Ava :3

“You can’t shoot me; I’m rich!” Yizhi slips through the opening created.”
― Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

“So many attempts to stop me from existing comfortably in my own skin, yet here I am, doing what I want with a boy nobody appointed to me. And it's not dirtying me. It will not ruin me. It is not obscene, filthy, or shameful.”
― Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

“Learn from my mistakes, [...] and learn from my joys. Surround yourself with those who'll love you always, through your mistakes and your faults. Make a family that will find you more beautiful every day, even when your hair is white with age. Be the light that makes someone's lantern shine.”
― Elizabeth Lim, Six Crimson Cranes

“But once you took a step down that path, once you let yourself think manipulating someone else was all right . . . when every new turn seemed right to you, seemed justified, no matter how far you went . . .
Where would it ever stop?”
― Tui T Sutherland, Darkstalker
