“First maid:
If I was a princess, with silver and gold,
And loved by a hero, I'd never grow old:
Oh, if a young hero came a-marrying me,
I'd always be beautiful, happy, and free!

Chorus:
Then sail, my fine lady, on the billowing wave -
The water below is as dark as the grave,
And maybe you'll sink in your little blue boat -
It's hope, and hope only, that keeps us afloat.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”
― Anatole France

“I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still.”
― V.E. Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic

“You hold no horrors for me”
― Maria Dahvana Headley, Magonia
