Emily Busick

“That's what love is. It's taking a leap of faith. It's opening yourself up and letting your walls down and allowing someone to see every dark and broken corner of your soul. It's truth and honesty with yourself and them. It's raw and brutal and terrifying and real. You can't just claim to want it, but refuse to allow yourself to be vulnerable to it. That's not how it works. If you love someone, truly love them, you'll bear your soul to them and let them be the keeper of your heart no matter how fragile or damaged it might be. And if they love you then they'll do everything in their power to keep it safe, to nurture and protect it and heal over all the old wounds.”
― Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

“And fear shackles you just as easily as chains if you let it. So do your worst… or don’t. I can’t control what you choose to do, but I can choose what I do.”
― Caroline Peckham, Shadow Princess

“You should never close the door on a gift just because you don't think you fit the mould. Don't ever define yourself by what you believe people see. Open yourself up to possibilities because you are talented enough to do anything.”
― Bea Paige, Freestyle

“Words can betray and pretty up lies as though they’re truths. I know that better than anyone.”
― Bea Paige, Academy of Misfits: The Complete Boxset
