“You know that history is mostly happenstance. Accidents piled on top of mistakes, a series of dice rolled in dim rooms by careless hands. It is not a lesson, until we learn it. It is not a story, until we tell it. And every story serves someone.”

“Let us lie here forever. Let us be buried as wild things are, by tooth and claw and worm. Let the grasses grow up through the sockets of our eyes. Let them find us in seven years or seventy, and let their brows furrow, because they cannot tell my bones from yours.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting

“I am not sure which I prefer: To be taken for something I am not, or to fail at being what I am”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting

“A throne was a kind of weapon by which the world was cut into two halves: the dead and the kneeling.”
