We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.

Houses are not haunted. We are haunted, and regardless of the architecture with which we surround ourselves, our ghosts stay with us until we ourselves are ghosts.

Too much mystery is merely an annoyance. Too much adventure is exhausting. And a little terror goes a long way.

Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore.

But the more people we love and the more deeply we love them, the more vulnerable we are to loss and grief and loneliness.

Even in the darkest moments, light exists if you have the faith to see it. Fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always in the soul. In misfortune lies the seed of future triumph.
