Don't let him upset you, Niko told the four softly. He's old and he's frightened. You're as old as him, and you aren't scared of us, Briar pointed out. Niko glared at him. Thank you so much, he retorted waspishly.

I want to marry her, when I grow up to be a man.
Tamora Pierce
Never break a promise to an animal. They're like babies—they won't understand.
Tamora Pierce
What people tell me they take away from my books is that they can shape their lives, they can achieve their own dreams. And certainly that's what I want them to take away.

I am not wise, but I can always learn.
Tamora Pierce
When it was her own doing, she was always tempted to skip a day, or just glance down, then get back to the ground. Kel had to force herself to keep her vow.

If I were useful, you wouldn't know it was me.

Once she was certain, she didn't waiver. I had to make her stop for water or a bite to eat. She obeyed, but she was restless. As clear as if she spoke to me, she was saying, Very well, I know you want to keep my strength up, but scent fades, you know! And I'd say, I know, girl, buy you're what I have and I'm going to take care of you.

We live in a dark time. Books are as dark as what is available to teenagers through the media every day.
Tamora Pierce
Waves are the voices of tides. Tides are life.
Tamora Pierce
She rides as a man, goes unveiled as a man, fights as a man. Let her prove herself worthy as a man, worthy of her weapons and of our friendship.
Tamora Pierce
After I recovered from 'Lioness', I wanted to write something about animals because I really like mythical creatures, especially dragons. At 12, I was one of those semi-recluses who did better with animals than people. Out of that, came the character, Daine, who could communicate with animals.
Tamora Pierce
free time is an illusion. It's what you get when you die and the gods reward you for a life spent working from dawn until midnight.

Why does this mean so much to you, Jon? The Prince turned. Because he's my friend. Because I always know where he stands, and where I stand with him. Because I think he'd die for me and--and I think I'd die for him. Is that enough?
Tamora Pierce
I love meeting fans. They're always fun, they always have good things to say, smart questions to ask, and plenty of ideas for me to explore in the future.
Tamora Pierce
And if they don't believe us, I can give them the ghost eyes, you can go all big and threatening, Farmer can do his cracknob simpleton, and my lady can don her nobleness. We'll do all right.
Tamora Pierce
You know something? There are sandstorms that strip man and horse and bury them — I've seen them. I saw bones piled higher than my head for the folly of a bad king and those who wanted his throne. I lived through a blizzard that froze every other living creature solid. Against those things, you're only a man. I can deal with you.
