What the Dragon Said Quotes

“Don’t you ever feel
like you’re just
a story someone is telling
about someone like you?”
― Catherynne M. Valente, What the Dragon Said: A Love Story

“I just want to be
the size of a galaxy
so I can eat all the stars and gas giants
without them noticing
and getting upset.
Is that so bad?
Isn't that
what love looks like?
Isn't that
what you want, too?”
― Catherynne M. Valente, What the Dragon Said: A Love Story

“Here’s something I bet you don’t know:
every time someone writes a story about a dragon
a real dragon dies.
Something about seeing
and being seen
something about mirrors
that old tune about how a photograph
can take your whole soul. At the end
of this poem
I’m going to go out like electricity
in an ice storm. I’ve made peace with it.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, What the Dragon Said: A Love Story

“It's not nihilism is there's really no point to anything.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, What the Dragon Said: A Love Story
