“Miss Fitt, you know curiosity gets men killed."I grinned. "Then I daresay it's good I'm a woman.”

Susan Dennard,
Something Strange and Deadly
“Sometimes justice was all about the small victories.” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch

“Mhe varujta. Trust me as if my soul were yours.” ― Susan Dennard, Windwitch
“It wasn’t freedom she wanted. It was belief in something—a prize big enough to run for and to fight for and to keep on reaching toward no matter what.” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch
“They aren’t for disguise at all. You just didn’t want to leave behind your favorite book.” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch
“I hate this. Both the storm and the plan. Why does it have to be ‘we’? Why not just me?"“Because ‘just me’ isn’t who we are,” Iseult hollered back. “I’ll always follow you, Safi, and you’ll always follow me. Threadsisters to the end.” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch
“those who win wars are those who write history.” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch
“If you wanted to, Safiya, you could bend and shape the world.” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch
“It is always easier to blame gods or legends than it is to face our own mistakes.” ― Susan Dennard, Windwitch
“Even the greatest feats of man lose their luster when one's head is filled with storm clouds.” ― Susan Dennard, Something Strange and Deadly

“Where’s your hair?” she shouted. “And what happened to your arm?”“Cut my hair and got shot with an arrow!” “Gods below, Iseult! A few hours away and your whole life tumbles through the hell-gates!”“I might say the same to you,” Iseult shouted back—though it was getting hard to scream and ride. “Four opponents on your tail and a ruined dress!” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch
“I trust you as if my soul were yours.” ― Susan Dennard, Bloodwitch
“From the day she had stabbed Aeduan in the heart, that heart had become hers—and she would not let this be his end.” ― Susan Dennard, Bloodwitch
“Oh, I know!" Safi clapped her hands, delighted by her own genius. "I shall call you Un-empressed.""Please," Vaness said coldly, "stop this immediately."Safi absolutely did not.” ― Susan Dennard, Windwitch
“Don't think I'll look after you, though-the world would be better off with one less princess.""I'm not a princess," I huffed, beating my brain for some worthy retort."A queen then?""No! That's not what I meant-""Oh, an empress. I see. Pardon me, Your Majesty." He swooped into a crouched bow, and when his torso sprang back up,a smile floated at the edge of his lips."N-no, not an empress either. I-I'm just..." The more I stuttered, the more pompous his smile became. "You're exasperating," I finally groaned.” ― Susan Dennard, Something Strange and Deadly
“I guard the light-bringer,And protect the dark-giver.I live for the world-starte, And die for the shadow-ender.My blood, I offer freely.My Threads, I offer wholly.My eternal soul belongs to no one else.Claim my Aether.Guide my blade. From now until the end.” ― Susan Dennard, Truthwitch
“I brandished my parasol at him like a rapier. "You, sir, are an abominable scalawag of a man, and I'll be damned if I let you threaten me.” ― Susan Dennard, Something Strange and Deadly
