“— У держав немає друзів, Северине, — повчав Захар. — Є лише тимчасові союзники.”
― Павло Дерев'янко, Аркан вовків

“I want to love and be loved. i wan to find a way where I don't hurt myself. I want to live a life where I say things are good more than things are bad. I want to keep failing and discovering new and better directions. I want to enjoy the tides of feeling in me as the rhythms of life. I want to be the kind of person who can walk inside the vast darkness and find the one fragment of sunlight I can linger in for a long time.

Some day, I will.”
― Baek Se-hee, I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokpokki

“What do I wish for? I want to love and be loved. Without suspicion, and with ease.”
― Baek Se-hee, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki

“It occurs to me that maybe desire isn't something overindulging helps. Maybe it is not unlike mithridatism; maybe I took a killing dose when I should have been poisoning myself slowly, one kiss at a time.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King
