“Stop longing. You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.”
Robin Hobb, Fool's Errand

Bridget Zinn
“Okay, that one's pretty good," Fred acknowledged, after she'd told him a particularly filthy joke. "But have you heard the one about the baker's wife?"
"No," Kyra said.
"Rumor has it, she married him for his buns." Fred burst out laughing.
Kyra groaned. "Okay, that was just bad.”
Bridget Zinn, Poison
