Tory Vega Quotes

“Long live the motherfucking Queens.”
― Caroline Peckham, Sorrow and Starlight

“I was too angry for subtle, too full of rage for calm, I had no patience for clever, nor the time for caution.
I was fury given wings, grief given strength and power given life.
Whoever awaited us in that place would be better off running than trying to stand against the hell I brought with me now.”
― Caroline Peckham, Sorrow and Starlight

“Holy shit, have we had the power to decree stuff this whole time?” Tory gasped. “I wanna decree that no fucking decaf coffee is allowed to be served next to the caffeinated goodness.”
― Caroline Peckham, Heartless Sky

“You’re not the funny one. Just try and stick in your snarky, bitchy lane, yeah? It suits you better.”
I opened my mouth to protest that, but Darius turned and punched him in the arm before I could. “Don’t tell her she can’t be funny, dickhead,” he warned like my own personal dark knight.

“The blast tore from me like a supernova, leaving nothing but death and ash
in its wake and I arched my spine as it spilled through me and into the world,
carrying an endless echo of my pain with it to touch every corner of this star
cursed earth and make sure that everyone residing on it felt it too.
I fell forward as the last of it burned its way free of me, sobs cutting from
my body in harsh waves which wouldn’t be denied as I fell over the body of
the man I’d stolen back from the stars and pressed my ear against the heart
which would never beat for me again, begging fate to change its mind while my tears were the only answer I was gifted.
But as I broke over the loss of the only man I’d ever loved.”
― Caroline Peckham, Heartless Sky

“I wouldn’t leave him here either, no more than I would say goodbye. Because this wasn’t goodbye. I would never utter that word to the keeper of my heart, and I would never relinquish the promise I’d made to him with the blood cut from my veins mixed with his own, which I’d taken from the wound that had stolen him from me.
I had never wanted to be a queen. But now a crown of flames would ignite like a funeral pyre upon my brow, and my one and only “decree would be to seek out the end to all who had crossed me, and make them scream as they were forced to bow at my feet.”
― Caroline Peckham, Sorrow and Starlight

“He was like a drug and I felt like an addict going back for another hit. I knew that he was poison, but I just couldn’t stop myself from taking a bite.”
― Caroline Peckham, Shadow Princess
