“We thought too much.
Because while hatred is a fire only man feels, he does not hate the beast that comes in the night. Mankind fears it, fights it, drives it off, but he does not hate it. No one hates the bear, he wolf. They don't hate the wind or the snow. They don't hate the death.
They hate each other.”
― Meagan Spooner, Hunted

“I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of the universe.”

“She wept because she did not know what she wanted, and because she wanted everything.”

― Meagan Spooner, Hunted
