Hope

“I am the dark lord, who stole away the bride of spring. I am a demon, and a nightmare, and I will meet a bad end. He is the golden prince—the hero who will get to keep you as his reward for not dying of stupidity and arrogance.” The things I love have a tendency to be taken from me.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“You are no one’s subject.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“I would never have learned that light can be found in even the darkest of hells. That kindness can thrive even amongst cruelty.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“And it was precisely because of it that I said, “I love you.” His head lifted, eyes churning. “There was a time when I dreamed of hearing that,” he murmured. “When I never thought I’d hear it from you.” He gestured to the tent—to Adriata beyond it. “Our trip here was the first time I let myself … hope.” To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered.”
