From this thing.
148. What’s your favourite quote?
Wellllll I have a lot. But strong contenders are “Do not go gentle into that good night; rage, rage against the dying of the light” and “I’d rather be divisive than indecisive” and “Humanity is where the falling angel meets the rising ape” and “You are what you love, not who loves you.” At least, those are the ones I can think of, right this second. I’m sure there are a thousand and one I’ll regret not putting on here once I remember them.
149. Do you believe in ghosts?
I…sort of? Not so much in the ‘running around causing trouble’ sense, like I’m pretty confident that those ghosthunter TV shows are bullshit, but I have difficulty discrediting something that’s been such an integral part of human thought for so long. Even though the modern American concept of ghosts pretty much dates to the Civil War (there was this whole thing about the dead coming home, since you usually didn’t get the bodies back), the concept of a lingering spirit is…old. Very old. And very universal. So I have trouble rejecting out-of-hand one of the only things humanity ever seems to have agreed on.
150. Get the closest book next to you, open it to page 42, what’s the first line on that page?
“Aerin knew that Tor was careful not to use his real strength when he forced her back; but at least, as she learned, he had to be quick to keep her off; and strength, she hoped, would come.”
It’s from The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley and let me tell you something, sweetie, that book is probably one of my top three favorites. It’s amazing. If anyone wants to hear more I will write you the most impassioned book rec in history.
