“Oh,' she said, too bone-weary to pretend: 'I would far rather that I love you as I saw yesterday I do than that I had gone on worshiping you as I did not long since.' And she turned away hastily, and did not see that Little John would reach out to her; and half-running, went to Tuck's cottage, where she could pull on her half-dry clothes, and become a proper outlaw again. At least, she thought, fighting back tears, like this I am Cecil, with a place among friends, and a task to do. I am someone. I wonder if perhaps if I am no longer Cecil, I am no one at all.” IfsLittlesLongSaidRunningFightingHalfWonderGoneSawsLove YouTearsClothesTasksBonesYesterdayDryReach OutWearyOutlawCottagesFighting Back Author:Robin McKinley
“So, what do you do when you know you have two days to live? Eat an entire Bitter Chocolate Death cake all by myself. Reread my favorite novel. Buy eight dozen roses from the best florist in town--the super expensive ones, the ones that smell like roses rather than merely looking like them--and put them all over my apartment. Take a good long look at everyone I love.” KnowsLooksLongTwoNovelTownsRoseMy FavoriteEightSmellBitterExpensiveChocolateCakeDozenApartmentTwo DaysGood Long Author:Robin McKinley

But they rarely stand still long enough for me to see what and who they are, before they hurtle away again. And so I spend a lot of time running after them, like a thrown rider after an escaped horse, saying 'Wait for me! Wait for me!' and waving my notebook in the air.” WritingLongStillsBookEnoughHappensRunningWaitingAirHorseThrownThroatNotebookBlastRidersHowlWait For Me Author:Robin McKinley
