From Whence The Rivers Run Quotes

“If a person sins when they kills another person, why is it that they do not sin when they kill a beast?” Idalina looked across at her, frowned slightly and then shrugged. “They do.” “But people do not speak of it as sin,” the girl persisted. “No,” Idalina said. “That is because people do not see themselves in the beasts as they do in other people. If they did, they would say that it is the same.”

“Idalina loved the river. It was the only constant thing she knew of, except for the high mountains. People lived and died and during their lives they altered the landscape with their houses and roads. Trees were planted and cut down. The herds came and went. Yet the river flowed still as it had flowed when she was a girl and when her mother and grandmother had been girls before her and through each generation to the beginning of time.”
