“Love is a dangerous distraction from duty.”
― Elise Kova, A Deal with the Elf King

“Maybe we have very high expectations from the people we love, we think they’ll never make a mistake, or they’re somewhat an angel. We start to praise them, consider them our possessions, and make them a reason that would satisfy our egos. There’s no room left for respecting them as humans or the differences we have. But when we see them leaving us into our unhealthy patterns, then we realize what we had been doing or treating them for a while. Sounds selfish, no? At the end of the day, we care about ourselves only. We care because we won’t be able to live without them.
Humans are complicated, no doubt.”
― Hareem Ch, Breaking a Pledge

“If you're always walking above people you risk walking on them, Eldas. And that's how you make enemies.”

“You will respect me!” Eldas shouts. “Be someone worthy of respecting first!” I slam the door behind me.”
