the saving themselves.”

“they
say
they
only want
flowers
to
grow from
my
mouth,
so i
will
look
them
dead
in
the
eye
as i
shove
soft
petals
past
my
lips,
chew
with
my
jaw
completely
unhinged,
&
spit
them
down
at
their
feet
-i
will never be your expectations of me”

“Ugly
and ungainly. The least dependable creature you ever met. Just when you think
you understand her, she changes. If only I had a son," he said bitterly.
Over
and over he disparaged her, and George would have thought that Beatrice would
be so used to it, she could not be hurt further. But he saw her neck grow
stiffer and stiffer.”

“Trite
though it (used to) sound, real sexuality is about our struggles to connect
with one another, to erect bridges across the chasms that separate selves.
Sexuality is, finally, about imagination. Thanks to brave people's recognition
of AIDS as a fact of life, we are beginning to realize that highly charged sex
can take place in all sorts of ways we'd forgotten or neglected—in a
conversational nuance; in a body's posture, a certain pressure in a held hand.
Sex can be everywhere we are, all the time.”

“A
nod at Beatrice who held absolutely still. "She said she would come with
me. She insisted on it. She stamped her little foot at me."
He
pointed down to her toes as if she were a child yet.
Then
he straightened his shoulders. "But I sent her back to the nursery, where
she belonged, and told her to play with her dolls instead. As everyone knows, a
female on a hunt is a distraction at best and bad luck at worse."
Which
explained why Beatrice went into the woods with her hound alone, George
thought. She looked now as though she had gone to some other place where she
could not hear her father's words and thus could not be hurt by them. George
wondered how often she was forced to go to that place.
Did
King Helm not see how much she was like him? It seemed she was rejected for any
sign of femininity yet also rejected for not showing enough femininity, How
could she win?”

“Her
voice is still pitched high, thanks to her youth, but it has a certain
incipient darkness to it, a low richness that will mature in the coming years
to the smoky tones of a priestess or a queen -- a woman of great natural
power.”

“They
should have warned you that little princesses grow up to be red rocks and
raging seas, fire dragons and warrior queens.”

least we each ought to do for someone who treats us like a king or a queen is

“And
as you see, poor Idris was...persuaded,shall we say? Yes,persuaded to tell me
about Tyre and his own route back to Al-Kal'as from there. Faysal, reveal to
her his pain."
The
Captain of the Guard dragged Idris forward. Faysal then ripped away his shirt,
and Aminah gasped. Angry scars laced his bare chest, some of the burns still
crusted and weeping. Tears tumbled down Aminah's face, but Idris did not raise
his head to see them. "Forgive me" he mumered.”

“Maybe
Leland would appear there by chance in the morning his chin freshly shaved
against his stiff new collar and upon seeing his love in such duress would
spring into action. Maybe he would even carry her out like a princess in a
bedtime story.”
