“I have never cared for Castles
or a Crown that grips too tight,
Let the night sky be my starry roof
and the moon my only light,
My Heart was born a Hero,
my storm-bound sword won't rest,
I left the Harbour long ago
on a Never-ending Quest,
I am off to the horizon,
where the wild wind blows the foam,
Come get lost with me, love,
and the sea shall be our home!”
― How to Fight a Dragon’s Fury

“I’ll try, Aunt Evvie.”
“Yes—I know you will. Trying—that’s built into you, too.” Aunt Evvie
looked her over closely. “You were a fair child, and a likely child, although you
weren’t ever a lucky child. Well, luck is for fools. It’s all they have to hope for,
poor devils. It strikes me that you are still likely and fair, and that’s the
important thing. I think you’ll make out.”
