    Rick Riordan
    “And,” Annabeth continued, “it reminds me how long we’ve known each other. We were twelve, Percy. Can you believe that?”
    “No, he admitted. “So…you knew you liked me from that moment?”
    She smirked. “I hated you at first. You annoyed me. Then I tolerated you for a few years. Then—”
    “Okay, fine.”
    She leaned in and kissed: him a good, proper kiss without anyone watching—no Romans anywhere, no screaming satyr chaperones.
    She pulled away. “I missed you, Percy.”
    Percy wanted to tell her the same thing, but it seemed too small a comment. While he had been on the Roman side, he’d kept himself alive almost solely by thinking of Annabeth. I missed you didn’t really cover that.”
    Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

    “Heroes aren't always the ones who win," she said. "They're the ones who lose, sometimes. But they keep fighting, they keep coming back. They don't give up. That's what makes them heroes.”

    Jay Kristoff
    “The books we love, they love us back. And just as we mark our places in the pages, those pages leave their marks on us. I can see it in you, sure as I see it in me. You're a daughter of the words. A girl with a story to tell.”
    Jay Kristoff, Nevernight

  • #14
    Sabaa Tahir
    “Veturius is a Mask like the rest of us, yes. Bold, brave, strong, swift. But those were afterthoughts for him. Elias sees people as they should be, not as they are. He laughs at himself. He gives of himself - in everything he does. [...] He's the things that I can't be. He's good.”
    Sabaa Tahir, A Torch Against the Night

  • #15
    Sabaa Tahir
    “His eyes are unfathomably sad as he lifts my chin. "Most people," Cain says, "are nothing but glimmers in the great darkness of time. But you, Helene Aquilla, are no swift-burning spark. You are a torch against the night -- if you dare to let yourself burn.”
    Sabaa Tahir, A Torch Against the Night

    Victoria Schwab
    “But these words people threw around - humans, monsters, heroes, villains - to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them. Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.”
    V.E. Schwab, Vicious

  • #19
    Victoria Schwab
    “People were messy. They were defined not only by what they'd done, but by what they would have done, under different circumstances, molded as much by their regrets as their actions, choices they stood by and those they wished they could undo. Of course, there was no going back - time only moved forward - but people could change.

    For worse.

    And for better.

    It wasn't easy. The world was complicated. Life was hard. And so often, living hurt.

    So make it worth the pain.”
    Victoria Schwab, Our Dark Duet

    Victoria Schwab
    “Maybe we are broken. But we put ourselves back together. We survived. That’s what makes us so powerful. And as for family—well, blood is always family, but family doesn’t always have to be blood.”
    V.E. Schwab, Vengeful

    Kerri Maniscalco
    “I was determined to be both pretty and fierce, as Mother had said I could be. Just because I was interested in a man’s job didn’t mean I had to give up being girly. Who defined those roles anyhow?”
    Kerri Maniscalco, Stalking Jack the Ripper

  • #22
    Kerri Maniscalco
    “Roses have both petals and thorns, my dark flower. You needn’t believe something weak because it appears delicate. Show the world your bravery.”

    Victoria Schwab
    “He would see her again. He knew he would. Magic bent the world. Pulled it into shape. There were fixed points. Most of the time they were places. But sometimes, rarely, they were people. For someone who never stood still, Lila felt like a pin in Kell's world. One he was sure to snag on.”
    Victoria Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic

  • #24
    Victoria Schwab
    “I read somewhere," said Kate, "that people are made of stardust."

    He dragged his eyes from the sky. "Really?"

    "Maybe that's what you're made of. Just like us."

    And despite everything, August smiled.”
    Victoria Schwab, This Savage Song

    Jay Kristoff
    “She'd grown up inside books. No matter how dark life became, shutting out the hurt was as easy as opening a cover. A child of murdered parents and a failed rebellion, she'd still walked in the boots of scholars and warriors, queens and conquerors.

    The heavens grant us only one life, but through books, we live a thousand.”
    Jay Kristoff, Godsgrave

  • #26

  • #28
    Sabaa Tahir
    “My song is not one of peace. It is one of failure and pain. My song is one of battle and blood, death and power. It is not the song of Helene Aquilla. It is the song of the Blood Shrike.”
    Sabaa Tahir, A Reaper at the Gates

  • #29
    Sabaa Tahir
    “The stories we tell have power, of course. But the stories that go untold have just as much power.”
    Sabaa Tahir, A Reaper at the Gates

  • #30
    Sabaa Tahir
    “Curse this world for what it does to the mothers, for what it does to the daughters. Curse it for making us strong through loss and pain, our hearts torn from our chests again and again. Curse it for forcing us to endure.”
    Sabaa Tahir, A Reaper at the Gates
