“Humans. You beat yourselves up for failure and you beat yourselves up almost as bad for success.”
― T. Kingfisher, Minor Mage

“For the falling star and the rising ape to meet, the former must first be debased. No myth can remain terrifying when you've seen it broken and beaten, rendered as toothless as an old crone.”
― Cassandra Khaw, The Salt Grows Heavy

“But my kind do not die until we are killed or until we relent to be consumed. I have forever. I will make this right again.”
― Cassandra Khaw, The Salt Grows Heavy

“I read somewhere,” says my plague doctor, “that there is power to your kind’s names, isn’t there? Or was it in your voices? I can’t remember. Not right now. But there was a reason your husband sliced out your tongue, was there not? He was afraid, one way or another, of the voice that beats in your lungs, your hurricane scream. You frightened him. How men fear things that can’t be quieted.”
