“Something had to be done, so people like myself created places where young peculiars could live apart from common folk—physically and temporally isolated enclaves like this one, of which I am enormously proud.”

"This is their home. I have tried to make it as fine a place as I could. But the plain fact is they cannot leave, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't make them want to."

“Only a peculiar can enter a time loop, every time loop has an entrance in which a peculiar from the present can enter, this loop’s entrance is in a cave just after the bog in the forest of present time.”

“Any peculiar can enter or leave a time loop so long as they weren’t there the day it was made.”

“There’s very few things I can’t explain.”

“I thought I’d scared you off it. How’s our haunted mansion faring these days? Still standing?”

"I have two brothers, Caul and Myron, and of the three of us I am the younger. I suppose Caul always envied my abilities as an Ymbryne, when I was an infant he'd pinch me black and blue just to hear me cry."

“Forgive me. I continue to underestimate the breadth of your ignorance.”

“How many times have I told you? Polite persons do not take supper in the nude.”

“I knew there was something peculiar about you," she said. "And I mean that as the highest compliment.”

“Males lack the seriousness of temperament required of persons with such great responsibilities, as such they can’t be Ymbrynes.”

"“In a cruel twist of irony, they achieved the immortality they’d been seeking. It’s believed that the hollows can live thousands of years, but it is a life of constant physical torment, of humiliating debasement—feeding on stray animals, living in isolation—and of insatiable hunger for the flesh of their former kin, because our blood is their only hope for salvation. If a hollow gorges itself on enough peculiars, it becomes a wight.”

“Only birds can manipulate time. Therefore, all time manipulators must be able to take the form of a bird.”
