The Winter King Quotes

“Time was a fickle, haughty and punishing entity. Humans thought it to be a constant in the universe. Even as they came to realization after realization that space was not the constant they thought it to be – even as they discovered and un-discovered black holes and dark matter and anti-matter, they continued to believe that time was as they’d always thought it was. But nothing could be farther from the truth. Mortals didn’t realize that when time “seemed to slow down” in the most boring or miserable moments, it was because time had done exactly that. They didn’t know that when it appeared to “fly when you’re having fun,” it was because time had sped up for exactly that reason. Petty and cruel as the day was long. That was time.”

“And for Neve, left to wander alone and afraid and freezing because she refused to submit.”
― Heather Killough-Walden, The Winter King
