Intention is one of the most powerful forces there is. What you mean when you do a thing will always determine the outcome. The law creates the world.

I had only to remember that centuries before, men fell in battle for the daughter of Troy, that passions carried greater weight than decorum. It took so little to prove that human life and property are devastatingly temporary. All she had to do was lie down for a prince. They burned the city to the ground.

People make decisions, and maybe you don't always agree, but those choices are still their own.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how dark the world gets. You can be saved by the smallest thing.

I fell headfirst into a sinkhole of pretty things, and the world inside your eyelids is just as big as the one outside.

I wanted it in the way you sometimes want to jump into very cold water, even though you know it won't feel good. I wanted to go numb. To see what it felt like to be someone else.

The world is full of unused corners.
