The Knight and the Moth (The Stonewater Kingdom, #1)

by Rachel Gillig

To tell a story is in some part to tell a lie, isn’t it?

“You don’t have to be good, or useful, for someone to care about you.”

It is easier, swearing ourselves to someone else’s cause than to sit with who we are without one.”

People who love you for your usefulness don’t love you at all.”

“It’s hard to see who I am when I am lost in what’s expected of me.”

And no one says they need recognition or praise or love, but we all hunger for it. We all want to be special.”
