Fifty is nothing. I look back at fifty and think, what the fuck was I so worried about? Look at me now. I’m in the afterlife. Go enjoy yourself.

They had the most future to speak for. They bore the trim of the unborn, and if there was any purpose to the world at all, it must be to make it kinder for those who waited across the Door for their time to be born.

You’re the one with all the stories. What do I have to even say?
That’s the thing. You got to go figure it out. I told you... you’re just like me. You got your own mountain to climb.

I believe against it all in Millennium Break. My name was Gur Sevraq, and I have been stolen from you. But you will win anyway. You must.

All words were sorcery. If enough people believed in words, in a language or a treaty or an Antler Stone, then the words could change the whole world. Faster and further than fire.

I really do love you. Thank you for giving me another chance.

Kevin looking back at Little, looking down at him lying there, Little fully returning his gaze, these fourteen pages the first time he's looked at anyone thus.

Elphaba had a bad case of what Galinda called the reading sulks. Elphaba didn’t curl up—she was too bony to curl—but she jackknifed herself nearer to herself, her funny pointed green nose poking in the moldy leaves of a book.

All the time I repeated history, got hurt, and suffered over and over, all of that was proof of my feelings for Madoka. So now, even pain is dear to me.

It's hard to even think of him as my brother. No connection or context for the kid. He's just a name and a letter.

I crave to walk on the mountain, the mountain of Gont, in the forests, in the autumn when the leaves are bright. There is no kingdom like the forests. It is time I went there, went in silence, went alone. And maybe there I would learn at last what no act or art or power can teach me, what I have

She wouldn’t let you do this to Station. She doesn’t toss people aside when they’re suddenly inconvenient, or to profit herself. Let alone call herself virtuous for doing it. Call her the ancillary again and I swear I’ll tear your tongue out of your head, or die trying.
