Wings to fly Quote by Kristin Cashore
““Katsa has wondered if a person could ever build wings to fly with." "What do you mean, to fly with?" said Bitterblue, suddenly irate. "You know what I mean." "You'll only encourage her to believe it can be done." "I have no doubt it can be done." "To what purpose?" snapped Bitterblue. Po's eyebrows rose. "Flying would be its own purpose, Cousin. Don't worry, no one would ever expect the queen to do it." No, I'll be left with the honor of planning the funerals. ””
