Now, we are agreed, I and my destinies.

No, it was just that whatever goodness was there coexisted with rage and grief and loss. John Connolly

There are people whose eyes you must avoid, whose attention you must not draw to yourself.

Sometimes, it is better to keep your eyes on the gutter for the fear that, by looking up, you might catch a glimpse of them, black shapes against the sun, and be blinded forever.
