“Not everyone gets a true ending. There are two types of endings because most people give up at the part of the story where things are the worst, where the situation feels hopeless. But that’s when hope is needed most. only those who persevere can find their true ending.”
― Stephanie Garber, Legendary

“You want the truth?” Her own hurt bubbled up, like steam from a volcano ready to erupt. “This is the truth: I would have married you in a heartbeat, had you asked me. I would have married you knowing you would hand me over to my killers—or kill me yourself—the moment you found out what I was. That’s how pathetic I am, Gideon! That’s how desperately I wanted to be yours!”
― Kristen Ciccarelli, Rebel Witch

“-Le Forze delle Tenebre vorrebbero controllare le persone, ed è sempre la conoscenza che glielo impedisce-, rispose Malachi. -Possono dominare solo dove c'è ignoranza, creare paura solo dove è stata celata la verità, acquisire potere solo quando la luce è stata spenta. I bibliotecari sono il loro più grande nemico. Noi le abbiamo sempre combattute, e continueremo a farlo finchè quella luce arderà da qualche parte, non importa quanto debolmente. Quando ero ragazzina, proprio come te, ho promesso di dedicare la mia vita a lottare contro le Forze delle Tenebre, ovunque riuscissi a trovarle. E così ho fatto.--Lo farò anche io!-, dichiarò Lenora.”
― Zeno Alexander, The Library of Ever

“I was not a pet, not a doll, not an animal.
I was a survivor, and I was strong.
I would not be weak, or helpless again
I would not, could not be broken. Tamed.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury
