Quotes by Robyn Cadwallader (?)

“A few words from me won’t touch your grief, and nor should they. Tend your grief like hard ground, and wait. One day, something will grow; there won’t be an answer, but you will see you’ve found a way to live, and to live with death.”
― Robyn Cadwallader, The Anchoress

“Anger, while it lasts, so blinds the heart that it is unable to discern the truth. It is a kind of enchanter, which can transform human nature. Anger is a shape-shifter, as stories tell us, for it strips people of their reason and totally changes their appearance, and transforms them from a human into the likeness of a beast.”
― Robyn Cadwallader, The Anchoress: A Novel

“Disturbance only comes into the heart from something that has been seen or heard, tasted or smelled, and felt outwardly.”
