“We will be together always,' I say with conviction. 'I don't know how, and I don't know where, I don't know anything, but I feel that in my heart. You and me, we will find each other, as many times as it takes.”

“I've never needed you, Keita ... But I've always wanted you. More than anything, I've wanted you ... You're not a need, Keita, you're not an obligation to me. What you are is my happiness, my delight. When I didn't believe that there was good in the world, there was you. You're my comfort and joy, and I hope I'm the same for you.”
― Namina Forna, The Eternal Ones

It pained her that magic disguised that potential for failure with a fleeting sense of flawlessness.”
― Adrienne Tooley, Sofi and the Bone Song
