Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal Quotes

“The flower is not evil because it blooms where it does. It simply exists. As do the fish in this pool, and the bird on the cliff, and you, and I.”
― Emily Rodda, Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal

“To mix the brew that wakes Death sleep
Fill one spread hand with silver deep.
In hungry pool moons raise their heads:
Pluck one and add the tears it sheds.
Stir slowly with new fighter's quill,
Three times, no more, and let it still.
Add venom from your greatest fear--
One drop--and then the truth is clear.”
― Emily Rodda, Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal
