Quote #10
"You should have let me take it back then, for my sisters and me. We could have been young again, well into the next age of the world. Your boy will break it, or waste it, or lose it. They all do." (10.207)
Here, the witch-queen is talking about Yvaine's heart, which she would've preferred to take home with her. But alas, Yvaine has given it to Tristran. The witch-queen seems to be saying that it's not worth the bother of falling in love, since something bad always happens to end romantic relationships. We're not so sure we agree. Wouldn't it be worse to live without love your whole life?
