I wonder if I'll ever forgive Evandar? I wonder even more…

“I wonder if I'll ever forgive Evandar? I wonder even more if I should bother," Aderyn said. "Of course you should," Nevyn said wearily, "but for your own sake, not his. Hatred binds a man to what he hates, and I think me you need to be free of him.” quote by Katharine Kerr
