"The peculiar offspring of common parents are often abused and neglected in the most horrific ways. it wasn't so many centuries ago that the parents of peculiar children simply assumed that their "real" sons or daughters have been made off with and replaced with changelings-that is, enchanted and malevolent, not to mention entirely fictitious lookalikes- which in darker times were considered a license to abandon the poor children."
"Peculiar traits often skip a generation, or ten. Peculiar children are not always even usually, born to peculiar parents, and peculiar parents do not always, or even usuallu, bear peculiar children. Can you imagine a world so afraid of otherness, why this would be a danger to all peculiar-kind?"

"So call Aelin a murderer and a theif and a liar. Call her a bitch-queen and a fire breather. But, forgive me if I take it upon myself to be the judge of those things when I meet her."
Manon: "And the Queen of Terrasen is your friens?"
Dorian: "There is no one else, I'd want guarding ny back."
"Here are the rules, Blackbesck. You try to escape, you die. You hurt anyone, you die. You somehow bring any of us into trouble... I think you get where I'm going with this.
