...you look the truth in the face - not the truth that has fangs and fur but the hard truth about yourself, that you're just as dangerous as the beings the rest of the people fear but you can't afford to be as honest about it. You can't tell those people that you'll make deals with what they fear in order to keep them sage from the monsters who look just like them. Anne Bishop
About This Quote

When you're a writer, you should write what you know. Having said that, what we know and what we show to the world should never be the same thing. There should always be a distance between us and our characters and audience, because we don't know everything about our characters and we should never pretend to.
