Quotes from Daily Negations (2007)
“I think the only way to get through this life is laughing hard and constantly, mostly at myself.”
Shannon Hale
(1974) American fantasy novelist
“Hither, thither, masterless
Ship upon the sea,
Wandering through the ways of air,
Go the birds like me.
Bound am I by ne’er a bond,
Prisoner to no key,
Questing go I for my kind,
Find depravity.”

Feror ego veluti
sine nauta navis,
ut per vias aeris
vaga fertur avis,
non me tenent vincula,

Quęro mihi similes,
et adiungor pravis.
