“...despite the rain, I felt I had never been more content. I had gold, a friend, a horse, and brandy. I could envisage no end to my life but a bullet, yet even if I never had more than this, it would be enough. ”
― Cherie Pugh, Mary Read- Sailor, Soldier, Pirate

“Somewhere in the world at that moment, there was a birth, a death, a sunrise, and a sunset. There was despair, and a burst of laughter, a promise broken, and a vow made.
And there was this kiss.”
― Lydia Kang, A Beautiful Poison

“You can't escape karma ... It is what it is. It doesn't judge, it's neither good nor bad like most people think. It's the result of all the actions, positive and negative--a constant balancing act of events--cause and effect--tit for tat--reaping and sowing--what goes around comes around ... However you phrase it, it's the same in the end.”
― Alyson Noel, Shadowland

“Love, real love, is being seen. Being known. Knowing the ugliest part of someone, and loving them anyway. And... I guess I think two people in love become something else, something more than the sum of their parts, you know? That it must be like you’re creating a new world that exists just for the two of you. You’re gods of your own pocket universe.
-Michael Wayland”
― Cassandra Clare, The Evil We Love
