Quotes by Jay Ishino  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You don’t need to live in isolation, and I want you to know you’re a part of something bigger than you or me. I know this sounds cliché as fuck, but we’re in this together.”
Jay Ishino, Blood Like Water

“She wasn’t a monster. Okay, she was a monster. But she was trying to not be such a dick.”
Jay Ishino, Blood Like Water

“He also loved hugs and puppies.”
Jay Ishino, Dead-Not-Dead

“I love you,' he whispered again, wonderingly, as he understood at last how a lifetime together with someone that you loved could seem like an eternity, and yet not be long enough.”
Joan D. Vinge, The Summer Queen

“Real power is control. Knowing that you can do anything...and not doing it only because you can.”
Joan D. Vinge, The Snow Queen

“I am only a cup that knowledge holds. It does not to knowledge matter how poor the cup is. It is the wisdom of those who drink of me that me wise makes. Fools make a sibyl foolish, wherever she is.”
Joan D. Vinge, The Snow Queen

“It doesn't matter. I'm not asking forever of you...just let me love you now.”
Joan D. Vinge, The Snow Queen

“My gods or your gods, who know which are stronger?' That's why we honor them all - just in case. There are more cultures even than Gods in the Eight Worlds, and among them you'll find people who are willing to kill you, or each other, over any difference in belief or lifestyle or physical appearance you can imagine - and some you can't. They all think they're right. There's no Truth, Tammis, only differences of opinion.”
Joan D. Vinge, The Summer Queen
