    Meg Cabot
    “Ode to Algebra

    Thrust into this dingy classroom
    we die like lampless moths
    locked into the desolation of
    fluorescent lights and metal desks.
    Ten minutes until the bell rings.
    What use is the quadratic formula
    in our daily lives?
    Can we use it to unlock the secrets
    in the hearts of those we love?
    Five minutes until the bell rings.
    Cruel Algebra teacher,
    won't you let us go?”
    Meg Cabot, The Princess Diaries

    Amie Kaufman
    “The glow flares bright—bright as the billion-year-old light around us. Bright as a sun.

    Almost every particle in the universe was once part of a star.

    First, hydrogen condensing and collapsing, bringing radiance to the void.

    Furnaces burning bright, then fading, giving all they had left back into the cosmos.

    Carbon and oxygen. Iron and gold.

    Vast clouds swirling with their own gravity. Coalescing and disintegrating.

    Generation to generation.

    The remnants of stellar alchemy, stirring into life, then consciousness.

    Crawling from the oceans. Taking to the skies.

    And from there, back to the stars that birthed them.

    A perfect circle.”
    Amie Kaufman, Illuminae

    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    Sabaa Tahir
    “It takes only a split second for life to go horribly wrong. To fix the mess, I need a thousand things to go right. The distance from one bit of luck to the next feels as great as the distance across oceans. But, I decide in this moment, I will bridge that distance, again and again, until I win. I will not fail.”
    Sabaa Tahir, A Torch Against the Night
