Wyvern Quotes

“For Keelie.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“The Sibyl Slant stared out of her slit eyes, the disc of her face showing no feeling at all. “Do you suppose you will look the same when you are an old woman as you do now? Most folk have three faces—the face they get when they’re children, the face they own when they’re grown, and the face they’ve earned when they’re old.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

“September smiled at her wonderful friends in all their colors and bright eyes and gentle ways. “You know, in Fairyland-Above they said that the underworld was full of devils and dragons. But it isn’t so at all! Folk are just folk, wherever you go, and it’s only a nasty sort of person who thinks a body’s a devil just because they come from another country and have different notions.”
― Catherynne M. Valente

“You're going to tell the Wyvern to follow fire safety rules?'
'We live in a forest. Fire safety benefits all of us.”
― Gabby Hutchinson Crouch

“First Law of Heroics.” The Monaciello grinned up at a confused September. “Someone has to tell you it’s impossible, or the Quest can’t go on.”
― Catherynne M. Valente

“The wyvern swooped, but it was not to rend and tear but rather to bank and stare with one curious beady eye at the bodies of the minds that had touched hers in a way that no human had dared to do for hundreds of years. Such a slender and delicate creature, the wyvern thought, and so young, only a child in her reckoning, and yet with so much power.”
― Duncan Harper, Witch of the Fall

“A Wyvern’s body is different from the body of a young girl in several major respects. First, it has wings, which most young girls do not (there are exceptions). Second, it has a very long, thick tail, which some young girls may have, but those who find themselves so lucky keep them well hidden. Let us just say, there is a reason some ladies wore bustles in times gone by! Third, it weighs about as much as a tugboat carrying several horses and at least one boulder. There are girls who weigh that much, but as a rule, they are likely to be frost giants. Do not trouble such folk with asking after the time or why their shoes do not fit so well.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

“No wyverns meant no fireweed. And no fireweed meant no cure.”
― Lyndsey Hall, Enchanted Flames

“You cannot make a mountain from a mouse. It is magic, not a miracle- Seraii”
― Erika Leigh Agnew, Dragonsown
