My wolf was a cute guy and he was holding my hand. I could die happy.
Maggie StiefvaterA sure way of retaining the grace of heaven is to disregard outward appearances, and diligently to cultivate such things as foster amendment of life and fervour of soul, rather than to cultivate those qualities that seem most popular.
