5 " Knowing to whom she owed the new warmth, Alanna tried to thank Mari Fahrar. The old woman brushed her words aside. “All things change,” she told Alanna frankly. “It does not hurt men to know women have power, too.” Alanna had to laugh.

14 " Have you ever noticed that when you try to deny some part of yourself, things fall out so you need that part more than any other? "
