Jo Walton

Quotes

• “Avan was as religious as the next young dragon with his way to make in the world—which is to say that he held many traditional beliefs which he had never paused to examine, attended church because it would have seemed strange not to, rarely paid much attention when he was there, and found piety out of the pulpit thoroughly misplaced.”

• “It was only now that they realized that there is nothing that can really be a preparation for death.”

• “All farms are much alike everywhere, and all wild places have their own beauty.”

• “I don’t need to be a radical to think that who a dragon is counts more than birth or wealth,” Selendra said, with what dignity she could. / “Why, that’s the very definition of a radical,” he retorted.

• “There is one law for rich and poor alike, which prevents them equally from stealing bread and sleeping under bridges.”
