Life has never been All or Nothing- it's All and Nothing. Forget the binaries.

In the presence of love, hearth and quest become one.

When we learn to read, it's a real product of civilization and a civilized society. It affects your brain. It affects the way you think, and it gives you that capacity for self-reflection that you simply do not have without the agency of books.

I believe in communication; books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.

I keep myself locked as a box when it matters, and broken open when it doesn't matter at all.

I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck and vanished. A sounding. A reckoning. Gone.

I didn't mind being unpopular at school, because everyone else was a heathen.
