For Rick Roirdan, for creating a world for us demigods to call home. 

"At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead. The hard thing is finding the courage to do it."-Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games Trilogy: Catching Fire; Susanne Collins.

"There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciouness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."-Hazel Grace Lancaster, The Fault in Our Stars; John Green.

"All of your flaws and all of my flaws,
When they have been exhumed
We'll see that we need them to be who we are
Without them we'd be doomed"-Bastille, Flaws.

"People like us, we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up, nothing lasts forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom

Oh whoa oh oh whoa oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh whoa oh oh whoa oh
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us"-Kelly Clarkson, People Like Us.

"For the better or worse, we continue to live.
For we fear the unknown, so we do not end our suffering.
For our fear of the unknown propells us forward.
And that, I believe, is only the truth."-Maeve Sicotte.
