“Why are you asking me? Go, do whatever it is you do. Don’t come back complaining if something kills you.”
― A.D. Sui, The Iron Garden Sutra

“I won't suggest that you forgive yourself, but just that you do not set yourself on fire in Tev's memory. You'll just burn yourself to the ground and maybe some of us with you as well. Let it burn, but don't stoke it. Don't chase it. I promise you, when this is all finished, I will sit with you so that you may rest. Iris used the same word for rest that Yan had. I'll sit with you while you heal, and we can remember together.”
― A.D. Sui, The Iron Garden Sutra

“Victor turned his head and studied Eli, too. After a beat, he smiled, a ghost of a grin, the slightest tilt in the corner of his mouth, and Eli thought, I miss this.

― Victoria Schwab, Victorious

“I didn't want you to die alone. It's not a good time. You wouldn't have liked it. But when I got to you, there was nothing I could do. I couldn't move you. I couldn't fight our way out. All I could do was stay. Sometimes that's all people like me can do.”
― A.D. Sui, The Iron Garden Sutra
