Dance for the Dead Quotes

“The women sang the Ohgiwe and danced together as the grandmothers had, for the brave, and the unselfish, for the protectors.”
― Thomas Perry, Dance for the Dead

“The Old People believed that the place to obtain secret information was in dreams. Sometimes a dream would be an expression of an unconscious desire of the soul, and at other times a message planted there by a guardian spirit. Those were two ways of saying the same thing. If there were such a force as the supernatural, then the soul and the guardian both would be supernatural. If there were no such force, then the soul was the psyche, and the guardian spirit was just the lonely mind’s imaginary friend.”
― Thomas Perry, Dance for the Dead
