“The church smells of incense and floor polish this morning the way it always does, which is nice, but it’s the way the sun is passing through the stained glass that’s my favorite part. Especially the way it’s slanting into the window that belongs to St. Joan of Arc. I admire that she was a fighter, but I can’t help but wonder if being a French slut like Suzie LaPelt is why that kid really got turned into French toast, because I’m 100% positive Louise and the other gals in the parish wouldn’t mind throwing Daddy’s barmaid into a bonfire, either.”

“It is a careful, complex process, and one I doubt your mortal mind can grasp.” “Probably. Though this mortal mind did manage to solve Amarantha’s riddle—and destroy her.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“I’m glad to experience the world as I do rather than not at all. And as for others of my kind, they can accept me or not as they choose. I will not allow my own worth to be determined by them.”
― Michael R. Miller, Ascendant
