Gretchen McCulloch
“...despite the fact that it's technically written in Old English rather than Old Icelandic, Icelanders would have an easier time learning to read Beowulf than would modern English speakers.”
Gretchen McCulloch

Tamsyn Muir
“Two is for discipline, heedless of trial;
Three for the gleam of a jewel or a smile;
Four for fidelity, facing ahead;
Five for tradition and debts to the dead;
Six for the truth over solace in lies;
Seven for beauty that blossoms and dies;
Eight for salvation no matter the cost;
Nine for the Tomb, and for all that was lost.”
Tamsyn Muir, Gideon the Ninth

Melvin Konner
“The black widow spider and the praying mantis have found a way to have their males and eat them, too.”
Melvin Konner, Women After All: Sex, Evolution, and the End of Male Supremacy

Tamsyn Muir
“Unexpectedly, this did not kill her; and what did not kill her made her curious.”
Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth

Tamsyn Muir
“There was so much I should have told you. I just didn't have time. I didn't know. I didn't know I'd have to say: A sword doesn't hold an edge on its own, you sack of Ninth House garbage. I didn't know I'd have to say, if you dip a sword into melty bone, the metal gets more pitted than an iron mine, you cross-patched necromantic shit.

I think the main thing I should have said was, You sawed open your skull rather than be beholden to someone. You turned your brain into soup to escape anything less than 100 percent freedom. You put me in a box and buried me rather than give up your own goddamned agenda.

Harrowhark, I gave you my whole life and you didn't even want it.


Actually, scratch that, the main thing I should have said was, SQUATS ARE A START, OR A COUPLE OF STAR JUMPS, THEY'RE NOT DIFFICULT.”
Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth
