Women aren’t usually consulted on wars. We send our husbands and brothers and sweethearts to do the dying, hold the pieces together while they’re gone, then pick up what’s left when they come home—if they come home—but we’re seldom asked what we think.
The Echo of Old Books, Barbara Davis

Honor without compassion was meaningless. Duty without love was nothing. War without the purpose of peace was just empty bloodshed.

We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read.

“Life is too precious for regret,” he told her. “Remorse and forgiveness are important, yes, but not regrets. Because in the end, we affect each other in unforeseen ways. No one would have chosen the path you have walked. But if it had not been for all the misunderstandings, all the suffering, and yes, the betrayals, we would not be sitting here today.”
Traitor's Masque: The Andari Chronicles (A Retelling of Cinderella), Kenley Davidson
