“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.

― Ava Reid, The Wolf and the Woodsman

“Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

“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
