I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hopeFor hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faithBut the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
"Dying is just a boring side effect" - Ronan Lynch in The Raven Cycle by Maggie Steifvater
"I spent month following my grandfather's death eyding through a purgatory of beige waiting rooms and anonymous offices, analyzed and interviewed, talked about just out of earshot, nodding when spoken to, repeating myself, the object of a thousand pitying glances and knitted brows. My parents treated me like a breakeble heirloom, afraid to fight or fret in front of me lest I shatter." - Miss Peregrine's Home for Pecuilar Children by Ransom Riggs
