“The world is only as small as we see it, my lady. Imagination knows no limits.”
C.W. Gortner“Everyone has secret.Like the oyster with its grain of sand, we bury it deep within, coating it with opalescent layers, as if that could heal our mortal wound. Some of us devote our entire lives to keeping our secret hidden, safe from those who might pry it from us, hoarding it like the pearl, only to discover that it escapes us when we least expect it. revealed by a flash of fear in our eyes when caught unawares, by a sudden pain, a rage or hatred, or an all-consuming shame.”
C.W. Gortner, The Tudor Secret“The truth is, not one of is innocent. We all have sins to confess.”
C.W. Gortner, The Confessions of Catherine de Medici“The world is only as small as we see it, my lady. Imagination knows no limits.”
