Quote by Josephine Angelini

“She heard Rowan awake with a start before he reconciled himself to his surroundings. His back scraped across the trunk of the tree as he slid sideways--trying to see around the branch she was sitting on to get a look at her. "Are you awake?" he asked, his voice still rough from sleep. "Yeah." "Did you sleep at all?" "No." She heard him mumble something to himself and decided to cut him off before he could scold her again. "My butt did, though. Slept like a log all night." "Well, obviously, your butt has more sense than you do." "You're a funny man, Rowan whatever your last name is." "Fall." "I'd rather not." She managed to get a tiny chuckle out of him, which she considered a huge achievement. Rowan stood up on his branch, bringing his head level with Lily's, and started to untie her. His lips were still pursed in a near smile. "My name is Rowan Fall.”

“Lily opened her hand and looked at her three willstones. Rowan had been right. She was changed forever. Lily sat up and saw a glass of water on the bedside table. A tiny card was propped up against it. It said, THIRSTY? in bold uppercase letters. Lily realized that she'd never seen Rowan's handwriting before. She stared at it, sipping her water, memorizing every swoop and curve. She swung her legs out of bed and noticed that she'd somehow struggled out of his robe while she slept. Rowan had left a stack of clothes on the floor next to her, with its own accompanying card that read NAKED? Lily laughed quietly to herself...”

“Svijet obično ne sudi mladića po duševnih vrlinah, već po školskih svjedodžbah ili kašnje po većem ili manjem zvanju. Često klanjaju se ljudi plitkoj glavi jer je uvrštena u red javnog zvanja, često rugaju se umniku jer je "ništa", jer ne spada u koju od društvenih kasta. Osobito u malih okolnostih vidi se ovo pusto idolopoklonstvo. A takovo očito vrijeđanje umnih vrlina boli i čovjeka duhovita, ma se i ne povađao za ludilom svojega vijeka.”
