Quote by Simon James Green

“No one is exactly how you’d like them to be, all of the time. Of course they aren’t. Being human means being flawed, imperfect, messy. But you can’t beat yourself up for that. And I don’t think you can beat other people up for it either.”

“One looked at people in buses and trains, when their bodies were quiescent and their minds somewhere else, in a book or a newspaper, or behind them at the place they had left, or before them at the place they were going to, and they seemed harmless enough, and so they were while you were looking at them---but what hadn't those apparently tranquil bodies harboured? Souls that had been jealous and angry and afraid and envious, even murderous, and the bodies themselves had been passionate, intemperate, greedy, agonised. People you saw in the buses and trains weren't really themselves at all, only the quiescent ghosts of what they had been, and what they might still be again.”
