“Your mistake, indeed the mistake of your inherently finite senses, is to view the universe as an extension of yourself. You expect that, like you, it should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. but what you fail to understand is that everything you consider to be you, except for that rather silly imaginary part you call consciousness, is merely bits and pieces borrowed from the universe, and to the universe it will all return. You had no beginning, and you will have no ending. Everything that is you has always been and will always be.”
― A. Lee Martinez, Monster

“All things exist in as simple a form as necessity dictates. When a thing is labeled 'complex,' that's just a roundabout way of saying you're not observant enough to understand it.”
― A. Lee Martinez, In the Company of Ogres

“Because life is complicated and difficult. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't truly lived.”
― A. Lee Martinez, A Nameless Witch

“We all carry many selves, but in the end, these are just phantoms of possibility, nothing more than ghosts of broken destinies.”
― A. Lee Martinez, A Nameless Witch
