“My cheeks burned, and the creature in front of me laughed, a deep, dark sound, filled with mirth and a touch of madness.
This one was dangerous. My fae part told me to get as far away from it as possible, for this was what fae were before. This one was ancient, and he was playing with me.”
― The Book of Eden: The Keepers Series, Book Two

“Hearing his voice undid me. Silky smooth, a rumble in the darkness. It coated me, washing over me until I was drowning in it. It was a plea, a prayer, and a question, all wrapped into one. Emotion surged through me like a tornado, and suddenly I was compelled by the need to touch him, to know that he was real.”

“Everyone lifted their glass. There was a tumbling of words in many languages. As we drank, the great gulfs between us became irrelevant. We focused on the one thing we shared - a truth that has united many men before us, and would unite many more when we were gone.
We drank to the uncertainty of it all, to the fragility that was life, the delicate balance of good versus evil. We drank to the certainty that freedom from tyranny and oppression was all that truly mattered. We drank to the deep, human need to live and let live, and to our shared commitment to stamp out anything that would prevent us from doing so.”

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”

“Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.”
