Athena of Velaris

“People who love you for your usefulness don't love you at all.”
― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the Moth

“When you do the right thing for the wrong reason, no one praises you. When you do the wrong thing for the right reason, everyone does, even though what is right and wrong depends entirely on the story you’re living in. And no one says they need recognition or praise or love, but we all hunger for it. We all want to be special.”
― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the Moth

“I had forgotten what it was to live until you, I forgot what it was like to have purpose.”
― Hafsah Faizal, A Steeping of Blood

“To the child in each of us, yearning to be special. Take my hand, you strange little creature, and together we shall walk beyond the wall.”
― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the Moth
