Robin McKinley Quote
The Beast turned back to me. I could look at him fairly steadily this time. After a moment he said harshly: I am very ugly, am I not?You are certainly, uh, very hairy, I said.You are being polite, he said.Well, yes, I conceded. But then you called me beautiful, last night.He made a noise somewhere between a roar and a bark, and after an anxious minute, I decided it was probably a laugh. You do not believe me then? he inquired.Well’—no, I said, hesitantly, wondering if this might anger him. Any number of mirrors have told me otherwise.You will find no mirrors here, he said, for I cannot bear them: nor any quiet water in ponds. And since I am the only one who sees you, why are you not then beautiful?
