Sam

“There was romance in the unknown, but once a place had been discovered and cataloged and mapped, it was diminished, just another dusty fact in a book, sapped of mystery. So maybe it was better to leave a few spots on the map blank. To let the world keep a little of its magic, rather than forcing it to divulge every last secret. Maybe it was better, now and then, to wonder.”
― Ransom Riggs, Hollow City

“Stories are wild creatures, the monster said. When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?”
― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls

“I am awaiting
perpetually and forever
a renaissance of wonder”
― Lawrence Ferlinghetti

“And sometimes you held somebody’s hand just to prove that you were still alive, and that another human being was there to testify to that fact.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
