“My older sister has entire kingdoms inside of her, and some of them are only accessible at certain seasons, in certain kinds of weather.

You have to ask the right question, throw the right rope bridge, to get there-and then bolt across the chasm between you, before your bridge collapses.”
― Karen Russell, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves

“Stupid, Stupid Rat Creatures!”
― Jeff Smith, Bone, Vol. 2: The Great Cow Race
