"I donâ€™t want to be like her, like Vivian. I donâ€™t want to hurt anyone. Am I going to hurt people?â€ â€œNo one can make you do that, child. You are caught between two worlds, much like my own Lend. You will want the fire, you will want to be filled. It is your nature. I hope you do not fall, but she is much stronger than you are.â€ She smiled at me, reaching out as though she would wipe away my tears. â€œCling to what is good in your life. Be good to my son."

-- Kiersten White

“Find out what it means to die - not physically, that's inevitable - but to die to everything that is known, to die to your family, to your attachments, to all the things that you have accumulated, the known, the known pleasures, the known fears.
