"When they killed him, Mother wouldn't hold her peace, so they slit her throat. I was stupid then, being only nine, and I fought to save them both. But the thorns held me tight.

Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him loose them all."
"The fittest person survives! The fighting man succeeds! He who Fights to Fit, will Survive to Succeed!"

The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them."

"In moments of great uncertainty on my travels, I have always felt that something is protecting me, that I will come to no harm."
"My father never told us how the stories worked. He didn't reveal the layers, the nuggets of information, the fragments of truth and fantasy. He didn't need to -- because, given the right conditions, the stories activated, sowing themselves."
