1 " Why that was the stars, my little ones,' growled Kar, lifting his proud eyes to the endless heavens. 'For in the beginning, there was light. "
― David Clement-Davies , The Sight (The Sight, #1)
2 " You are not evil, Fell. You have just been robbed of love. Of light. "
3 " We cannot really change the past, Gart," Larka whispered kindly, "but perhaps we can change the way we see it. You must escape your history, as Morgra could not escape hers. That is the only way to truly conquer her. Otherwise it will go on forever. We can make a different future. If we have true courage. "
4 " know that without night there is no day; without lies, no truth;without despair,no hope. Beware above all of hate, but call to its opposite too. For all things have an opposite and, if you choose it, with will and care, you may turn one thing into its reflection. "
5 " ...at times, the greatest courage of all is to live. "
6 " Stones are raw, they blunt my paw,but words will never hurt me. "
7 " Fear is an instinct, like hunger or anger. We need it to help us survive, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. It lets us know whether we should fight or flee. "
8 " But life is not a legend or a story. Reality is far more precious than a story... "
9 " And, Kar, love is not a commandment, it is a need, as real as eating. "
10 " So let me give you a blessing. When everything around you seems conspiring to tear out your heart and your mind, or show you that there is nothing but power and survival, look up there, Kar, at the moon in the giant sky. Hold it as a truth, beyond what we are too blind or ignorant to see all around us. Hold it like love, Kar, and Remember me. "
11 " Wolves hate farewells,... "
12 " Brassa,' she whispered, 'what is the moon? Why does it grow in the sky?''Because the moon is the goddess Tor,' answered Brassa softly, smiling down at Larka, 'looking down on us all. As some say the fury of the sun is the hunter Fenris snarling at the Varg, so they say the moon is the wolf goddess, opening her eyes wider and wider and stroking the world with her kindness. "
13 " Men have always hated the wolf.""Why?" said the boy indignantly, suddenly looking very unhappy indeed."Maybe because they see something in the wolf that they hate and fear in themselves. Maybe because wolves take their sheep and goats, as if we shouldn't all share life's bounty. "
14 " Is there nothing,’ cried Larka bitterly, ‘nothing we can see in life that is too terrible? No horror we can see that will bring peace? "
15 " Freedom is a wild wolf’s birth right. "
16 " At times the greatest courage of all is to live. "
