Patricia McKillip: "To bear what must be borne is the price of a long memory."

Why This Quote Matters

This resilience quote comes from The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip. Fantasy has a way of saying true things about real life, and this line rewards a second read.

Notice what comes up when you sit with it for a moment. The lines that stay with us are rarely the loudest ones. They are the ones that name something we already felt but had not yet put into words.

If this one landed, save it. Come back to it on a day when you need the reminder, and pass it on to someone who would feel it too.
