“Our shadows are our histories. We drag them everywhere.”

“We all have to face our faults and mistakes, and then choose to overcome them or let them drag us down.”

“History is not our guide, it is not our friend. It is a passing stranger, one which shadows legend, sprinkling it with the seeds of truth.”

“Everywhere I looked, I could see only shades of gray. Black and white were nothing more than lofty ideals in our minds, the standards by which we tried to judge things and map out our place in the world in relevance to them. Good and evil, in their purest form, were as intangible and forever beyond our ability to hold in our hand as any Fae illusion. We could only aim at them, aspire to them, and hope not to get so lost in the shadows that we could no longer see the light.”

“We are linked by our shadows, not by our light.”

“The desert is also a place where we can face our own demons and shadows and be cleansed of them.”
