Notable quotes

“Fate wins. At least, so it is claimed. Whatever happens, they say afterwards, it must have been Fate.‡”
— ‡When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course, if someone is killed by a freak chain of events—the oil spill just there, the safety fence broken just there—that must also be a miracle. Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous. (p. 1)
“Over the last year or so Tiffany’s mother had been quite surprised, and a little worried, at Tiffany’s sudden thirst for education, which people in the village thought was a good thing in moderation but if taken unwisely could lead to restlessness.”
— Chapter 1, “Leaving” (p. 24)
“Presumably he was insane, by the usual human standards, but it was hard to tell; the phrase “differently normal” might do instead.”
— Chapter 7A, “Post Haste” (p. 223)
““The king is insuring against ‘what everyone knows’ being wrong. It so often is.”
— Chapter 1 (p. 3)
“His hands had closed automatically into fists because he had always been a man who thought with them. Soon he would try to use them; she knew it, because it was easier to punch than think.”
— Chapter 2, “Rough Music” (p. 27)
“There are quite a lot of reasons why that course of action might not, with ease, be rescued in any coherent way from the category of the insanely unwise, Dean.”
— Ponder Stibbons, in Ch. 11
