Karen Healey
“It's the shape of the stories that matters, the way belief forms around it. The story has real weight', He pointed at himself. 'Patupaiarehe look like monsters in some stories, but they're beautiful in a lot. I guess people believed more in the beautiful version. And the ideal of beauty changes. If I'd been born two hundred years ago, I bet I wouldn't look like this. The stories shaped me. They shape everyone, inside and out, but me more than most, because I'm magic.”
Karen Healey, Guardian of the Dead

“Take no heed of good looks , but rather of callused hand.
Old Maori saying: Choose a husband for his work, not his appearance.”
Toni Polancy, Hawaii in Love
