“A home isn’t a place, it’s this strange tingly feeling in your gut when something just... feels right. When you can do things you like, when everything you see, hear, feel, and smell is not obstructive and irritating but pleasant. When you have someone with you who loves you and who’ll be with you through it all. That’s a much better kind of home, I think.”
― Catherine A. Sobol, Trials of the Fallen Prince

“The stomach is easily satisfied. It's the hunger in our hearts that kills us.”

“I suppose, but not in the way you see it. I mean, love is an illusion. My kind of love is respect. Because love, no matter how much people say it’s beautiful, it gives you a weak spot." Astra looked her straight in the eyes. "And when you live like I've lived, you don't have time for love, you can’t have that weakness. All the love I’ve ever gotten was a reminder to keep working hard, to keep doing what I’m told. When you are who I am, you'll find that love is just a fairytale to keep people compliant. That’s all it’s ever done for me. Not everyone gets a happy ending.”
― Sera Amoroso, Torsion

“Sometimes it’s easier to say that you hate what you can’t have rather than admit how badly you want it.”
