Crass Casualty (The Victoria da Vinci novels) Quotes

“Whatever. There is a natural order to things, a hierarchy. And no less so in man. For man may be the master of nature, but he is also part of it. Every living thing, from the greatest of all men to the lowliest earthworm has its place. It is very important that the groundhog not think he is tiger, nor a sparrow believe he is a hawk. A frog would not make a very good shark, would it? One must know their place in the world" ~ Baroness von Berge, Greta Greaves of Austria”
― Austin Scott Collins, Crass Casualty (The Victoria da Vinci novels)

“Well, for instance, why does everything always have to be written from the point of view of a human being? Why not write from the point of view of a cat? Or a tree?”
― Austin Scott Collins, Crass Casualty (The Victoria da Vinci novels)
