“People are prejudiced because they do not know we are all small parts of the same spirit. The spirit is in everyone and in all things--the mountains, the sea, the birds and the fish. It does not matter where someone was born or what they look like or what language they speak. They are us and we are them.”
― William Andrews, The Spirit of the Dragon

“...everyone has history. Just because we're not always happy with what's true doesn't mean we shouldn't know it. It's how we learn. It's how we do better in the future." - The Book of Lost Friends”

“All of these things had been stored away for her to pass along someday, relics to be carried up the branches of the family tree. But the family tree stopped growing long ago, its canopy thinned and frayed, not a single sap springing from the old rotting trunk. Some trees aren't meant to sprout tender new branches, but to stand stoically on the forest floor, silently decaying.”
― Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures

“I see Death now as Baldoin, a wild and untamable thing, not a specter to be feared, not a mysterious enemy, but a piece of nature older than stones. Death was never the foe.

Fear is the foe. Hatred is the foe. Ignorance is the foe.”
― Elizabeth DeLozier, Eleanore of Avignon
