“I do not know how long he kept on like this, hating to go on, not daring to stop, on, on, until he was tireder than tired. It seemed like all the way to tomorrow and over it to the days beyond.”

“All of this was too much. I tried to remember my life back at HDF, when I was a boring human in love with my best friend, who I thought didn't feel the same. And I thought that was complicated. Now my best friend was part fae, connected to the man I brought back to life because of powers shoved into me from an evil queen, a cursed witch, and a probably half insane Dae. The same person trying to kill me now. We all were being babyset by a dead druid, using the body of an old gypsy seer who had been shot multiple times tonight. "My life." I scoured at my face in utter disbelief, realizing I hadn't even gone into my friends standing around me and all their issues.”

“Science proceeds by inference, rather than by the deduction of mathematical proof. A series of observations is accumulated, forcing the deeper question: What must be true if we are to explain what is observed? What "big picture" of reality offers the best fit to what is actually observed in our experience? American scientist and philosopher Charles S. Peirce used the term "abduction" to refer to the way in which scientists generate theories that might offer the best explanation of things. The method is now more often referred to as "inference to the best explanation." It is now widely agreed to be the philosophy of investigation of the world characteristic of the natural sciences.”
