“Before, I never knew how far I would go. Now I believe I have the answer. I will go as far as there is to go. I will go way too far.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I propose to speak about fairy-stories, though I am aware that this is a rash adventure. Faërie is a perilous land, and in it are pitfalls for the unwary and dungeons for the overbold.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, Tolkien On Fairy-stories
