“Everyone thinks their world is the only one. A flea believes a dog is the world. A dog believes the kennel is the world. The huntsman thinks his country is the world. The king believes the globe is the world. The farther out you get, the wider you get, the higher you get, the more you see you have misunderstood the bounds of what is possible. Of what is right and wrong. Of what you can truly do. Perspective, Ronan Lynch.”

― Maggie Stiefvater, All the Crooked Saints

“You want me to trust you? Save her. Really save her. It’s going to mean telling her what you are. It will cost you emotionally."
"Did it cost you to save me?"
There was a long silence. The mist shimmered darkly in the trees. The rain sighed.
Bryde said finally, "You are the most expensive thing I have ever saved.”
