❝ That’s all we are - just stories. We only exist by how people remember us, by the stories we make of our lives. Without the stories, we’d just fade away. ❞ - Charles de Lint
❝ I suppose you have, sort of. You can do whatever you want, can’t you? I suppose that’s conquering the universe - doing what you want.❞ - V for Vendetta, Alan Moore
❝Human passions have mysterious ways, in children as well as grown-ups. Those affected by them can't explain them, and those who haven't known them have no understanding of them at all. Some people risk their lives to conquer a mountain peak. No one, not even they themselves, can really explain why. Others ruin themselves trying to win the heart of a certain person who wants nothing to do with them. Still others are destroyed by their devotion to the pleasures of the table. Some are so bent on winning a game of chance that they lose everything they own, and some sacrifice everything for a dream that can never come true. Some think their only hope of happiness lies in being somewhere else, and spend their whole lives traveling from place to place

❝The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.❞ - Louis Kahn
