The Penelopiad Quotes

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress.

Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it.

Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”

“The important thing, he said, is getting used to a face: not beauty but habit. After all, what is beauty, a stupid geometric question, just a lucky joint in the collection of mouths, noses and ears available. But if you've come to know a face, and you've seen it when it's sleepy, when it has a cold, when it's destroyed by a bad day, if you've gotten used to that face, then you've overcome the question of beauty, don't you agree?”
