“Good-bye, Maven,' Cal says, his voice broken. He isn't really speaking to me.
The farewell is for another boy, lost years ago, before he became what I am now. Cal lets go of him, the Maven I was. The Maven I still am, somewhere inside, unable or unwilling to step into the light.

Despite all our difference between us, we have this in common. We use our pain to destroy.

'Good-bye Cal,' I say to no one.
Weakness, my mother answers.”

“I couldn't stop being afraid of myself. Afraid of the monster I saw when I glimpsed my reflection in still pools, in windows...

But all I am is magic. Unmagic.

I am nothing. I am what is beyond nothing. Annihilation.

I am the unraveler. I can pull apart magic with a thought.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“Cardan gazes at a rosebush with petals so black and glossy they look like patent leather. ¨It was terrifying,¨ he says, ¨watching you fall. I mean, you´re generally terrifying, but I am unused to fearing for you. And then I was furious. I am not sure I have ever been that angry before.¨ ¨Mortals are fragile,¨ I say. ¨Not you,¨ he says in a way that sounds a little like a lament. ¨You never break.¨

“M for Maven. M for mine. M for monster.”
