“It was frightening, this new clarity of vision: but I felt free at last to know darkness as the other side of light, and that both were needed for sight.
And with that thought—it was almost as though I felt it in truth—the shackles of my old imprisoned self fell away at last. No more did I long for a warm bed behind safe walls. My heart drank in the beauty and wonder and danger of the world, and I saw for the first time that life was not something to survive, but something—the only thing—to be savoured in all its diversity. Light and dark together, mingled in all things, giving depth and substance where either alone was a pale shadow. I felt from that moment I might begin to find all things new.”
― Elizabeth Kerner
“The Song of the Winged Ones is a song of celebration, written as though the singer were standing on the Dragon Isle watching the dragons flying in the sun. The words are full of wonder at the beauty of the creatures; and there is a curious pause in the middle of one of the stanzas near the end, where the singer waits a full four measures in silence for those who listen to hear the music of distant dragon wings. It seldom fails to bring echoes of something beyond the silence, and is almost never performed because many bards fear it.
I love it.”
― Elizabeth Kerner
“By the love I bear you, do not fear to speak to me of them.” I drew myself to my full height. “I would always rather have to do with spiky truth than with comfortable lies. Always.”
I held out my right hand to him and he smiled and took it in his. “I give you my word, Lanen Kaelar,” he said, the beauty of that deep warm voice threatening to break down my hard-won self-control. “Always the spiky truth.”

And without those dreams, how should we ever accomplish the impossible?”
― Elizabeth Kerner
“It might be well enough to wander if you’ve a place and people to come back to, but I tell you now there’s no desolation like wanting to go home and truly not knowing where it is.”
― Elizabeth Kerner

“It is unfortunate but true that the proof that there are rocks in the field is usually the fact that we have just hit them with the plow.”
― Elizabeth Kerner, Song in the Silence
