“There was something decidedly
fascinating about Cyrus; something potent and complex, and prodding him
for truth felt a lot like prodding a sore muscle; the results were both painful
and pleasant. She pitied him even as she detested him, understood him even
as she scorned him. He was a series of mystery boxes she wasn’t certain she
wanted to open, and whose hidden depths tempted her even as they scared
her.”
― Tahereh Mafi, These Infinite Threads

“I see you in the light on the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the
spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in
the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of
my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping.
You are—you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.”
― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest
