Ally

“My greatest weakness has always been my desire for love. It is a yawning chasm within me, and the more that I reach for it, the more easily I am tricked. I am a walking bruise, an open sore. If Oak is masked, I am a face with all the skin ripped off. Over and over, I have told myself that I need to guard against my own yearnings, but that hasn’t worked.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“I might be only sticks and snow and hag magic, but at least I did not come from her. I am no one's child. That makes me smile, showing red teeth.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“It can be brave to hate. Sometimes it’s like hope.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“Stop waiting. Sink those pretty little teeth into something.”
