“Over time, ink fades like a duck quack in the wind. I have a baseball signed by Babe Ruth, but his autograph has gone invisible. That’s why it’s now ON SALE for ONLY $19.95.”

“Tamsin gave a strangled cry, sweeping her arm across her cluttered tabletop, relishing the chaos and clatter of her belongings tumbling to the stone floor. A crystal splintered. Her mug shattered, scattering chunks of hardened clay across the room. Loose papers floated into the fire, the flames devouring the dark ink until the words no longer existed.”

“Books, after all, are extraordinary things: thoughts made visible, paper and ink sculptures of the mind, time and space made into words. There's no end to judging so many books. But a literary editor's work is never what Ecclesiastes calls a weariness of the flesh. Rather, it's an animation of the spirit.”

“And while I was going to meet
the flowers and sculptures of Montreux,
I smelled Lord Byron’s ink
sweating an amazing darkness out
from the medieval body of Chillon Castle
From the poem - Along the Shore”

“Ink down,
Before you lean,
For, seconds shall mount you high;
To the heights of revolution
And, minutes will surround you,
With diamonds of the reforms
Hours will erode away, that
Chronic menace of the ignorance”

“The "friend" who consistently points out the flaws in your plan, or uses a magnifying glass to find the defect in your product, or constantly searches for the chink in your armor, is the "friend" praying for your downfall. Watch and listen for the signs. Know your circle.
Real ones are cheering from the sidelines, not wishing it was them in the game.”

“I think of the note I found, of the press of his nibbed pen hard enough to send flecks of ink spattering as he wrote my name. Hard enough to dig through the page, maybe to scar the desk beneath.
If that's what he did to the paper, I shudder to think what he wants to do to me.”
― The Cruel Prince

“Even at that time, my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw notches of ink on incomprehensible pages, I saw light, streets , and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a boundless world, a safe haven from that home, those streets and those troubled days in which even I could sense that only a limited fortune awaited me. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them – apart from the letters he could not decipher – that offended him. He used to tell me as soon as I was ten he would send me off to work and that I’d better get rid of all my scatterbrained ideas because otherwise I’d end up being a loser, a nobody.”

KISKE SHABDON MEIN KITNI SIYAHI HAI, YEH TOH WAQT HI BATAYEGA”

“Love paints the heart so delicate;
so why would my words
ever borrow the ink
of their own demise?”

“And young Saoirse didn’t tattoo her face just for the aesthetics. There’s power in ink, coldblood. And not just the silvered kind.”

“I dip the brush in ink. Making ink---grinding powders, mixing colors (golds, silver, azurite), and adding glue---can take hours. Someday, I might be able to do this. But it's a master's skill, and I am a novice. It is the way of kata, the practice of doing something over and over again until it is second nature. Calligraphy is part of the imperial identity. Therefore, it is part of mine now.”

Everything we know
The things that haunt us
in our sleep
The scars,
The joy,
The sweat,
The tears
Is just a bit of ink.”

“words in my own reality,
my own mind,
are trapped there,
screaming to escape
as lines and curves
as throbbing black blood
onto the crisp ivory paper,
sitting placidly,
below my trembling hand,
hair falls into my face,
coldness burns in my bones,
my thoughts choke me as
I sit in pure agony,
plummeting into the
intoxicatingly sweet hands
of madness”

Plummeting into the
Intoxicatingly sweet hands of

“I am at lessons in the palace grove, sitting in the long shadows of the late afternoon. The moon has already risen, a sharp crescent in the cloudless blue sky. I draw a star chart from memory, my ink a dark red that clots on the paper. It's blood, I realise. I am dabbing my quill into an inkpot full of blood.”
