    “Her eyes fill up with tears again and she closes them. Even in memory she will find this moment unbearably intense, and she's aware of this now, while it's happening. She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. But now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed she will still think: Yes, that was it, the beginning of my life.”
    Sally Rooney, Normal People

    “I know you are tired, Fireheart. I know that the burden on your shoulders is more than anyone should endure. But we'll face this together. Erawan, the Lock, all of it. We'll face it together...

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Slowly, she turned to him. It was her face—or it would be in a few years. When she Settled. But it wasn’t the slightly older features that knocked the breath from him. It was the hand on her rounded belly. She stared toward him, hair still flowing. Behind her, four small figures emerged. Rowan fell to his knees. The tallest: a girl with golden hair and pine-green eyes, solemn-faced and as proud as her mother. The boy beside her, nearly her height, smiled at him, warm and bright, his Ashryver eyes near-glowing beneath his cap of silver hair. The boy next to him, silver-haired and green-eyed, might as well have been Rowan’s twin. And the smallest girl, clinging to her mother’s legs … A fine-boned, silver-haired child, little more than a babe, her blue eyes harking back to a lineage he did not know. Children. His children. Their children. With another mere weeks from being born. His family. The family he might have, the future he might have. The most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

    Sarah J. Maas
    “You collect scars because you want proof that you are paying for whatever sins you've committed. And I know this because I've been doing the same damn thing for two hundred years. Tell me, do you think you will go to some blessed Afterworld, or do you expect a burning hell? You're hoping for hell--because how could you face them in the Afterworld? Better to suffer, to be damned for eternity and--”

    “You make me want to live, Rowan. Not survive; not exist. Live.”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “I missed you,” he said quietly, his gaze darting between her mouth and eyes. “When I was in
    Wendlyn. I lied when I said I didn’t. From the moment you left, I missed you so much I went out of my
    mind. I was glad for the excuse to track Lorcan here, just to see you again. And tonight, when he had
    that knife at your throat …” The warmth of his callused finger bloomed through her as he traced a path
    over the cut on her neck. “I kept thinking about how you might never know that I missed you with only
    an ocean between us. But if it was death separating us … I would find you. I don’t care how many
    rules it would break. Even if I had to get all three keys myself and open a gate, I would find you
    again. Always.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Aelin took a step forward.
    One step, as if in a daze.
    She loosed a shuddering breath, and a small, whimpering noise came out of her - a sob.
    And then she was sprinting down the alley, flying as though the winds themselves pushed at her heels.
    She flung herself on the male, crashing into him hard enough that anyone else might have gone rocking back into the stone wall.
    But the male grabbed her to him, his massive arms wrapping around her tightly and lifting her up. Nesryn made to approach, but Aedion stopped her with a hand on her arm.
    Aelin was laughing as she cried, and the male was just holding her, his hooded head buried in her neck. As if he were breathing her in.
    "Who is that?" Nesryn asked.
    Aedion smiled. "Rowan.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    Sarah J. Maas
    “He shifted his arm so he could brush her hair back. His fingers lingered along her jaw. “You make me want to live, too, Aelin Galathynius,” he said. “Not exist—but live.” He cupped her cheek, and took a steadying breath—as if he’d thought about every word these past three days, over and over again. “I spent centuries wandering the world, from empires to kingdoms to wastelands, never settling, never stopping—not for one moment. I was always looking toward the horizon, always wondering what waited across the next ocean, over the next mountain. But I think … I think that whole time, all those centuries, I was just looking for you.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “And that was the moment I realized: when the world felt dark and scary, love could whisk you off to go dancing; laughter could take some of the pain away; beauty could punch holes in your fear. I decided then that my life would be full of all three.”
    Emily Henry, Beach Read

    Emily Henry
    “That was what I'd always loved about reading, what had driven me to write in the first place. That feeling that a new world was being spun like a spiderweb around you and you couldn't move until the whole thing had revealed itself to you.”
    Emily Henry, Beach Read

    Emily Henry
    “When you love someone,” he said haltingly, “. . . you want to make this world look different for them. To give all the ugly stuff meaning, and amplify the good. That’s what you do. For your readers. For me. You make beautiful things, because you love the world, and maybe the world doesn’t always look how it does in your books, but . . . I think putting them out there, that changes the world a little bit. And the world can’t afford to lose that.”
    Emily Henry, Beach Read

    Emily Henry, Book Lovers

  • #26
    Emily Henry
    “Maybe love shouldn’t be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either. Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow. Compromises that say, there will be a you-shaped space in my heart, and if your shape changes, I will adapt. No matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like … like everything will be okay.”
    Emily Henry, Book Lovers

    Emily Henry
    “That’s the thing about women. There’s no good way to be one. Wear your emotions on your sleeve and you’re hysterical. Keep them tucked away where your boyfriend doesn’t have to tend to them and you’re a heartless bitch.”
    Emily Henry, Book Lovers
