Red Rowan Quotes

“Fess, lad, ‘tis just a word, like any other word I might use. The filthiness of it is in people’s minds.” Even his Gran said that a word that described something so beautiful and natural couldn’t be so very wrong. You might as well say ‘sky’ and ‘tree’ were wrong. Mind you, she also said that using it too often showed a poor vocabulary and laziness, and she certainly didn’t encourage either of those.”
― Helen Gosney, Red Rowan: Book 1: Forester's son

“Rowan kept a straight face though he was laughing inside. You old windbag, he thought. Just because I don’t play your stupid little games doesn’t mean that I don’t know how to.”
― Helen Gosney, Red Rowan: Book 1: Forester's son
