“I do not care what comes after; I have seen the dragons on the wind of morning.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore

 “Wisconsin doesn't look kindly on the weeks that slip in between the death of cold and the birth of warmth; Persephone may have left her husband, but she isn't home yet, and this is one state that'll be damned before it lets anyone forget it.”

― Seanan McGuire, Sparrow Hill Road
