Quotes by Lucy Strange (?)

“Stories are powerful things," she said quietly. "And sometimes we have to be very brave to tell them.”

“Even when the moon is just a thin white crescent, the rest of the moon is still there, in shadow. It has not gone anywhere--we just can't see it. Look for the part of the moon that is hidden in shadow, Henrietta. Trust that it is there even when it can't be seen.”
― Lucy Strange, The Secret of Nightingale Wood

“Fluctuat nec mergitur."
"Is that Latin?"
"Yes. It's the motto of Paris--something like, Tossed but not sunk. The French translate it a bit more prettily--She is tossed by the waves but she does not sink." Then he looked at me. "We've all been tossed by the waves, haven't we, little 'un? The t-trick is not to sink...”
― Lucy Strange, The Secret of Nightingale Wood
