― Brian Vaughan

“We learn from one another and teach one another. That is what life is all about. For as we learn, we advance as a species. We learn until we die.”
― Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson, House Corrino

“I do not listen when anyone uses the word 'immoral'. In the young it is ridiculous. In the old, it is sententious and reactionary. In the middle-aged, who love and fear the idea of moral life the most, it is hypocritical.”
― Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

“A baby wasn't an idea, as love was an idea. A baby was a fact. It was a being with a mind and a nature, and you could feel about it any way you liked, but a baby wouldn't care. Just by existing, it demanded that you believe in a future: the future it would crawl in, walk in, live in. A baby was a piece of time; it was a promise you made that the world made back to you. A baby was the oldest deal there was, to go on living.”
― Justin Cronin, The Passage
