“believe me. Sometimes when life looks to be at its grimmest, there's a light hidden at the heart of things.Clive Barker, Abarat”

“Believe me, when I say;There are no two powersThat command the soul.One is GodThe other is the tide.-AnonFrom the novel Abarat”

“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I'm gazing at a distant star. It's dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago.Maybe the star doesn't even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.”

“My eyes are darting to all the places my magazines are hidden. I feel like an idiot sometimes for having printed evidence. My friends look at stuff on their phones like it's their job. Don't get me wrong, I've looked, and there's some alright stuff online, but I prefer the magazines. I guess I'm a retro sort of man. Call me classy.”

“When bad things happen, I know you want to believe they are a joke, But sometimes life is scary and dark. That is why we must find the light.”

“Sometimes, when the sun is shining, it's daytime,"Robert snapped."And sometimes, when it's dark, it's because there's an eclispe,"Leslie snapped back.”
