“But deep under the earth, where the corpse serpent gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, the tree of life, there are three spinners. Three women who make our fate. We might believe we make choices, but in truth our lives are in the spinners' fingers. They make our lives, and destiny is everything. The Danes know that, and even the Christians know it, Wyrd biõ ful araed, we Saxons say, fate is inexorable.”

“they told me my job description but i think i’ve got it wrong. they said i was supposed to man the lighthouse and save lost ships from going down.
but every time i saw the ships i forgot about the light. i dove headfirst into the sea and swam to save their life.
i drowned us both in the process; the ships never found the shore. i ended up helping less when i meant to be helping more.
i think when they told me to save people with my light, i mistook their words and tried to save people with my life.
i know i should have turned the light on, i know i should have taken their advice, but i don’t know what love is if it is not sacrifice.”
