The Crone of Solstice Flames Quotes

“you could say you're a strong woman, with a great past experience, with whole new opportunities on your horizon, and in the privileged position where you can take a holiday and relax. Think about what you really want to do. And then, when the time is right, and the stars align, you'll be in the right position to do it. Don't let anyone else tell the story for you. It’s your story. You get to decide. This is your time. One of the great things about getting older is that you no longer have to be a good daughter, or fulfil the expectations that everyone had for you when you were younger. You get to decide your own expectations, on your own terms. You get to do whatever you like, if you can afford it.”

“Less and less sense, less respect, and certainly less wisdom seemed to prevail among humans as their technology and supposed intellect developed.”
