Beastly Bones (Jackaby, #2)

by William Ritter

All exceptional people are, by definition, exceptions to the norm. If we insist on being ordinary, we can never be truly extraordinary.”

“So often,” Jackaby said, “people think that when we arrive at a crossroads, we can choose only one path, but—as I have often and articulately postulated—people are stupid. We’re not walking the path. We are the path. We are all of the roads and all of the intersections. Of course you can choose both.”

I merely wish to remind you of what I said about failure. Chin up. March right through it. The only paths you can’t travel are the ones you block yourself—so don’t let the fear of failure stop you from trying in the first place.
