Quotes by Cat Rambo (?)

“Every city has its own customs, and Tabat is no different. They grow from and are shaped by the circumstances around them, the history and the geography and what is plentiful or scarce, which exert a much greater influence than any individual ever will, even the Duke.”
― Cat Rambo, Beasts of Tabat

All that shine. And at home?
She was a grubby hoarder.”
― Cat Rambo, Carpe Glitter

“I scoffed. "You're acting like all of this is real."
He just looked at me, scorn twisting his lips.
We both knew that it was real.”
― Cat Rambo, Carpe Glitter
