Gurgleyes Quotes

“Snixie gently cupped Crinket's face in her hands, her touch comforting. "You're not taking anything away. Instead, you're carrying a part of me, a part of her, with you. My mother believed in the greater good, in sacrifice, and in love. This is the greatest gift I can give, not just to you, but to the Glowforest. It's time for its power to be used for something even bigger.”

Not because I think you are infallible, but because I trust your heart to always choose what's right for the Glowforest.”
