-KB Nelson, Carnival

"There is only my past and there is my present and future. The two cannot collide. I believe physics make that impossible."

"Instead, she slept on, dreaming of things that were far eerier than a ring. Even eerier than an unknown Cast- forever Binding a Siren, a Natural, a Keeper, a Wayward, and two Incubuses- under a summer moon in a Caster county. A full moon was for making magic. Magic and memories."

-Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Dangerous Creatures

But if you can do that, you'll see something magical."

-Laura Ward, Not Yet
