    “She turned to look at him, and he was already looking at her. “I’m going to miss you when I wake up,” she whispered, because she realized that she must have fallen asleep under the sun. Arin was too real for her imagination. He was a dream.
    “Don’t wake up,” he said.”

    Iain S. Thomas
    “I feel like I’m the only one who feels the things I feel, or thinks the way I think.  I’m worried that I’m taking everything too seriously, or not seriously enough.  Sometimes I want you to see me, and sometimes I want to disappear.  I don’t know if I’ve ever truly felt like the ground beneath me was firm.  Things always feel like they’re moving and I never get the chance to catch up to them and when I do, it feels like it all goes too quickly.  I am nice to people I don’t like because I don’t know what else to do.  I feel like I’m waiting for something but I don’t know what it is.  I often walk past people in the street, and I wonder if anyone else is waiting too.  I don’t know if I’m ever, really, “Here.” So I'm fine.* *I'm not fine.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “Do not let those who cannot see the truth tell you who you are. You are the flame that cannot be put out. You are the star that cannot be lost. You are who you have always been, and that is enough and more than enough. Anyone who looks at you and sees darkness is blind.”

    “They slow dance when it rains. I have no idea why, but every
    time the sky turns gray, you’ll find them together.” I smiled. “I remember
    once Dad barged into the Women’s Room, which is completely
    improper. You’re supposed to be invited in. But it was raining,
    and he wasn’t going to wait to sweep her away. And one time
    he dipped her in the hallway, and she just laughed and laughed.
    She was still wearing her hair down then, and I’ll never forget how
    it looked like a waterfall of red. It’s like no matter what happens,
    they can find themselves again there.”
    Kiera Cass, The Crown

    “I realize I’m in no position to tell you what to do,” he said, “but you seem to handle things much better when you think about them less. Get out of your head. Trust your gut. Trust your heart.”

    “I’m terrified of my heart.” I didn’t mean to say those words out loud, but there was something about him that made this room, and this moment, the only place I could ever admit to the truth.

    He leaned down by my ear and whispered, “There’s nothing there to fear.” ”
    Kiera Cass, The Crown

    Marie Rutkoski
    “Kestrel's eyes slipped shut. She faded in and out of sleep. When Arin spoke again, she wasn't sure whether he expected her to to hear him.
    'I remember sitting with my mother in a carriage.' There was a long pause. Then Arin's voice came again in that slow, fluid way that showed the singer in him. 'In my memory, I am small and sleepy, and she is doing something strange. Every time the carriage turns into the sun, she raises her hand as if reaching for something. The light lines her fingers with fire. Then the carriage passes through shadows, and her hand falls. Again sunlight beams through the window, and again her hand lifts. It becomes and eclipse.'
    Kestrel listened, and it was as if the story itself was an eclipse, drawing its darkness over her.
    'Just before I fell asleep,' he said, 'I realized that she was shading my eyes from the sun.'
    She heard Arin shift, felt him look at her.
    'Kestrel.' She imagined how he would sit, lean forward. How he would look in the glow of the carriage lantern. 'Survival isn't wrong. You can sell your honor in small ways, so long as you guard yourself. You can pour a glass of wine like it's meant to be poured, and watch a man drink, and plot your revenge.' Perhaps his head tilted slightly at this. 'You probably plot even in your sleep.'
    There was a silence as long as a smile.
    'Plot away, Kestrel. Survive. If I hadn't lived, no one would remember my mother, not like I do.'
    Kestrel could no longer deny sleep. It pulled her under.
    'And I would never have met you.”
    Marie Rutkoski, The Winner's Curse
