    “Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    “What would you know about it?" he said. "Love, I mean."

    Jace said, "Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself."
    Dorothea roared at that. "At least," she said, "you don't have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland."

    Lauren Oliver, Delirium

    Lauren Oliver
    “....love and desire enjoy a symbiotic relationship, meaning that one cannot exist without the other. Desire is an enemy to contentment; desire is illness, a feverish brain. Who can be considered healthy who wants? The very word want suggests a lack, an impoverishment, and that is what desire is: an impoverishment of the brain, a flaw, a mistake.”
    Lauren Oliver, Delirium

    We are even free to choose the wrong thing.”
    Lauren Oliver, Requiem
