    Will Durant (2011). “Our Oriental Heritage: The Story of Civilization”, p.44, Simon and Schuster

  • The Old Language really was beautiful, Blay thought. Staring at the symbols, for one brief, ridiculous moment he imagined his own name across Qhuinn's shoulders, carved into that smooth skin in the manner of the mating ritual. Never going to happen.

  • Almost every cartoonist, when he's sitting down to draw a funny face, if you watch him closely, his mouth is gonna curl to the expression that he's drawing. But when I would write a story - I know it's going to sound almost ridiculous and infantile - I would, in a way, start living it.

  • One of the things that often gets lost in discussions of depression is that you know it's ridiculous. You know it's ridiculous while you're experiencing it.

And yet you are nonetheless in its grip and you are unable to figure out any way around it.

I should prefer the obedience, affections and instinct of a dog before it.
