“In my mind are all the tides, their seasons, their ebbs and their flows. In my mind are all the halls, the endless procession of them, the intricate pathways. When this world becomes too much for me, when I grow tired of the noise and the dirt and the people, I close my eyes and I name a particular vestibule to myself; then I name a hall.”
― Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“I dream too much and I don’t write enough and I’m trying to find god everywhere.”
― Anis Mojgani

“If you find yourself trapped inside a dimming world, remember it was always this dark inside the body. Where the heart, like the law, stops only for the living.
If you find yourself, then congratulations, your hands are yours to keep.
If you forget me, then you've gone too far. Turn back.”
