About This Quote
Death and what came after death was no great mystery to Sabriel. She just wished it was. From the very beginning, Sabriel knows that she will die and she has no fear of what comes after. What she does find tedious and depressing is the way in which people react to her disappearance.
The most common response is that they deserve to be happy and that they will find someone new. However, most often these people are not deserving of anyone's love and Sabriel would rather see them spend their days in sadness than see them spend their days in happiness with someone they do not deserve.
