Christopher Ruocchio
“You can be too free. That's chaos. To be truly free is to be like one who is adrift on a raft in the middle of the sea. One can sail anywhere in any direction. But what good is that by itself? You need a goal. You need constraints. You need to know which way to sail with whatever meagre supplies and abilities you have. The properly led life is one that draws the best path between who you could become, and who you are today. But this is accomplished by sacrificing certain freedoms. By making choices.”
Christopher Ruocchio, Howling Dark

“Standing among my final friends in all the universe, I raised my sword and laughed.”

“Deep truths there may be, but none is deeper than this: Those lost to us do not return, nor the years turn back. Rather it is that we carry a piece of those lost to us within ourselves, or on our backs. Thus ghosts are real, and we never escape them.”
Christopher Ruocchio, Howling Dark

“Sad is like a big ocean, and you can’t breathe deep down. You can float on it, you can swim a little, but be careful. Grief is drowning. Grief is deep water.”
Christopher Ruocchio, Howling Dark

“We are beasts of burden, Hadrian, we men. We struggle, and by that struggle are filled, and so define ourselves. That is the way.”
Christopher Ruocchio, Howling Dark
