“You did not let me keep my name, so I will strip you of yours. In this world you are what I say you are, and I say you are a ghost, a long night's fever dream that I have finally woken up from. I say you are the smoke-wisp memory of a flame, thawing ice suffering under an early spring sun, a chalk ledger of depts being wiped clean. I say you do not have a name.”
― S.T. Gibson, A Dowry of Blood

“What do you want to get away from?' she repeated and put her hands around his face. Finally he turned his head and looked at her with pain in his eyes and a dry laugh. 'Me,' he said. 'It's completely trivial. A lonely heart and pain and something that never heals.”

“A ma vie de coer entier.
Mon debut et ma fin.
Se souvenir du passe, et qu'il ya un avenir.

My whole heart for my whole life.
With an alpha and an omega: my beginning and my end.
Remember the past, and that there is a future.”
― Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches
