“It’s not always the truth that survives, but the stories we wish to believe. The legends lie. They smooth over imperfections to tell a good tale, or to instruct us how we should behave, or to assign glory to victors and shame those who falter. Perhaps there were some in Sparta who embodied those myths. Perhaps. But how we are remembered is less important than what we do now.”
― Alexandra Bracken, Lore

“The people with the sharpest edges sometimes hid the deepest wounds”

“No matter my origins, there is worth in what I am.”

“Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives--or to find strength in a very long one.”
