    Jamie McGuire
    “You can’t tell me
    what to do anymore, Travis! I don’t belong to you!”
    In the second it took him to turn and face me, his
    expression had contorted into anger. He stomped toward
    me, planting his hands on the bed and leaning into my face.
    “WELL I BELONG TO YOU!” The veins in his neck
    bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even
    flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. “I belong to you.”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “If he hadn’t been kissing me, if he hadn’t shown up and interrupted us, I would have gone out into that throne room covered in smudged paint. And everyone—especially Amarantha—would have known what I’d been up to. It wouldn’t have taken much to figure out whom I’d been with, especially not once they saw the paint on Tamlin. I didn’t want to consider what the punishment might have been.

    Regardless of his motives or his methods, Rhysand was keeping me alive. And had done so even before I set foot Under the Mountain.”

    “I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
    In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
    ― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me
