― Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper's Daughter

“For it is a deep and human truth that most souls upon the earth are not at ease unless they find themselves safe in the hands of a force far greater than themselves.”

“How do I find words to speak to one who is not of my own world? How do I find thoughts to still my own seething mind when I try to fathom what it was I witnessed last night? You were there and then you were not. As if you had melted away with the night, the dawn light extinguishing your own. In truth, I cannot capture here how altered I am by having known you. All I know is that the greater part of that alteration is not brought about by your magical disappearance but by your more magical presence. Which I hope with all my heart to feel again, and in that hope I pen these inadequate lines, that you may know”
― Paula Brackston, The Little Shop of Found Things
