“Why are you so beautiful, do you think? So hungry? So able to bend the wills of those around you? You are like the death flowers that grow rampant in your wake: lovely to look at, intoxicating even, but get too close and you will soon learn that there is something rank beneath. That’s what beauty often is, in nature. A warning. A disguise.”
― Krystal Sutherland, House of Hollow

“Typical Foster, always knocking guys off their feet.”
― Shannon Messenger, Nightfall

“Yes, intellectuals and scholar are paid to think deep thoughts—but those thoughts are often owned by others.”

“I was the ice on the river. The snow clinging onto the mountainside.”
― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep
