All your questions can be answered, if that is what you want. But once you learn your answers, you can never unlearn them.

We have the right, and the obligation, to tell old stories in our own ways, because they are our stories.

None of us exist in a world that is the same world that any of the rest of us live in. The world that's important is the world behind each of our eyes, which is something that none of the rest of us can access.

That's sexism, that is. Going around giving people girly presents just because they're a girl.

People populate the darkness with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales.
