“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“Hope is a powerful thing. Some say it’s a different breed of magic altogether.”
― Stephanie Garber, Caraval

“It doesn’t matter,” she said. “Life is full of stupid things and sometimes we just have to do them.”
― Shyam Selvadurai, Funny Boy: A Novel

“The physical body—it heals. The scars fade. But the memories are forever. Even when you forget, they remain inside, taunting you, resurfacing when you least expect.”
― Namina Forna, The Gilded Ones
