I've loved fairytales, folklore and mythology since I was a small child, and I think it was inevitable that they would influence my style and my development of stories.

If a man truly loves,....He does not consider the obstacles, the restrictions, the reasons why his choice may be flawed or impratical. He gives no heed to what others may think. His heart has no room for that, for it is filled to the brim with the unutterable truth of his feelings.

As for religious faith, a lack of it shouldn't stop us from doing good deeds for their own sake.

The greatest tales, well told, awaken the fears and longings of the listeners. Each man hears a different story. Each is touched by it according to his inner self. The words go to the ear, but the true message travels straight to the spirit.

You are... you're like a beating heart. A glowing lamp. I've never met anyone like you before.

The warmth of his embrace soaked into me, a powerful charm against the dark things.

Stronger than iron crueler than death sweeter than springtime it lives beyond breath
