Does your novel have any inspirational or wise quotes / phrases?
My main character, Zov'ha, has grown a bit wise over the years. She's lived in the wilds, encountered many defeats, fought many battles. And so through out my novel you may come across her thoughts in italics, which are just wise words from her. Here are some of them:
“Defeat is but a burden one must be acquainted with in order to persevere.”
“A famished body is more aware.”
“Keep away those who seek to burden others with their troubles, for the scars of the heart never heal, they only seek to poison.”
“One cannot alleviate the turmoil around them unless they apprehend the turmoil within themselves.”
I've even made a short reel on instagram with her artwork.
If you have something similar please share I'd love to read them!
