“I think of Sean folded low over the red stallion, riding bareback at the top of the cliffs. Of the easy way they had with each other when I met him to look at the uisce mare. I think, even, of the way Sean looked when he stood on the bloody festival rock and said his name, and then Corr's, like it was just one fact after the other. Of the way he said "the sky and the sand and the sea and Corr" to me. And I feel a bite of unfairness, because in everything but name, it seems to me that Sean Kendrick already owns Corr.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Scorpio Races

“...this blessing of loneliness was not really loneliness. Real loneliness was something unendurable.

― Elizabeth Goudge, The Scent of Water
