Biting the Sun (Four-BEE, #1-2) QUOTES

1 " It gets cold in the desert at night, particularly up in the mountains; the stars hammer on the rock and strike frost. "

― Tanith Lee , Biting the Sun (Four-BEE, #1-2)

2 " Thinta flew safely, and I realized how much I preferred being with Hergal and feeling the blood drain out of my head with fright. Actually when I’m with Hergal I always realize how I prefer being with Thinta and not feeling the blood drain out of my head with fright. "

3 " Below, the ​land, the pale dunes, the black mountains shaped like spears, like towers, like fortresses. On the horizon one volcano pouring its crimson plume into the air, fierce, uncompromising, and real. A wild land, a cruel land, a land to catch you out, bury you in sandstorm, broil you under the sun, freeze you under the stars, dehydrate and suffocate you in the heat with its low oxygen count. A land to thrill and humble you in that single unit after the rains, when all the barren sand is bright with green, and ferns spring toward the mountains and cover their flanks like a rolling ancient sea. "

4 " Assule went on and on about the civilization that had been here first. It could have been very interesting if he hadn’t managed to make it so boring. I don’t know how he did it, actually. Some latent talent for sending everyone droad, I suppose. "

5 " I began to feel lighthearted. Don't ever do that; it tempts some dark and evil force abroad in the universe. "
