Acceptance Quote by Guy Gavriel Kay

“In summer darkness, stars in her south-facing window, she makes - or accepts - a decision in her heart. There is fear again with it, and sorrow, but also a kind of easing of disquiet and distress, which is what acceptance is said to bring, is it not?” quote by Guy Gavriel Kay
