“Extremist individuals live inside every single group on the planet. Devout followers from Christian to Muslim who kill in the name of God, down to people who perpetuate a cycle of abuse from parent to child. And do you know at what point they're labeled terrorists?"
Martini said. "When the government--"
"When the news reports it." . . .”
― Mur Lafferty, Six Wakes

“Grief is like a drunken house guest, always coming back for one more goodbye hug.”
― Stephen King, Bag of Bones

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
