Quote by Rachel Hartman

“I wish I could build you a cage, little bird, or a beautiful tower, to keep you safe from the corrupt, cynical world. You don’t know how precious it is to be naive and innocent. I only want to protect you, so you can sing and be free like the golden bird you were born to be.”

“Amongst the obvious, yes, you are shorter than me, but not all. Ever since I first saw you, you reminded me of a bird trying to break free from a cage. Yet, how can a Little Bird break free when she doesn't have the tools or means to do so? I knew from the start you were guarded. You could do whatever you wanted physically, and it wouldn’t affect you, but emotionally was an entirely different story. Birds are often frightened at the first approach of someone new or new experiences, even if that person was simply trying to help or aid in opening that cage door. It’s up to the bird to fly out of there and into freedom."-Hyder”
