“If a man has to say trust me, Gogu conveyed, it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you know without words.”

“He would have told her - he would have said, it matters not if you are here or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light of the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are - you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“So you do believe in... true love? she whispered.I took a deep breath, I think I have to, I said, blinking back tears. Without it, we're all going nowhere.” ― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing
“Perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. Your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt hollow and empty and aching.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“If a man has to say trust me it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you do without words.” ― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing
“All that he had of her was his memory, where he held every moment, every single moment that she had been his. That was all he had, to keep out the loneliness.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“You know not, yet, the sort of love that strikes like a lightning bolt; that clutches hold of you by the heart, as irrevocably as death; that becomes the lodestar by which you steer the rest of your life. I would not wish such a love on anyone, man or woman, for it can make your life a paradise, or it can destroy you utterly.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“Don't you long for something different to happen, something so exciting and new it carries you along with it like a great tide, something that lets your life blaze and burn so the whole world can see it?” ― Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows
“But there is one thing you must remember, if you forget all else. There is no good or evil, save in the way you see the world. There is no dark or light save in your own vision. All changes in the blink of an eyelid; yet all remains the same.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“This is a long goodbye, yet not time enough. I have no aptitude for this. I cannot learn this. I would hold on, and hold on, until my hands clutch at emptiness.” ― Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows
“I like the truth, even when it does trouble me.” ― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing
“There is no truth on this island of yours. Rather, there are as many truths as there are stars in the sky; and every one of them different.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“I wish- I wish I could dry these tears, I wish I could make this better for you. But I don't know how.” ― Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows
“My world was changing, and I was not ready for it.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“If a man truly loves,....He does not consider the obstacles, the restrictions, the reasons why his choice may be flawed or impratical. He gives no heed to what others may think. His heart has no room for that, for it is filled to the brim with the unutterable truth of his feelings.” ― Juliet Marillier, Cybele's Secret
“Our strength comes from that magic, from the earth and the sky, from the fire and the water. Fly high, swim deep, give back to the earth what she gives you...” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“You will find the way, daughter of the forest. Through grief and pain, through many trials, through betrayal and loss, your feet will walk a straight path.” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
“I had grown up. I had learned that being a woman was knowing when to stand firm and when to compromise. I had learned to laugh and weep; I had learned that I was weak as well as strong. I had learned to love. I was no longer a rigid, upright tree that would not flex and bow, even though the gale threatened to snap it in two; I was the willow that bends and shivers and sways, and yet remains strong.” ― Juliet Marillier, Seer of Sevenwaters
“You risked much, to give your love to such a one.I stared at him. Love?Did you not know, until now, when you must say goodbye?” ― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
