Quote by Cherie Dimaline

“An animal that acted out of character was an animal you should avoid, like the bear. It was fear and confusion that had made it attack the people. Things like sickness or fear or greed made an animal act that way, and you did not want any part of it. It was impossible to know how to prepare when the next movements were not predictable.”

How much better you are than the soft kings who came before, who sat this throne and did nothing but drink wine and write poetry."
