Quotes by Alison Goodman
Yet what I had learned is that love is a leap of faith. A leap that not only takes your towards the person you love but also towards the truth of yourself. Whom you love and how you love them will tell you more about yourself than anything else in this world.
How could I explain that it was not all playacting? That I felt more of the male spirit within me than the female – a fierceness that whittled me down to a sharpened spear of ambition. And as a boy, I was applauded, not punished, for such raw energy. It was not beaten out of me for my own good, or worn away by women’s chores.
Never turn yer back on the sea, and remember what’s hidden beneath her is always more deadly than what’s in plain sight.
History does not care about the suffering of the individual. Only the outcome of their struggles. -P 462 Master Tozay to Eona.
