Kindle Notes & Highlights
remember, to appreciate what we have, be reminded why we do what we do, we must experience the alternative. It is important to practice restraint in our gifts, for most are not as lucky as we.”
“Life favors no one,”
“One may be beautiful,” she began, “rich, poor, young, blessed with magic or not, a sinner or virtuous, and the gift of life is still given to us all, just as death comes for us all.”
“That no one is worthier of being given life than any other,”
“You or I may feel differently, but life certainly doesn’t care enough to change. A hero may die in squalor, a villain in wealth.”
“Yes. Life is made to move in one direction—forward,” continued Larkyra. “It is our souls that act as the winds guiding its course. Life can be given to all, but only our souls decide how we want to live.”
‘Why must I only like a thing that looks good on me? Can I not love it for being beautiful on the rest of the world?’”
“Steady hands thread finer needles,”
“Never underestimate the tools the lost gods have given you,” said Niya. “Beauty included. Women must use all their advantages to their advantage. You’d be surprised what information can be gained by a simple smile and some exposed décolletage.”
“The propriety of something should have no bearing on its value. In fact, most improper topics contain more important conversations than proper ones.”
“The road to anything truly worth having is often steep, but think of the view when you get there.”
How could the simple act of stringing certain words together change the very shape of a soul? For that was the only way Larkyra could describe what was happening inside her. Her soul was changing, expanding to something new and hopeful and devoid of grief.
