The quotes game is one of my favorite things to do on the blog, and I think it might be time to do it again. I pick one significant quote from each of my novels, both released and unreleased, and then you, the dear reader, decide which quote is your favorite. Sound fun? Okay, let's get to it.
"Maybe if I practice a lot,
if I order my thoughts, I can learn to imagine better things. Maybe
in time I could imagine anything. What if nothing is impossible?" --Mary of the Aether
"The world just got a whole lot more dangerous tonight. Maybe it always was dangerous, but I didn’t know it." --Mary of Shadows
"I know who I want to
be. I want to help and heal, and I won’t let you or anyone else try to change
me. I saw what I can become, I saw it, right there by the side of the road." --Mary of Starlight
"I don’t care if anyone likes me, as long as I’m
not embarrassed ever again by my own feelings or my own behavior." --Mary of Cosmos
"Destiny, I want to lick your face for all your perfect
ways.” --Shadows of Tockland
"Open
doors are the best thing in the whole world. An open door means you can leave
something bad and maybe find something good." --Children of the Mechanism
"You cannot bury sickness under the ground and expect
it to stay there. It will make itself known eventually. It
will climb up out of its hole and demand to be seen." --Fading Man
"Your comfortable life is paid for with the taxes
of hard working villagers, so that one day, you might
provide just leadership for them.” --Bloodstone, Deep Water: Book One
"Until a few weeks ago, I thought the world was
normal. Then it all came crashing down, and I learned everyone is sick—depraved
and sick." --A Whisper in the Void, Deep Water: Book Two
"The
very thing that you took for granted will be your salvation. Never
forget it." --Garden of Dust and Thorns
"Why is it every
decision I make seems right one second before I make it and then completely
wrong and ridiculous one second after I’ve made it." --The Vale of Ghosts
There you go. For the sake of avoiding spoilers, I have not attributed the quotes to their various characters, but they each give you a sense of some important thematic element of each novel. Pick your favorite.
