The Changeling Sea QUOTES

1 " Kir stood close to his father, watching. He seemed, Peri realized, finally becalmed; already he looked more like his mother, as if he were relinquishing his human experience. He found her looking at him wistfully; he gave her a sea-smile. She swallowed a briny taste of sadness in her throat. Already he was leaving her. "

― Patricia A. McKillip , The Changeling Sea

3 " It’s an odd thing, happiness. Some people take happiness from gold. Or black pearls. And some of us, far more fortunate, take their happiness from periwinkles. "

― Patricia A. McKillip , The Changeling Sea

5 " as if by tying a knot in a piece of string she was binding one stray piece of life to another, bridging by magic the confusing distances between things. "
