“People aren't like that. They aren't content to just live simple lives that don't hurt anyone. There's always this kind of undercurrent in people driving them forward to either good things or really bent, gnarled things. It's not that they just wake up one day and decide to start a fight. This kind of thinking is just building up in them all the time, like the tick of a clock, like the beat of a heart, it's the rhythm they think their thoughts to. Selflessness, courage, honor - these things are strange and unintelligible to them as evil and cruelty are to you.”
― Sarah K.L. Wilson

“I find that being oneself is an excellent choice, as everyone else is already taken.”

“Blind belief is a comfort; it is the frame that puts the rest of the world into context. It allows us to block out the things that don’t make sense, that which frightens us. It narrows our vision so that the world does not feel so large. Would it comfort you to have the frame of superstition? To believe that if you say the right words and sacrifice the right things, then your world will stay exactly as it is? Or do you wish to choose what you believe, what you trust and understand?”
― Cora Carmack, Roar

“To live in the moment is vastly different than living for it. To be truly present as life unfolds around one is to take fullest advantage of being alive.”
