Alex’s Quotes

“You’ve ruined me, Persephone. Forgive the fuck out of me if I want to return the favor.”
― Katee Robert, Neon Gods

“Neil thought about Renee's bruised knuckles, Dan's fierce spirit, and Allison holding her ground on the court a week after Seth's death. He thought about his mother standing unflinching in the face of his father's violent anger and her ruthlessly leaving bodies in their wake. He felt compelled to say, "Some of the strongest people I've known are women.”
― Nora Sakavic, The Raven King
