“When I was a girl in Blundermeecen we wondered always if we would see each other again. Each day was uncertain. So, to say good-bye to someone was uncertain, too. Would you see them again? Who could say? Blundermeecen was a place of dark secrets, unmarked graves, terrible curses. Trolls were everywhere! So we said good-bye to each other the best way we could.

― Kate DiCamillo, Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures

― Kathryn Wesley, The 10th Kingdom

“Do not raise your children the way [your] parents raised you, they were born for a different time.”
