Threadneedle (The Language of Magic, #1)

by Cari Thomas

‘Well, true fairy tales are not always kind or pleasant but neither is life and we must live it anyway. Stories must be lived too; only then can they be understood.’

‘Men are always so quick to slap a label on things. I attribute most of the problems of the world to that. They think they’re being clever, carving everything up, but all true wisdom is lost that way.’

Like darkness is the absence of light, fear is the absence of reason. You merely need to learn how to switch it off.’
