Jo Walton Quotes

It Wasn't That We Didn't Know History. Even If You Only Count The Real World, We Knew More History Than Most People. We'd Been Taught About Cavemen And Normans And Tudors. We Knew About Greeks And Romans. We Knew Masses Of Personal Stories About World War II. We Even Knew Quite A Lot Of Family History. It Just Didn't Connect To The Landscape. And It Was The Landscape That Formed Us, That Made Us Who We Were As We Grew In It, That Affected Everything. We Thought We Were Living In A Fantasy Landscape When Actually We Were Living In A Science Fictional One. In Ignorance, We Played Our Way Through What The Elves And Giants Had Left Us, Taking The Fairies' Possession For Ownership. I Named The Dramroads After Places In The Lord Of The Rings When I Should Have Recognized That They Were From The Chrysalids.
