“For the word is quick and powerful
Sharper than any two-edged sword
Piercing even to the dividing asunder
Of soul and spirit
Of joints and marrow
It is a discerner of the thoughts
And intents of the heart”
― Amy Harmon, The Bird and the Sword

“I would become a real lark. A little bird. And I would fly away. I would make my nest high in a tree, and I would sing. Sing and fly. If I were a real bird people would lose the ability to disappoint me. I wouldn’t consider them at all. I would have only four little words in my head. Sleep, eat, fly, sing. And that would be enough for me.”
― Amy Harmon, The Bird and the Sword

“Love betrayed has an entirely different sound from hatred outright.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Broken Kingdoms

“Words can be terrible when the truth is unwelcome.”
― Amy Harmon, The Bird and the Sword
