“Stir not murky waters if you know not the depth or the creatures that dwell beneath the surface.”
“...I make no apology about stirring the depths - every human longs to swim under water and see what lurks beneath ...”
“Murky thoughts, like murky waters, can serve two purposes only: to hide what lies beneath, which is our ignorance, or to make the shallow seem deep”
“This is the only way another creature can be known: on the surface, that's where there is depth.”
“You don't really keep vigil; it keeps you-suspended in awkward silence and dead air-desperate for anything at all to stir some hope out of these murky waters and make things vital again.”
“Beware the dark pool at the bottom of our hearts. In its icy, black depths dwell strange and twisted creatures it is best not to disturb.”
