“Those yellow eyes had seen the thing Ruby hid, even from herself. And when two people see a thing, for better or worse, it becomes real.”
― Cynthia Bond, Ruby

“As Ephram waited for the pain, he saw Ruby as she used to be, the first time he'd seen her. The sweet little girl with long braids. The kind of pretty it hurt to look at, like candy on a sore tooth.”
― Cynthia Bond, Ruby

“Ruby saw the walls of her own soul, saw things sparkling there she had never thought to look upon. Pictures of women, old, ancient with eyes like eagles, hands with love burning. She saw Maggie. There were sparkling lights lining the walls, gemstones gleaming.”
― Cynthia Bond, Ruby

“Ephram took her hand, “But I’ll tell you what. I’m most interested in the woman you have yet to be.”O”
