"Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man's will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself" The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

I used to follow this poet on Instagram named @arianapoetess and she wrote this tiny poem that has stuck with me forever. Even close to 6 years later, it remains to be one of my favorite things. The quote/poem is:

"Let's get lost tonight and breathe in the stars.
Let's get high off a life that we know isn't ours."

That is very good. Now Zhang Yong doesn't have to go to Borneo and scold stupid monk.
Quoted by Zhang Yong in Dan Hendrickson's book, Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess
Ha! Forbidden to stupid monk but not me.
Again quoted by Zhang Yong in Dan Hendrickson's book, Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess

I loved Zhang Yong and his hilarious quotes throughout the book.
