“The secret to everlasting love was fear. Fear tethered love in place. Without the terror that came from imagining a life without your beloved, there was no urgency in loving them.”
― The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
― The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
“In the end, a fairy tale is nothing more than a sense of hope. Hope lures and tricks. It tempts with shining thrones, exquisite nectars, and loving arms. It whispers to us that we are extraordinary. Exempt. Thus lured, we follow its path. Sometimes we are led to riches. Other times, we are led astray. But this hope never hides its shape, and for its honesty we reach for it and pull its sweet and stinking furs up to our chins, for to live without it means living without magic.”

“You never forget the moment when beauty turns to horror.”
― The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
― The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
“But maybe it is about finding someone whose heart is like a mirror, whose love can make you stand the sight of yourself.”
― The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
― The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
“If you combed through enough fairy tales, untangled their roots, and shook out their branches, you would find that they are infested with oaths. Oaths are brittle things, not unlike an egg. Though they go by different names depending on the myth— troths and geis, vows and tynged— there is one thing they all share: they must be broken for there to be a story. Only a shattered promise yields a rich, glittering yolk of a tale.”
