“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

“Let go of your anger," I say quietly, echoing the words Gwisin Halmeoni had said to Jennie. "Anger will only make it hurt more. And I know you don't like mirrors, but these are people's homes that you're destroying."
She whines and lets out a sad caw-caw. "But it is part of who I am. The curse of my ancestor makes me this way."
I stroke her wing feathers, now tucked snugly into her body. "Don' let a curse define who you can and can't be. Only you have the power to decide that.”

“You will never be a hero. You were never meant to be a hero."
Hero. that one word made Aru lift her chin. It made her think of Mini and Boo, her mom, and all the incredible things she herself had done in just nine days. Breaking the lamp hadn't been heroic... but everything else? Fighting for people she cared about and doing everything it took to fix her mistake? That was heroism.
Vajra became a spear in her hand.
"I already am. And it's heroine.”
