Quote by Roshani Chokshi

“Aru glared. 'Well, you swim in your own toilet!' The fish did not have an eyebrow to raise villainously. But its tone managed the effect well enough, 'And you'll never know when I use the ocean as a toilet. Enjoy the mystery.' It flapped its tail and swam off.”

"Uh, imaginative," said Mini, a touch defensively. "Very imaginative." No one asked you to elaborate! Aru said through the mind link, but her sisters only laughed. "Kinda weird," said Rudy.

“Hope follows me wherever I go, but Hope is my biggest obstacle. She keeps me focused on the future, focused on becoming. Despair is holding my hand, he keeps me stuck in the past. Hope and Despair walk hand in hand with me, happily distracting me from what I am, distracting me from reality, inviting me to look anywhere but here and now. Hope acts as my friend, Despair acts as my enemy. Sometimes Despair feels more comforting than Hope, but they are the same character with different clothing. I’m here, I’m now, I am reality and I have the power to turn down any and all invitations into the land of illusion. Hope is just a thought, and so is Despair. I alone is real.”
