Famous Brigid Kemmerer Quotes

“Happiness--is that what this is? The word doesn't feel strong enough. I forget, so often, that the most powerful moments in my life rarely end up being about my kingdom, or a war, or about even my subjects. I forget that the world can narrow down to two people, a moment of vulnerability and trust. To a moment of love that seems to outshine the rest.”

“Can I tell you one thing?” Melonhead says. I swallow. “Sure.” “One day isn’t your whole life, Murph.” He waits until I look at him. “A day is just a day.” I scoff and slouch in the chair. “So what are you saying? That people shouldn’t judge me on one mistake? Tell that to Judge Ororos.” He leans in against the table. “No, kid. I’m saying you shouldn’t judge yourself for it.”

“My entire life has taught me that wishes are good for nothing. I couldn't wish for my mother back. I couldn't wish for my father to be a better man. I couldn't wish for coins to save the forge. Now that I'm here in Emberfall, my wishes are just as pointless. I can't wish for Tycho to return, or for the scravers to be gone, or for anything to be easier. [...] Maybe it doesn't matter that my wishes won't come true. Maybe instead of wishing, it's time to start doing.”
