Whispers of the Walker Quotes

“Think about it! This angel just shows up one day. It gives him the power to communicate with the spirits. It sends him visions that lead him to buy a former Durupinen property, and then instructs him on exactly how to turn his purchase into a Summoning Circle. It tells him just enough of what the spirits are saying to keep the money coming, but not enough to clue him in to how unhappy the spirits are.”
― E.E. Holmes, Whispers of the Walker

“The lines blurred so easily here, an overlapping of realms as natural as the meeting of the ocean and the shore.”
― E.E. Holmes, Whispers of the Walker

“His chest expanded over and over again, as though the adulation of the crowd were oxygen.”
― E.E. Holmes, Whispers of the Walker

“It represents a whole year of my life filled with nothing but days like that. We all have them. It’s called being human—and it’s allowed, you know.”
― E.E. Holmes, Whispers of the Walker

“The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
’Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptered sway.
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute to God Himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God’s
When mercy seasons justice.” —William Shakespeare “The Merchant of Venice”
