I am haunted by the ghost of my father, I think that should allow me to quote Hamlet as much as I please.

Good and evil are a great deal more complex than a princess and a dragon . . . is not the dragon the hero of his own story?

Better to have a single perfect diamond than a sack of flawed stones.

It is destroying me that I cannot ask you to dance.

The fact that people are already reading and loving something I wrote is still hard to believe.

Though I have seen a great deal of the sights, traveled a number of the available paths, there are always corners that remain unexplored, doors that remain unopened.

It's too late. It was too late by the time I arrived in London to turn your notebook into a dove; there were too many people already involved. Anything either of us does has an effect on everyone here, on every patron who walks through those gates. Hundreds if not thousands of people. All flies in a spiderweb that was spun when I was six years old and now I can barely move for fear of losing someone else.
