Quote by Tamora Pierce

“It isn't just we humans and the big animals who have their own gods. The great things of this world--rivers, mountains, lakes, forests--have their own gods as well. The very large ones have more than one god. Old Zekoi is one, because the rivers and streams that come to him have their own gods. If you deal with one god--as you now have--you will see others. Treat them with respect if they come to you. Most will not say as much, but they are often called to battle against Uusoae, the Queen of Chaos. Our tribute, prayers, and respect give them strength to keep fighting, somehow.”

“People don’t stick needles in their arms and pump themselves full of mind-erasing drugs for no reason, after all. And the thing Rayya had always loved about heroin was the way it eliminated her from consciousness—how it allowed her to discard her entire identity, as if her “self” were some heavy old overcoat she didn’t need to wear anymore and could just throw to the floor in a crumpled heap. The only problem with heroin was that you had to come back from the high. You had to wake up, stand up, put the overcoat back on. That had always been heartbreaking for her.”

“قال أبو حازم: إذا كنت تطلب من الدنيا ما يكفيك فأدنى ما فيها يكفيك و إن كنت تطلب ما يغنيك و لا يغنيك ما يكفيك فليس فيها ما يغنيك If you seek in this world what suffices you then the least of this world will suffice you and if you seek for what will fulfil you and you can't be fulfilled by what suffices you then nothing in this world will fulfill you.”
