“Sometimes you don't mourn people so much as you mourn who they could've been.”

Hannah F. Whitten,
For the Wolf
“People with power resent losing it, and too much power for too long a time can make a villain of anyone.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“The warm familiarity of the bookshelves kept her together, knit her back into herself as she wandered between them.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“I want the roots…I understand what it means, and I want them anyway, because I am for the Wolf, and the Wolves are for the Wilderwood.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“A forest in your bones, a graveyard beneath your feet. There are no heroes here.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“Grief was like gravel in her slipper, and she felt it more when she was standing still.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“Red spent the time mostly in her room, surrounded by her books, letting the familiar passages be an escape. She was good at escaping.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“People created stories to fill the gaps they didn’t understand, and religion grew up around it like rot on a fallen tree.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“She went to grab her scarlet cloak before remembering it was still in Valleyda. One shaky sigh, that she’d left it there, but a marriage was more than a cloak. As for the other reasons she’d kept it—the claiming of who she was, what she was—she didn’t need a cloak for that anymore, either. She knew it in her bones, she wore it in her eyes instead of on her shoulders.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“Again, that sense of untetheredness, of unreality, of not being sure what to do or how to move. Books. The thought was a beacon, something to cling to. I brought books.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“I don’t think we’re ever ready to take on what our parents leave us.” Eammon studied his knotted hands. “The places left rarely fit.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“Someone pays for the mistakes we make... Either we do, or we leave it to those who come after us.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Throne
“Because monsters are real," she said. "And even the Wolf needs help sometimes.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“Neve's emotions were an ocean of history and feeling, and sadness was just the foam.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“Opposites are not always in opposition; the day and night are equals. One isn’t good and the other bad. But one does illuminate things while the other obscures, and that has to mean something too, I think.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, The Foxglove King
“Monstrousness is a curious thing. In it's barest form, its simplest definition, a monster is merely something different than you think it should be. And who gets to decide what should be, anyway?” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Throne
“I mourn the idea of her, maybe. The gap between what a mother is supposed to be and what she was.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“Red, I’d let the world burn before I hurt you.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
“I’ll thank you to keep your hands off my wife.” ― Hannah F. Whitten, For the Wolf
