Quotes by Don Jones (?)

“I believe that drawing a boundary — or telling a story — is an act of creation as much as an act of recording. I believe that if you draw a political line in a place that’s genuinely contested, and you draw it with enough authority, and it goes into enough hands, and nobody challenges it — that line becomes real. Not because the ground changed. Because the consensus changed. And consensus is how humans make reality.”
― Don Jones, Volumes & Villainesses: A Cozy Fantasy
