1 " Dream!
Forge yourself and rise
Out of your mind and into others.
Men, be women.
Fish, be flies.
Girls, take beards.
Sons, be your mothers.
The future of the world now lies
In coral wombs behind our eyes. "

― Clive Barker , Abarat: Absolute Midnight

in the hands
of the things we love
and sometimes
the things we love
are the things
that lead us
to the fatal destruction
of ourselves. "

― , Black Butterfly

Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied,
And vice sometime's by action dignified. "

― William Shakespeare , Romeo and Juliet

to be his life purpose; that justified him. Even if his work had been
worthless, he would have been a thousand times more successful than if
he had put down his desire and become the richest merchant in
Amsterdam. (Mendes Da Costa "
