Quote by Marie Rutkoski

“I like to wear a man’s clothes and I like that it startles people, and then even if I hate dresses I enjoy wearing one to show you that when you thought I was one thing and changed your mind you must now change it again. I like disappearing and showing up when I am least expected. I like pretending. Sometimes I forget myself, and fall for my own game.”

“She drove into the inner bailey and saw the sight she had tried to envision on the way here. But nothing had prepared her for this.

The only thing she regretted was that she hadn't been given the opportunity to oil them down.”
