Fantasy Quote of the Week

As the vampire could not return to simpler times, so Katje saw herself cut off from the life of raw vigor, the rivers of game, the smoky village air, all viewed from the lofty heights of white privilege. One did not have to sleep half a century to lose one's world these days; one had only to grow older.
--Suzy McKee Charnas, "The Ancient Mind at Work"

I just want to write myself a world and go live in it.

Movie Quote of the Week

You know, in my world, Casey, there were limitless oceans as far as the eye could see. A beautiful home until it started to dry up. So I escaped, came here and met you. All of you. All of you were different from the others. You were lost and lonely, just like me. And I thought that maybe I could give you a taste of my world: a world without anger, without fear, without attitude. Where the underachiever goes home to parents who care. The jock can be smart, the ugly duckling beautiful, and the class wuss doesn't have to live in terror. And the new girl -- Well, she can just fit right in with people who are just like her. You see, Casey, even Marybeth's feelings can be hurt... by a bunch of pathetic, lost, little outcasts... who truly believe that their disaffected lonely life... is the only way they can survive. I can make you a part of something so special, Casey, so perfect, so fearless. Don't you want that, Casey?
--Laura Harris, The Faculty (1998)

The world looks like it did ten years ago, but underneath, it's become very strange indeed. An invisible struggle has begun. Most of the people who knew this are already dead. All things being equal, I prefer you didn't join them.
--Michael Emerson, Person of Interest, "Relevance"

Fantasy Quote of the Week

I am cursed to live between worlds. On the one side there is normalcy. On the other, there is a place where I can be what I am with no fear of reprisals, where I can commit murder itself and scarcely raise the eyebrows of those around me, where I am even encouraged to do so to protect the sanctity of that world. But I left and I can’t return. I won’t return.
--Kelley Armstrong, Bitten

Literary Quote I Like

“Hi,” I said. “Omnes mundum facimus.”

“That's all right. I don't need the magic phrase. But as long as we're on the subject, have you worked it out yet?”

I had, finally. “It's a comeback,” I told him. “To that thing people say when they don't want to be blamed for a bad situation: 'I didn't make the world, I only live in it.'”
--Matt Ruff, Bad Monkeys
