Juliet Marillier
You will find the way, daughter of the forest. Through grief and pain, through many trials, through betrayal and loss, your feet will walk a straight path.
Juliet Marillier
As for religious faith, a lack of it shouldn't stop us from doing good deeds for their own sake.
Juliet Marillier
There is no truth on this island of yours. Rather, there are as many truths as there are stars in the sky and every one of them different.
