The Puppeteer (Harrow Faire, #2)

by Kathryn Ann Kingsley

We are born into a life that is chosen for us by the product of our context. How much money is at our disposal? Do we have shelter? Do we have a Family to love us? Are we born into a country that hates us for the color of our skin or for which God we worship, or are we meant to become a king? These things are chosen for us and declared at the start.

Hate your cage. Find another. Build it with your own bare hands if you must—but understand that it is a cage all the same. Embrace it. Fashion it with pride. Make it your home. There is no such thing as freedom for our species. Take these words to your soul, and happiness will follow.
