“Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.”
― Terry Brooks, A Princess of Landover

― Terry Brooks, A Princess of Landover

“A cat never discusses his business with humans, not even Princesses. A cat never explains and never apologizes. A cat never alibis. You must accept a cat as it is and for what it is and not expect more than the pleasure of its company.”
― Terry Brooks, A Princess of Landover

“Niemand heeft het recht om een prinses van Landover te vertellen met wie ze moet trouwen. Zelfs mijn ouders niet. En zeker jij niet. Ik zal trouwen wanneer ik zover ben en niet eerder, en ik kies mijn man zelf. Ik weiger met de Vors te trouwen. Sterker nog, als Thom iets overkomt, zal ik ervoor zorgen dat je hoofd op je eigen poort wordt gespietst tot er niets anders over is dan de botten.”

He did so, on the mouth, a long kiss that caused Pinch, standing in the doorway, to gasp and mutter in dismay. She closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss. So sweet, so exciting.”

“It isn't a good idea to force young girls to marry," Stabo lectured, looking from one man to the other. “Marriage, in general, isn't a particularly desirable institution. It causes all sorts of trouble, from what I have observed over the centuries. In any case, a Princess shouldn't marry this young, the issue of the advisability of marriage aside. She should be free to grow up and spend time with more interesting creatures than prospective husbands. Dragons, for instance. We're much more interesting than you, Laphroig. Or you, Craswell. So be warned. If I hear any further attempts at forcing this girl to marry either one of you or anyone you know or even anyone I think you know, I will not be so lenient.”
