Katherine Arden: "Do not flinch from frightening things, but face them and you will find they are nothing."

Healing is slow, brave, quiet work. Give it the respect it deserves.

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.

You just have to find the courage to make it happen, and ignore the voices telling you that you can’t. Life is too short to do things you don’t want to do, or get stuck in a career someone else decided was good for you.
