Naming the Bones QUOTES

1 " I turned into Little Red Riding Hood. I made a cake, packed it up and went through the forest until I met the wolves. That's something the story got wrong, wolves don't travel solo, they hunt in packs. "

2 " It's always struck me as funny that guys with scars get a reputation for being hard. It's the ones that cut them you should be looking out for, right? "

― Louise Welsh , Naming the Bones

3 " Now here he was, drunk and sober at the same time. Each half of him disgusted at the other. "

4 " How long would it be before the elements toppled these small structures as they had already toppled the broch and the castle? Would future archaeologists dig here, or had records grown so precise every aspect of the recent past would be charted and ready for those who wanted to know? Maybe, soon enough, there would be no one left, no world to chronicle and argue over. All things must end, why not this too? The thought almost had the power to cheer him. "
