“You once told me that the human eye is god’s loneliest creation. How much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn’t even know there’s another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”

“Have you ever been charged by an elk, Sibling Dex?

“I do not mourn the loss of my sister because she will always be with me, in my heart," she says.
"I am, however, rather annoyed that my Tara has left me to suffer you lot alone. I do not see as well without her. I do not hear as well without her, I do not feel as well without her. I would be better off without a hand or a leg than without my sis-ter. Then at, least she would be here to mock my appearance and claim to be the pretty one for a change. We have all lost our Tara, but I have lost a part of myself as well.”
