Greenmantle Quotes

“Do you know what keeps poor people down, Mr. Parrish? It’s not a lack of income. It’s a poverty of imagination. The trailer park dreams of the suburbs, and the suburbs dreams of the city, the city dreams of the stars, so on and so forth. The poor can imagine the throne, but not being kingly. Poverty of imagination.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

“It said, Qui facit per alium facit per se.

Greenmantle knew the proverb.

He who does a thing by the agency of another does it himself.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

“The Gray Man backed away from Piper, gun still pointed at her, and then disappeared through a door behind her. The room was silent.
