Jacqueline Carey Quotes

It’s funny, how one can look back on a sorrow one thought one might well die of at the time, and know that one had not yet reckoned the tenth part of true grief Picture Quote #1

We may not have demon fathers dangling offers of infernal power before us, but everyone understands what it means to struggle with temptation or resist the urge to give in to our baser natures Picture Quote #1

Surely if we knew what bitterness fate held in store, we would shrink back in fear and let the cup of life pass us by untasted Picture Quote #1

There are those who do not hold that there is any innate goodness to mankind. To them I say, had you lived my life, you would not believe it. I have known the depths to which mortals are capable of descending, and I have seen the heights. I have seen how kindness and compassion may grow in the unlikeliest of places, as the mountain flower forces its way through the stern rock Picture Quote #1

It’s the same questions we ask of our existence, and the answer is always the same. The mystery lies not in the question nor the answer, but in the asking and answering themselves, over and over again, and the end is engendered in the beginning Picture Quote #1

We speak of stories ending, when in truth it is we who end. The stories go on and on Picture Quote #1

We pay for sins we do not remember, and seek to do a will we can scarce fathom. That is what it is, to be a god’s chosen Picture Quote #1

I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love. It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss. Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy Picture Quote #1

Let the warriors clamor after gods of blood and thunder; love is hard, harder than steel and thrice as cruel Picture Quote #1

To recongnize that the treachery of one member of a house does not taint all born within it Picture Quote #1

There are patterns which emerge in one’s life, circling and returning anew, an endless variation of a theme Picture Quote #1

Love is hard, harder than steel and thrice as cruel. It is inexorable as the tides, and life and death alike follow in its wake Picture Quote #1

We are meant to taste of life... and drink the cup of it to the dregs, bitter and sweet alike Picture Quote #1

There are those who are awkward in the face of sorrow, fearing to say the wrong thing; to them, I say, there is no wrong in comfort, ever. A kind word, a consoling arm... these things are ever welcome Picture Quote #1

Why is there ever this perverse cruelty in humankind, that makes us hurt most those we love best? Picture Quote #1

That was the problem... with trusting to the written word... We were human, mortal and fallible. We forgot, we made errors, argued ambiguities, and twisted meanings to suit our own ends. And in doing so, mayhap we reshaped the gods themselves Picture Quote #1

There are patterns which emerge in one’s life, circling and returning anew, an endless variation on a theme. So musicians say the greatest sonatas are composed; whether or not it is true, I do not know, but of a surety I have seen it emerge in the tapestry of my life Picture Quote #1

The harp sounds at each passing breeze, but that does not mean the tune is masterfully played Picture Quote #1

True friendship must be akin to romance, I think. only without all the anguish and anxiety Picture Quote #1

It is not everyday that one learns an entire militia has sworn unbeknownest to obey you Picture Quote #1
