“I love boats. Boats are great. You can get all kinds of places and meet all kinds of interesting people, and you never know if they're going to try to eat you or worship you.”
Ursula Vernon, Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew
“It's always nice to have someplace to come home to. At best, it's a place where you can rest and be refreshed by familiar surroundings and well-loved people. At worst, at least you remember why you wanted to go away on adventures in the first place.”
Ursula Vernon, Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew
“A true adventurer needs a keen wit, a stout heart, and a strong bladder. Though luck can stand in for the wit and the heart, but I have never yet found a good substitute for the bladder.”
Ursula Vernon, Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew
“Being in charge isn't much fun. Sure you can sleep in late, but there are so many things to worry about all the time. The best plan for any sensible adventurer is to sweep in, take the throne, live like a king for a few weeks and then sneak out in the middle of the night before people start asking unpleasant questions about road maintenance and tax relief.”
