Nixies Quotes

“There are hobs born with lined faces like tiny, hairless cats and smooth-limbed nixies whose true age shows only in their ancient eyes.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“Bluebells rose misty from the ground. Angus reined to a stop, with a door between the worlds in front of them, a stone bridge that formed a half circle above a deep running stream. He would not cross over now, not until he held Anett firmly on the saddle before him.
On the stream's far side lay Faerie, and the trees were older and thicker, wise with lichens. An owl hovered on silent wings. Down in the water, he saw a flash of white legs, a swirl of long green hair, the water nixies that lived beneath the bridge.”
― Kathleen Schwab, Queenswood
