“Love was not something, I realized, that came to you from outside. I had always thought that love was supposed to come from other people, and somehow, I was failing to catch the crumbs of it, failing to eat them, and I went around belly empty and desperate.

― Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles

“Lady Roscille. What they say is true. You are so beautiful the moon itself is shamed from rising.”
