“If you did not indulge in fantasies, how else would you know if you were living an interesting life?”
Alethea Kontis, Enchanted

“Sometimes 'Hmm' is the wisest thing to say.”
Alethea Kontis, Enchanted

When sad she brings the thunder
And her tears, they bring the rain
When ill she feeds a poison
To us all to fell her pain
Her smiles they bring the sunshine
And the laughter and the wind
And the birds they go on singing
And the world is whole again.
"Smile, sweet Sunday," Wednesday whispered in her ear. "The birds need your love so they can lift their wings.

Alethea Kontis, Enchanted

“Your fey cousin here has the miraculous ability to hold his liquor--and mine, and yours, and the king's, and half the country's, I expect.”
Alethea Kontis, Enchanted

“If you did not indulge in fantasies, how else would you know if you were living an interesting life?”
Alethea Kontis, Enchanted

“Velius--so who is she? no wait, let me guess. skin of the finest porcelain. hair of the softest silk. a voice like birdsong, a smile like sunshine, and a mouth that would sate your brightest and darkest wishes
Rumbold-- You've m-met her?
Velius--oh yes, my friend. we all know her. we've all pursued her. some of us have even been lucky enough to have her. we've been drunk on her sin, become fools of her favor. she might have borne a different face each time, but her name was always the same. Trouble”
Alethea Kontis, Enchanted

“First time's a fluke; second time's a coincidence," said Velius.
"Third time's tradition," finished Erik.”
Alethea Kontis, Enchanted

“No," Wednesday agreed. "You have tortured with silence. You let her grieve for a soul she did not lose, mourn a heart that should not have broken, and berate herself for betraying the man she loves...with the man she loves. It can't be 'true' love without the truth, Rumbold.”
Alethea Kontis, Enchanted
