“You seemed, in your power, as free as man can be. But at what cost? What made you free? And I... I was made, moulded like clay, by the will of the women serving the Old Powers, or serving the men who made all services and ways and places, I no longer know which. Then I went free, with you, for a moment, and with Ogion. But it was not my freedom. Only it gave me a choice; and I chose. I chose to mould myself like clay to the use of a farm and a farmer and our children. I made myself a vessel. I know its shape. But not the clay. Life danced me. I know the dances. But I don't know who the dancer is.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu

― Sarah J. Maas, Tower of Dawn

“It's hard to separate anything from Trixie. Her friendship altered me, made me change shape in more ways than I ever knew was possible. Her voice is in my head. She's under my skin, a tattoo nobody else can see.”
