Shadow Scale (Seraphina, #2)

by Rachel Hartman

I would carry my home with me, out into the world, as I looked for others to bring into it.

However strenuously the world pulls us apart, however long the absence, we are not changed for being dashed upon the rocks. I knew you then, I know you now, I shall know you again when you come home.”

“Haven’t you always been more than yourself? Haven’t we all? We are none of us just one thing.”

The world is as it must be, and as it happens to be, and those are the same thing, connected and right, and you understand and love all of it, because you are all of it and all of it is you.”
