“There was still something unfinished around her eyes; she wasn’t done yet. She was a story, not an epilogue. And if she chose to narrate her own life one word at a time as she descended the stairs to meet her newest arrival, that wasn’t hurting anyone. Narration was a hard habit to break, after all. Sometimes it was all a body had.”

― Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway

That's the thing people forget when they start talking about things in terms of good and evil. For us, the places we went were home. We didn't care if they were good or evil or neutral or what. We cared about the fact that for the first time, we didn't have to pretend to be something we weren't. We just got to be.

You're nobody's rainbow. You're nobody's princess. You're nobody's doorway but your own, and the only one who gets to tell you how your story ends is you.

“I think the rules were different there. It was all about science, but the science was magical. It didn’t care about whether something could be done. it was about whether it should be done, and the answer was always, always yes.”

There is kindness in the world, if we know how to look for it. If we never start denying it the door.
