What a great, fun question. And a hard one. There are so many to love!

I especially love Miriam Black and Louis from Chuck Wendig's series, and I was an early shipper for Katniss and Peeta in the Hunger Games. I also adore Alanna and Marko in Saga, though they rip my heart out in the later volumes. And okay just one more - Rhy and Alucard (A Darker Shade of Magic) must be mentioned here--such strong chemistry! So fun to read.

And, of course, I will forever be a sucker for Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

Charles Yu
“Existence doesn't have more meaning in one direction than it does in any other.”
Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

Robert Kirkman
“The thing about smart mother fuckers is that sometimes, they sound like crazy mother fuckers to stupid mother fuckers...”
Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead, Vol. 9: Here We Remain

Ray Bradbury
“The Men of Earth came to Mars. They came because they were afraid or unafraid, because they were happy or unhappy, because they felt like Pilgrims or did not feel like Pilgrims. There was a reason for each man. They were leaving bad wives or bad towns; they were coming to find something or leave something or get something, to dig up something or bury something or leave something alone. They were coming with small dreams or large dreams or none at all...it was not unusual that the first men were few. The numbers grew steadily in proportion to the census of Earth Men already on Mars. There was comfort in numbers. But the first Lonely Ones had to stand by themselves...”
Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles

Ray Bradbury
“They stood there, King of the Hill, Top of the Heap, Ruler of All They Surveyed, Unimpeachable Monarchs and Presidents, trying to understand what it meant to own a world and how big a world really was.”
Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles

Dr. Seuss
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”
Dr. Seuss
