I wouldn’t play with them anyway. I am fifteen. I miss my childhood.  (Jo Walton Quotes) What I want is much more complicated.

But it does seem to be terribly bad for people  (Jo Walton Quotes) There is one law for rich and poor alike, which prevents them equally from stealing bread and sleeping under bridges  (Jo Walton Quotes) I’ve always thought fairies are like mushrooms, you trip over them when you’re not thinking about them, but they’re hard to spot when you’re searching for them  (Jo Walton Quotes) I don’t think I am like other people. I mean on some deep fundamental level. It’s not just being half a twin and reading a lot and seeing fairies. It’s not just being outside when they’re all inside. I used to be inside. I think there’s a way I stand aside and look backwards at things when they’re happening which isn’t normal  (Jo Walton Quotes) I do not miss my toys. I wouldn’t play with them anyway. I am fifteen. I miss my childhood  (Jo Walton Quotes) It’s amazing how large the things are that it’s possible to overlook  (Jo Walton Quotes) There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free.
