― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman Vol. 3: Dream Country

― Brad Meltzer, The Inner Circle

“But being the mirrors for each other's souls has a cost: by the time they part from each other, the individuals in the mating pair have become indistinguishable. Before their merger, they each yearned for the other; as they part, they part from the self. The very quality that attracted them to each other is also, inevitably, destroyed in their union.”
― Ken Liu, The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories

“We run to place and power over the dead bodies of those who fail and fall; ay, we win the food we eat from out the mouths of starving babes.”

“Even viewed conservatively, trees are worth far more than they cost to
plant and maintain. The U.S. Forest Service's Center for Urban Forest
Research found a ten-degree difference between the cool of a shaded
park in Tucson and the open Sonoran desert. A tree planted in the
right place, the center estimates, reduces the demand for air
conditioning and can save 100 kilowatt hours in annual electrical use,
about 2 to 8 percent of total use. Strategically planted trees can
also shelter homes from wind, and in cold weather they can reduce
heating fuel costs by 10 to 12 percent. A million strategically
planted trees, the center figures, can save $10 million in energy
costs. And trees increase property values, as much as 1 percent for
each mature tree. These savings are offset somewhat by the cost of
planting and maintaining trees, but on balance, if we had to pay for
the services that trees provide, we couldn't afford them. Because
trees offer their services in silence, and for free, we take them for
granted.”
― Jim Robbins, The Man Who Planted Trees: Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet

“If it is asserted that civilization is a real advance in the condition of man — and I think that it is, though only the wise improve their advantages — it must be shown that it has produced better dwellings without making them more costly; and the cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“Liberty isn’t free, despite the fact that we ‘freely’ disregard that fact.”

“I frequently prefer to ‘pretend’ to live for that allows me to completely avoid the cost I am certain to incur in actually living. However, it also robs me of the rewards. With that being the case, I might be wise to ask where the real cost actually lays?”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

― Sunyi Dean, The Book Eaters

“It seemed, in the beginning, that fighting back would only bring me further pain. That's the lesson they wanted me taught, but soon I realised I would be hurt anyway. Better to hurt someone else when I had a chance. Better to make them hesitate, to know it would cost them something.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“Everything is in flux

This noisy world wouldn’t let us live
within us even for a while.
We just push on, no matter the cost.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

“You needed not to be alone.

But what about him? Fifty years he'd been separated from his friends, his family...

I said, 'You let Amarantha and the entire world think you rule and delight in a Court of Nightmares. It's all a front- to keep what matters most safe.'

The city lights gilded his face. 'I love my people, and my family. Do not think I wouldn't become a monster to keep them protected.'

'You already did that Under the Mountain.' The words were out before I could stop them.

The wind rustled his hair. 'And I suspect I'll have to do it again soon enough.'

'What was the cost?' I dared ask. 'Of keeping this place secret and free?'

He shot straight down, wings beating to keep us smooth as we landed on the roof of the town house. I made to step away, but he gripped my chin. 'You know the cost already.'

Amarantha's whore.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“This has been a time of trying to figure out:
how much time do we spend maintaining the plans and systems we
have created for ourselves,
tying up the loose ends of the plans we've completed
or abandoned,
and imagining and making plans for what we want and need
in days to come?...

All have promise.
All have residue.
All have costs.
All have benefits.”
― Shellen Lubin
