She kisses my cheek. 'Then you must live for more.”
― Pierce Brown, Red Rising

In what way am I perfectly made, for what purpose?’ To be something so abstract as beauty — it was as if Lucifer weren’t more than an abstraction himself, an idea, a fantasy, the figment of a lonely, longing imagination.”
