“فؤادي بين أضلاعي غريب.. يُنادي مَن يُحبُّ فلا يُجيبُ
أحاط به البلاء فكل يوم.. تقارعه الصبابة والنحيب
لقد جَلبَ البَلاءَ عليّ قلبي.. فقلبي مذ علمت له جلوب
فإنْ تَكنِ القُلوبُ مثالَ قلبي.. فلا كانَتْ إذاً تِلكَ القُلوبُ”
― قيس بن الملوح, ديوان قيس بن الملوح: مجنون ليلى

“Blue must be worn for protection. Moonstones were useful in connecting with the living, topaz to contact the dead. Copper, sacred to Venus, will call a man to you, and black tourmaline will eliminate jealousy. When it came to love, you must always be careful. If you dropped something belonging to the man you loved into a candle flame, then added pine needles and marigold flowers, he would arrive on your doorstep by morning, so you would do well to be certain you wanted him there. The most basic and reliable love potion was made from anise, rosemary, honey, and cloves boiled for nine hours on the back burner of the old stove. It had always cost $9.99 and was therefore called Love Potion Number Nine, which worked best on the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month.”
― Alice Hoffman, The Rules of Magic

The Fate gave the queen a look more vicious than any curse. “There is nothing of equal value to me.”
― Stephanie Garber, The Ballad of Never After
