The Needle in the Blood Quotes

“Agatha surveys the garden, its rows of crinkled spring cabbages and beanstalks entwining bowers of hawthorn and hazel. The rosemary is dotted with pale blue stars of blossom and chives nod heads of tousled purple. New sage leaves sprout silver green among the brittle, frost-browned remains of last year's growth. Lily of the valley, she thinks, that will be out in the cloister garden at Saint Justina's by now.”
― Sarah Bower, The Needle in the Blood

“We are fallen beings, my dear, and we experiment with all kinds of methods of redemption, but love is the only one. It is worth the pain to achieve it.”
― Sarah Bower, The Needle in the Blood
