Roald Dahl
“I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it's impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren't feeling twinkly yourself. A mouth-smile is different. You can fake a mouth-smile any time you want, simply by moving your lips. I've also learned that a real mouth-smile always has an eye-smile to go with it. So watch out, I say, when someone smiles at you but his eyes stay the same. It's sure to be a phony.”
Roald Dahl, Danny the Champion of the World

“Hey, Realist Riley, you know we write our own realities, don't you? You have to put the things you want out into the world. If you don't demand the best for yourself, you're guaranteed not to receive it. You gotta be in it to win, kid. Why doom yourself to mediocrity?”
Graci Kim, The Last Fallen Moon
