The Seelie King Quotes

“In honor of – Every thought, Every wish, Every dream That keeps us sane In the madness of this reality That makes us seek The other, The different, The better – the magic…. So we don’t lose our ever-loving minds. “Chess is a fairytale….” – Savielly Tartakower”

“And it was perhaps this isolation Selene felt from other people, this sensitivity that set her apart, which had in fact drawn her closer to St. Michael.”
― Heather Killough-Walden, The Seelie King

“And if that wasn’t enough to set St. Michael apart from the rest of humanity, his affinity for the animals of Christ Church was. He seemed to understand them even better than Selene did. It was a similarity the two shared and that the rest of the world found both appealing and bizarre: “How sweet that she loves animals, but she sort of looks like a fool out there by herself talking to them. I’d love to be as loved by the animal kingdom as she apparently is, but I wouldn’t want anyone seeing me do it.” This was more or less humanity’s take on animal kindness. It was to be applauded – but from a distance, and only in books and movies and when it didn’t threaten the consumption of bacon. Otherwise, it was rather mushy, weak, and embarrassing.”
