“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet.

“Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls?

When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
