Quotes - It is not weakness to admit you’re not fine
“You
tell a lot of lies, Princess.'
'Don't
call me that,' I demanded.
'I
like it better than what I'm supposed to call you. Maiden. You have a name.
It's not that.”

“After
you, Princess.'
I
turned, eyes narrowing as he stepped aside. 'You need to stop calling me that.'
'But
I like it.'
Brushing
past him, I lifted the hem of my skirt as I stepped onto the slight rise. 'But
I don't.
'That's
a lie.”

'Shocker.”

away, her castle stood empty, and her country awaited a ruler.

she said to the birds around her. "Let's get dinner ready. And then it
will be time to go home.”

am strong!
I’m
loved and I’m a big girl now,
Whatever
I want to do, I’m sure I’ll know-how!
I
can go to preschool, I can make new friends,
I
can face my fears, and I’ll be fine in the end”.”

Irit Tal, Popina & Slumberina
“The
present Popina loved most of all,
was
the blanket she got from her Uncle Paul.
It
was green as the grass and soft as a sigh,
as
fluffy as a cloud that floats in the sky.
Carrying
it around was such a pleasure,
the
little blanket was Popina's treasure.”

“What
was I supposed to say to that? If I added my agreement, I could easily be
punished as a traitor to the crown. Perhaps that is why so many girls had
already been relieved of this position. Alice could be testing their allegiance
to her wicked father.”

Tayler Marie Brooks, Sugar Plum Princess
“If
she were truly so kind, why did everyone say she was so cruel? I must always be
on guard around this girl. There was something going on here and I wasn't sure
what.”

“Careful
ma'am. Talk like that leads to the dungeon for being a traitor to the
crown."
"I
am the crown! Is my father already gone?"
"Aye.
He left not twenty minutes ago." The server replied.”

“What
had caused my sudden change of heart?
Then,
I realized that I was not just mourning her.
There
was a shift, a change, and it was all that Klenard needed. With no one to
contest me, a new era was born. The kingdom can grow.
It
was hope and I was frightened by it.”

Sara Ellie MacKenzie, The Circle is Broken
“Prince
Florian.” She offers him a mocking little curtsy. “Imagine seeing you haunting
your queen’s rooms at Samhain.” There’s a heartbeat of silence where the knight
commander’s eyes leave mine and fix on my cousin.
The
hatred burning in them turns to something akin to regret before flicking back
to anger. “Princess Praedra,” he inclines his head. “I should’ve guessed you’d
be the one to break the blabbermouth out of his cell.”

Marie Mistry, Beyond the Faerie Gate
“She
is sending assassins after you because she thinks we are engaged, and thus her
mad faerie logic tells her that I will devote my life to seeking revenge
against her if she murders you."
"That's
generally how these things go. You know the stories."
Of
course I did. Deirde and the River Lord; The Princess of Shell Halls.*
*Deirde
was an Irish queen who sent her army into Faerie to avenge the death of her
faerie husband at the hands of his brothers. The Princess of Shell Halls is
likely of French origin, a variant of La princesse et le trône de sel.
"Sel," meaning salt, was likely mistranslated as "shell,"
but the framework of the story is the same: a faerie princess of an undersea
kingdom dedicates her life to avenging the death of her betrothed, the prince
of an island realm. This despite the fact that leaving the sea condemns her to
a slow death, to which she eventually succumbs only after murdering the last of
the conspirators in her fiancé's murder.”

“No,
Princess," whispered her lover, wishing she would hear and understand,
"you are neither Kali, the eater of human flesh, nor Durga, the fighter of
battles. On the contrary, you are Shakti, the custodian of sexuality.”

Santosh Kalwar, The Royal Regiment
“Remember
when I told you I would marry none but a warrior, Collector?" his Rajput
Princess whispered as their lips parted. "And it's a warrior I have won.”

Santosh Kalwar, The Royal Regiment
“It
had been a simpler time, when she could run carefree around the bailey,
pretending to slay dragons and capture magical wisps. A time when she did not
have to worry about betrothals, peace alliances, or any of the other duties she
was now being forced to contend with as princess.
But
she would not have to worry about these duties for long. After Merida taught
her how to survive the journey to Northumbria, she would have the freedom to
study the region's fascinating artwork and listen to the poets who recited
sonnets day in and day out. The freedom to spend her mornings tending to lost
or injured animals, and her evenings singing folk songs with all the
like-minded new friends she would meet.”
