Quotes by S.A. MacLean (?)

“To anyone who's ever felt like you aren't good enough. You are, and you always have been.”
― S.A. MacLean

“People nearly drove Silimalo phoenixes extinct...Our greed. Our short-sightedness. All for a few feathers, we almost wiped out a species. But people saved the phoenixes, too. We captured the last wild birds and brought them into captivity. We started breeding them, trying to keep the species alive. For me phoenixes are a reminder of how awful people can be... but also how much good we can do, when we put our minds to it.”
― S.A. MacLean

“Strength is easy to fake, Fionamara. Vulnerability is hard. Yet here you sit.”
