“I read stuff. Books are not my only friends, but we’re friendly. So there.”

“If you look at the sky that way, it’s this massive shifting poem, or maybe a letter, first written by one author, and then, when the earth moves, annotated by another. So I stare and stare until, one day, I can read it.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“I'm dark matter. The universe inside of me is full of something, and science can't even shine a light on it. I feel like I'm mostly made of mysteries.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“Death is the Santa Claus of the adult world. Except Santa Claus in reverse. The guy who takes all the presents away.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“Because every time someone finds a new animal, or a new amazing thing on earth, it means we haven't broken everything yet.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“You hold no horrors for me” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“I {} you more than [[[{{{}}}]]].” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“Yes, I’m a reader. Kill me. I could tell you I was raised in the library and the books were my only friends, but I didn’t do that, did I? Because I have mercy. I’m neither a genius nor a kid destined to become a wizard. I’m just me. I read stuff. Books are not my only friends, but we’re friendly. So there.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“I can't imagine a universe in which I try to unlove her.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“We are made of awkward.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“I like the sky. It's rational to me in a way that life isn't.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“I know everyone has dreams of flying, but this isn’t a dream of flying. It’s a dream of floating, and the ocean is not water but wind. I call it a dream, but it feels realer than my life.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“Did he just say stormsharks? My inner nerd is elated. Can anything I will ever hear from now until the end of time sound cooler than stormsharks?” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“I don't think of the sky as any kind of heaven item. I think of it as a bunch of gases and faraway echoes of things that used to be on fire.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“Life and death aren’t as different from each other as I thought they were. This isn’t like walking into a new country. This is like walking into a new room in the same house. This is like sharing a hallway and the same row of framed family pictures, but there’s a glass wall between.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“People never think, until it happens to their place, that all construction is destruction. The whole planet is paved in the dead, who are ignored so the living can dig their foundations.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, The Mere Wife
“Looping. Some days are so dark I can't see anything but a miserable fog of number after number, word after word, clouds of verbs and nouns and none of them the ones that will make time go backward.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
“Listen,' someone whispers into my ear. 'Listen to me.'Am I dead?'Listen,' the voice whispers. 'In some countries, you kill a monster when it's born. Other places, you kill it only when it kills someone else. Other places, you let it go, out into the forest or the sea, and it lives there forever, calling for others of its kind. Listen to me, it cries. Maybe it's just alone.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, The Mere Wife
“Even people who've never seen a miracle can believe in miracles.” ― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
