“The sun is bursting through my chest, breaking past my lips. It's my life, I think with amazement, and it's beautiful, and I can paint it any color I want to. Right now it's drenched in the brighest shade of gold. I have the brush in my hands, and the canvas is mine. It's all mine.”
― Ann Liang, I Am Not Jessica Chen

“Listen here, Miss Ettings! I am in love with you. You deserve to hear that. I love your wit and cleverness. I love that you are kind but almost never nice. I love your eyes and your hair and your freckles, and the fact that you smell like some monstrous floral perfume all of the time.” He paused, now looking somewhat offended at himself. “And I love to dance with you. That is the worst of it by far.”
― Olivia Atwater, Half a Soul
