Forshadowing Quotes

“Alice might end up neither good nor bad. She might end up somewhere in between. That would make her very dangerous to know. That girl could be the bane of your life, a blight, a poison on everything you do. Or she might turn out to be the best and strongest friend you’ll ever have.

Those with blood on their paws and wool in their jaws should heed these old saws.”
― Richard Adams, Plague (The) Dogs
