Innkeeper Quotes

“Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!”
― Neal A. Maxwell

“Now this was interesting. The innkeeper surmised that this pregnancy could have been out of wedlock, especially if the family were unwilling to take them in at such a crucial stage. But it was not of his business, and as long as he would get money out of the deal, he could not afford to have an opinion.”
― Emmanuel Onimisi, The Faces of Christmas

“Auntie Zee’s room was a wondrous kaleidoscope of color: scarfs and tapestries were draped over the walls, while mobiles made of prisms dangled from the ceiling. Gold, silver, and blue pillows were piled on the bed beneath a ruby-and-emerald-colored canopy. Multicolored rugs covered the honey-colored floor. Every surface was stacked with treasures: boxes carved from seashells; tiny sculptures of creatures that shouldn’t exist, like dragons and centaurs; little paintings that hung on the wall depicting worlds with impossibly high waterfalls, many moons, and castles. Coming inside, Calisa saw one etching of the labyrinth with its bone guards.
These were souvenirs of her travels. Or perhaps gifts from visiting travelers. She’d made her room a shrine to all the wonders that the nexus could bring. She loves this place.”

“Gently, Auntie Zee said, “I am a traveler cat.”
“A what?” Jack asked. Calisa was grateful to him for voicing the question. She had so many battering through her skull that it felt like she couldn’t speak.
“It is a type of witch. Very rare. I was born with the ability to open and close portals.”
A witch. “And the cat part of it?”
Now she was smiling more broadly. “It’s how a portal witch recovers her powers. I have to transform into a smaller body, specifically a cat. It allows the magic to replenish— there’s less energy required to keep a smaller body alive. As for why a cat… I suppose the universe has a sense of humor. Cats are known for always being on the wrong side of every door.”
