Quote by Addison Lane

“And then they are falling, their hair streaming, the dog wailing against her throat. Jude’s laugh is as sharp and delirious as wind pummeling the splintered lines of broken glass. It’s a terrible sound. The mad smile on her face, the wide stretch of her lids around her eyes, is unpleasant, and yet Maya finds herself mirroring the expression—a shriek of terrified joy breaking from her throat as they hit the water.”

“What do you think you’ll lose?” “I don’t know.” I check your amber eyes for signs of impatience, but you don’t seem mad. Just curious. “I’ll never make you tell me anything you don’t want to tell me,” you say. “But you are right, Callie. Sometimes it will feel like you’re losing something.” I reach for another tissue. Wet, wadded-up tissues keep piling up in my lap. “But Callie,” you say. “If we work hard, you’ll find something much better to take the place of whatever you give up. I promise.”

“In the absence of evidence on either side, the presumption should be against creating a new, legalized monopoly. The burden of proof should lie on those who claim, in any particular case, that the state should step in to stop competition, outlaw copying, proscribe technology, or restrict speech.”
