“Go fast, Plain Kate, and travel lightLearn to walk the shadowy nightWithout a shadow, flee from lightBecome a shadow, truly”
“- the rusalka was kneeling beside Plain Kate on the deck. She was made of fog and shadow until Kate caught her eye, and then, all at once, she became human. She was young, mischievously sad, a fox in a story. Kate fell in love with her. And then she was gone.”
“...we each harbor a shadow self with shadowy motives and murky desires...”
“Yet I thought I saw her stand,A shadow there at my feet,High over the shadowy land.”
“When walking through the "valley of shadows," remember, a shadow is cast by a light.”
“I don't recommend shadow travel if you're scared of:a) The darkb) Cold shivers up your spinec) Strange noisesd) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling offIn other words, I thought it was awesome.”
