“People like you don’t go mad, Vi. They’re quiet on the outside and loud on the inside and sane as the day is long”

“We both fell asleep wrapped up together with the wolves still lullaby-ing us in the background”

“All good Heroes are scared, if they know the evil they face.”

“When you look into the darkness, the darkness looks into you.”
