“If a man truly loves,....He does not consider the obstacles, the restrictions, the reasons why his choice may be flawed or impratical. He gives no heed to what others may think. His heart has no room for that, for it is filled to the brim with the unutterable truth of his feelings.”
― Juliet Marillier, Cybele's Secret

“Look at me! I'm big! I'm strong! I'm a superior example of froghood and capable of protecting us both!”
― E.D. Baker, The Frog Princess

“If a man has to say trust me it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you do without words.”
― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing

“But handsome is as handsome does, as we say in the Shire; and I daresay we shall all look much the same after lying for days in hedges and ditches.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
