Yes Headwoman Azaze. But I never lie to Rosethorn. She, um, discourages it. Evvy and I have an understanding. She grabbed the teakettle and poured hot water into the mug. She tells me the truth, and I don't hang her in the first well we come to. It's a solution that works tolerably well for both of us.
Tamora Pierce
You turned into a hero when I wasn't watching.
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.
Tamora Pierce

Tamora Pierce
Not all nine-fingered girls have hatchets, she said in Tradertalk. Some of us just tried to have a conversation with a snapping turtle. (Sandry to Daja, referring to her conversation with Tris.)
Tamora Pierce
Haven’t you ever noticed that people who win say it’s because the gods know they are in the right, but if they lose, it wasn’t the gods who declared them wrong? Their opponent cheated, or their equipment was bad.
Tamora Pierce
Girl, boy or dancing bear, you're the finest page-the finest squire-to-be-at court. (Jon to Alanna)
Tamora Pierce
You are brave, kicking a chained prisoner. They must sing heroic ballads about you on winter nights! (Alanna)
Tamora Pierce
I am not wise, but I can always learn.
Tamora Pierce
Tris: I was reading. Sandry: You're always reading. The only way people can ever talk to you is to interrupt. Tris: Then maybe they shouldn't talk to me.
