“For a moment I want to tell him that it’s not right, that Vilmötten is our hero, not theirs. But I think of the counts in their bear cloaks and feathered mantles, and of the king in his fingernail crown. You can’t hoard stories the way you hoard gold, despite what Virág would say. There’s nothing to stop anyone from taking the bits they like, and changing or erasing the rest, like a finger smudging over ink. Like shouts drowning out the sound of a vicious minster’s name.”
― Ava Reid, The Wolf and the Woodsman

“Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

“Shadows were largest just before sunset, but lost their power when night inevitably fell. For Shadows don't exist in the dark.”
― Melissa Blair, A Broken Blade

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
