Archer Quote by Kristin Cashore
““The sight of her killed his joy. Well. He was not the only person with the right to risk his life, and he was not the only person who was brave. It all seemed to make sense in her mind as she turned to Archer, to assure him she didn’t want to shoot raptors from the wall after all; and then she swung away to Small’s stall to do something that had no logic whatsoever, except, perhaps hidden very deep.””

And you may blame me for your feelings, but it isn't fair to blame me for how you've chosen to behave.” quote by Kristin Cashore](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f9c/kristin-cashore-369_archer_a-quote-from-fire-where-fire-projected-a_2078075.jpg)
