"What's that supposed to mean? A wolf's head on a stick. Big wolf barbecue tonight? Bring your own wolf?"

"Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual."

"Sam:"Okay, what words would you use then?" i leaned back in the seat, thinking, as sam looked at me doubtfully. he was right to look doubtful. My head didnt work with words very well- at least not in this abstract, descriptive sort of way.
Grace:"Sensitive" i tried.
sam translated: "Squishy"
Grace:"creative"
Sam:"Dangerously emo"
Grace:"thoughtful"
Sam:"feng shui."
i laughed so hard i snorted.
Grace:"how did you get feng shui out of thoughtful?"
Sam:"you know, because in feng shui, you arrange funiture and plants and stuff in thoughtful ways""

"Snow is falling once again
My soul is weary of this world
My body fails me, weakening
How long can I endure this cold?
I hear the Raven calling me
Onyx brother takes me home
Once more to spirit I return
Upon raven wings I am borne

"A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of laughter more terrible than any sadness-a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the Sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild."

"We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be –the mythologized epitome of a savage ruthless killer – which is, in reality, no more than a reflected image of ourself."
— Farley Mowat (Never Cry Wolf : Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves)

"The deer hovered by the trees beyond as the sounds of the ravening wolves came to them across the grass, their own senses almost frozen in impotent horror."

""That we can never know," answered the wolf angrily. "That's for the future. But what we can know is the importance of what we owe to the present. Here and now, and nowhere else. For nothing else exists, except in our minds. What we owe to ourselves, and to those we're bound to. And we can at least hope to make a better future, for everything.""

"'Her caramel skin and curly beach sand hair spreads in wavy chops like the choppy storm waves on the ocean. Her fluffy rose colored lips glisten with eyes emerald green and almond shaped set deep into her face and yet when she looks at you with those same deep set eyes, it feels like they jump out, speaking to you.'

"Mr. Pappadakis smells like Just for Men peroxide dye and eucalyptus foot unguents. He has a face like a catcher's mitt. The whole thing puckers inward, drooping with the memory of some dropped fly ball."
