Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘Well, it sounds like you gave her an adventure, at least. Ladies do enjoy that sort of thing.’
She was … excellent for a beginner.’
“Astrid glowered at me sidelong. ‘Such praise could make angels weep.’
‘What a world this would be, were it not held wholly and solely in the grip of stubborn old men.’
“All that stood between us now were two words. Strange how so much power, so much peril and promise, resides in so tiny a thing. Two little words can carry weight enough to see empires rise and kingdoms fall. Two little words can begin the end of everything. How many hearts have been made complete by words so small as I do? How many more have been shattered with a breath as tiny as It’s over?
Little sounds that reshape or unmake your entire world, like great spells of old to redraw the very lines by which you see yourself and all else about you. Two little words.
A life without books is a life not lived.’
Your past is stone, but your future is clay. And you decide the shape of the life you’ll make.’
