Tamora Pierce said this quote

“ All these nice clothes, all these jokes and drinks and food, what good does it do? Tomorrow, folk will be poor and starving and dying with a solder's pike in them, and these people will have another celebration, more nice clothes, more jokes, more gems. The suffering is forgotten or ignored - why sorrow? The war victims aren't our people. And then the wheel turns and suddenly they are our people. ”

Yes Headwoman Azaze. But I never lie to Rosethorn. She, um, discourages it.Evvy and I have an understanding. She grabbed the teakettle and poured hot water into the mug. She tells me the truth, and I don't hang her in the first well we come to. It's a solution that works tolerably well for both of us.
