For the tragically uninformed, these images are taken from Madeleine L'Engle's magnificently weird and moving science fiction novel for children, A Wrinkle in Time.

I would totally get this inked into my skin. What children's book quote, image, or other literary symbol would you get written on your body (especially if it didn't hurt so much)?
