"The main thing about ghosts " most of them have lost their voices. In Asphodel, millions of them wander around aimlessly, trying to remember who they were. You know why they end up like that? Because in life they never took a stand one way or another. They never spoke out, so they were never heard. Your voice is your identity. If you don't use it,' Nico said with a shrug, 'you're halfway to Asphodel already.' He hated when his own advice applied to himself."

"Smiling Bloopers Insincere smiling can backfire! (Different from a shy smile that just beckons a friendly "hello.") Transitioning from a smile to a straight face, too quickly, may give others the impression that you are fake or do not like them. Going overboard and smiling all the time, especially when it is inappropriate, will make you appear insincere. If your mouth smiles, but your eyes don't, there is a disconnect that can make you appear less authentic and trustworthy."

Yet, if we trust solely in the expanse of them to explain this God of ours or articulate our experience of Him, we will have brutally destroyed the very things we are attempting to explain. And if I should do that, no words can describe how badly I wish I had no words."

"When they were in school, Peter used to say that everything you do is a self-portrait. It might look like 'Saint George and the Dragon' or 'The Rape of the Sabine Women,' but the angle you use, the lighting, the composition, the technique, they're all you. You are every color and brushstroke."

"I think we still believe that ambition is for boys."
Ambition
"I think therefore I am. Does that mean 'I feel therefore I'm not'? But only through feeling can I get at thinking."
Philosophy
"The wider we read the freer we become."
Knowledge

Ethics
"The free man never thinks of escape."
Freedom
"Hopeless heart that thrives on paradox, that longs for the beloved and is secretly relieved when the beloved is not there."

"Yes, the stories are dangerous, she was right. A book is a magic carpet that flies you off elsewhere. A book is a door. You open it. You step through. Do you come back?"
Fantasy
"I was sixteen and my mother was about to throw me out of the house forever, for breaking a very big rule, even bigger than the forbidden books. The rule was not just No Sex, but definitely No Sex With Your Own Sex."
