“Perhaps I could climb aboard a ship and sail to the farthest corner of the world, where there was only undiscovered wilderness, where I could breathe deep the wet wilds and be so lost in fresh green there was no thought of old red.”

“You do realize I’m a woman, don’t
you?”
Silas blinked. “I hadn’t questioned it until now.”
“Well, you sleep quite easily with a woman in your bed. Is that a
common occurrence for you?”
He stared at her flatly. “If you’re referring to earlier this morning, Your
Highness, I’ll remind you that you’re the one who climbed in. Is that a
common occurrence for you?”
Her blush spread to her collar.
“No!” She buried her face in her hands. “Forget it. Forget I said
anything.”
― Sonnets and Serpents

“In three languages”—his voice cracked—“I can’t find the words for
what I feel, because language can’t describe the depth of it. Poetry has
never penned, tongue has never tasted, magic has never matched the
connection my soul feels to yours.”

“It's true what the folktale says: I did choose to live with the beast. But not for the reason you think. Not to save my father. Not even to save myself.
In truth, I was hoping I'd be eaten.”

“This is the most important piece of embroidery I’ve ever sewn.
It was made in a time of desperation, stitched with thoughts of my
mother and all my longing to hear the advice she can no longer tell
me. It was stitched with regret, because I seem to have ruined my
own life at every opportunity, but also with relentless hope and a
stubbornness to continue forward, because I am nothing if not
stubborn. It is the capturing of imagined beauty, and it is the
capturing of silent rebellion, sewn in a single color because I did not
have multiple, because the waves of life had driven me under, and
I’d lost all I had.”
My breath caught, and I had to swallow before adding, “Sewn in
a single color because this thread was the kindness given me by the
best man I’ve ever known, given without hesitation or second
thought, just as he gives every sacrifice. Smicker, I daresay, this
embroidery is no longer thread at all. It is every moment that led me
to lifting my needle and every event which came as a result. The
converging of the path. A tapestry woven with the essence of an
entire life. It is the symbol of all I’ve done and become. The perfect
representation of Astra.”

“It takes courage to trust after betrayal and to speak instead of staying silent, but it is worth it.”
