Common sense will nearly always stand you in better stead than a slavish adherence to the conventions. ↗

How did you do it?" I brought the teacup to my mouth for another sip. "How did you guide Sophie's soul? I thought you were a reaper." "He's both," Nash said from behind me, and I turned just as he followed my father through the front door, pulling his long sleeves down one at a time. He and my dad had just loaded Aunt Val's white silk couch into the back of my uncle's truck, so he wouldn't have to deal with the bloodstains when he and Sohie got back from the hospital. "Tod is very talented." Tod brushed the curl back from his face and scowled. Harmony spoke up from the kitchen as the oven door squealed open. "Both my boys are talented." "Both?" I repeated, sure I'd heard her wrong. Nash sighed and slid onto the chair his mother had vacated, then gestured toward the reaper with one hand. "Kaylee, meet my brother, Tod. ↗

You can take charge, kick ass, do whatever you have to do and it's okay. You can blow people up. These are things that are okay for cartoon characters to do. ↗

We have just witnessed a classic example of what I like to call 'misdirected rage'. I believe the technical term is being an ass. ↗

Ebediyet beni ilgilendirmez. Ben bir meşeyim, ne bir eksik ne bir fazla. Bir görevim var ve yerine getiriyorum; hoşlandığım şeyler var ve onlardan keyif alıyorum. Gerçi sayıca azaldılar. Çünkü kuşlar da azaldı. Hem, rüzgâr da berbat kokuyor artık. Tamam, uzun ömürlüyüm ama benim de geçici bir şey olmaya hakkım var. Ölümlü olma ayrıcalığım var. Oysa bu ayrıcalık elimden alındı. ... Dünya da ölümü gözleriyle görmek isteyen varsa bu onların sorunu, benim değil. Onlar için Ebediyet'i oynayamam. Ölüm isteyen, ağaçlara başvurmasın. Görmek istedikleri o ise, birbirlerinin gözlerine baksınlar ve ölümü orada görsünler. │ Rüzgarın On İki Yakası - Yolun Yönü ↗

I can do pain. That’s the easy part of life. It’s everything else, happiness, laughter, love, that’s fucking complicated. ↗

I get it the whole idea of willingly going to hell for someone. Living there insane if you have to because you’d rather be insane with them than endure life without them. ↗

Maybe freedom really is nothing left to lose. You had it once in childhood, when it was okay to climb a tree, to paint a crazy picture and wipe out on your bike, to get hurt. The spirit of risk gradually takes its leave. It follows the wild cries of joy and pain down the wind, through the hedgerow, growing ever fainter. What was that sound? A dog barking far off? That was our life calling to us, the one that was vigorous and undefended and curious. ↗
