Commonplace book: Winter 2025-2026

From Through Gates of Garnet and Gold, by Seanan McGuire:

To be kind to a caterpillar was to show mercy to a future that was far from guaranteed.

From The Teller of Small Fortunes, by Jenny Leong:

There’s no such thing as the greater good–there’s just good, and the more of it we can do, the better.

From Edmonds Scanner, on BlueSky:

There are wolves inside of you, wild & free.
There’s also a grumpy bear who just wants to sleep, a disdainful owl who’s had enough nonsense, and a sad little hedgehog who often feels the weight of the world.

From “The Crime of Witness,” by Fintan O’Toole:

If the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, a country that inflicts the ultimate punishment on those who dare to be vigilant can no longer be free.
