" i wasnt frightened of it. The gray death wasn't a monster or a spider i could see and shiver over. It was invisible. If I caught it would be somewhere within me and while the outside world was full of danger I knew my interior I was certain I could oust an intruder there. "

― Gail Carson Levine , The Two Princesses of Bamarre (The Two Princesses of Bamarre, #1)
