Quote by Kristin Cashore

“Madlen came to sit beside her on the bed. "Lady Queen," she said with her own particular brand of rough gentleness. "It is not the job of the child to protect her mother. It's the mother's job to protect the child. By allowing your mother to protect you, you gave her a gift. Do you understand me?”

“Live in the stretch. Extending your limbs out, In a burn, in a hollow trespass, Tremoring, a second away from a shout, And keep going after it hurts-- the animal won't. Live in the stretch. It is the only way to know anything in the dark. It is the only way to feel on fire. The animals eat well, but we can pass the mark. And if beavers land on the moon, this poem has expired.”

“But in his darkest hour, when it seemed he'd finally met his match, Superman returned. Some felt there was no truth or justice to a story where a man could come back from the dead. There'd only been one other bestseller in history to use that plot successfully. But the willful use of the impossible is exactly what comic book stories are for... to remind us that when the real world is too much to take, there's always a place we can go... where man, or Superman, can escape anything set against him.”
