Robin McKinley
As I have said, you have no reason to trust me, and an excellent reason not to.
Robin McKinley
Sometimes it is better not to know. Sometimes when you do know you just fold up.
Robin McKinley
I like that: a little pressure on the understood boundaries of yourself. Sounded like something out of a self-awareness class, probably with yoga. See what kind of a pretzel you can tie yourself into and press on the understood... I was raving, if only to myself.
Robin McKinley
Betrayal would be a different sort of sick.
Robin McKinley
But the world turns, and even legends change and somewhere there is a border, and sometime, perhaps, someone will decide to cross it, however well guarded its thorns may be.
Robin McKinley
One doesn't generally look into mirrors when one is especially angry one has better things to do, like pace the floor or throw things.
Robin McKinley
Your attitude is perhaps a little unnecessarily rigorous, suggested Jack.
