    Robin Hobb
    “In that last dance of chances

    I shall partner you no more.

    I shall watch another turn you

    As you move across the floor.


    In that last dance of chances

    When I bid your life goodbye

    I will hope she treats you kindly.

    I will hope you learn to fly.


    In that last dance of chances

    When I know you'll not be mine

    I will let you go with longing

    And the hope that you'll be fine.


    In that last dance of chances

    We shall know each other's minds.

    We shall part with our regrets

    When the tie no longer binds.”
    Robin Hobb, Fool's Fate

    “Chade, I know the Fool is strange. But I like it when he comes to talk to me. He speaks in riddles, and he insults me, and makes fun of me, and gives himself leave to tell me things he thinks I should do, like wash my hair, or not wear yellow. But (...) I like him. He mocks me, but from him, it seems a kindness. He makes me feel, well, important. That he could choose me to talk to.”

    “Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
    A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
    Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
    And when it's morning again, they'll wash away
    Here it's safe, here it's warm
    Here the daisies guard you from every harm
    Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
    Here is the place where I love you.”
    Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
