“Will wasn't afraid of meeting the gods in the end. He knew what awaited him, despite the sacrifices he'd made, despite the fact he'd fight with his dying breath to protect the innocents of this realm.
It wasn't the gods he feared.
It was her. Her knowing the truth and hating him still.”
― Kate Dramis, The Curse of Saints

“Fireheart.
Fireheart, why do you cry?"
"Because I am lost. And I do not know the way."

"You have been very brave. You have been very brave, for so very long. But you must be brave a little while longer, my Fireheart. You must be brave a little while longer, and remember.."

Her mother placed a phantom hand over Aelins heart.

"It is the strength of this that matters. No matter where you are, no matter how far, this will lead you home. It is the strength of this that matters, Aelin.
The strength of this. You are my daughter. You were born of two mighty bloodlines. That strength flows through you. Lives in you."
"You do not yield."
You do not yield.”
― Sarah J. Maas

“It's in silence we know ourselves, vampire. It's in stillness we hear the questions that truly matter, scratching like baby birds on the eggshells of our eyes. Who am I? What do I want? What have I become? Truth is, the questions you hear in the quiet are always the most terrifying, because most people never take the time to listen to the answers. They dance. And they sing. And they fight. And they fuck. And they drown, filling their gullets with piss and their lungs with smoke and their heads with shit so they never have to learn the truth of who the fuck they are. Put a man in a room for a hundred years with a thousand books, and he’ll know a million truths. Put him in a room for a year with silence, and he’ll know himself.”
― Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Vampire

“he is so lonely that he sometimes feels it physically, a sodden clump of dirty laundry pressing against his chest. he cannot unlearn the feeling.”
