Quote by David Almond

“She finds tales everywhere, in grains of sand she picks up from the garden, in puffs of smoke that drift out from the chimneys of the village, in fragments of smooth timber or glass in the jetsam. She will ask them, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" And they will answer her in voices very like her own, but with new lilts and squeaks and splashes in them that show they are their own.”

“THAT Perseus always won. That's why my momhad named me after him, even if he was son of Zeus ann I was son of Posidon.

My mom hoped i would inherit Perseus's luck. Judging by how my life was going so far, i wasn't too optimistic.”
