“In the end maybe the brave ones are also the foolish ones. Maybe only fools are ever truly brave.”
― Mikaela Everett, The Unquiet

“You are not the clouds or even the blue sky where clouds live. You are the sun behind them, giving light to all, and the sun is made up of goodness and kindness and light.”
― Francisco X. Stork, The Memory of Light

“You're just smelling for smoke
so you can follow the trail
back to a burning house,
so you can find the boy
who lost everything in the fire
to see if you can save him.

Or else--

find the boy
who lit the fire
in the first place,
to see if you
can change him.”
― Sarah Kay, B

“You hardly see me in the sun,
My sparkle's in the stars.
When all is dark around you,
I'm the memory of light.

I'm not the fruit of summer.
I'm not the blooming rose.
I live in roots of trees
And in the seeds of love.

When all is lost around you,
When life's last dream is gone,
I'll be the breath you breathe,
The next step that you take.”
― Francisco X. Stork, The Memory of Light
