Desiree

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships, I formed bonds with paper characters.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“I’ve fallen for her…So hard. I’ve hit the ground. Gone right through it. Never in my life have if felt this. Nothing like this…I’ve known nothing like this terrible, horrible, paralyzing feeling. I feel crippled. Desperate and out of control. And it keeps getting worse. Every day I feel sick. Empty and somehow aching. Love is a heartless bastard. I’m driving myself insane.”
― Tahereh Mafi

“That traitorous bastard. The idiot who thinks he's won himself a pretty girl. He has no idea who she is. No idea what she'd about to become.

And if he thinks he's even remotely suited to match her, he's even more of an idiot than I gave him credit for.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Destroy Me

“Good God, I have taken leave of my senses. I never thank Delalieu. I've likely given the poor man a heart attack.”
