“When I was in the coffin, I pushed myself closer.
I let myself slip away....
Just to stay sane. Just to get through it.

And when I felt myself slipping too far, I hold on to the thing I'm always sure of--

Blue eyes.
Bronze curls.

The fact that Simon Snow is the most powerful mage alive. That nothing can hurt him, not even me.

That Simon Snow is alive.

And I'm hopelessly in love with him.”
― Rainbow Rowell

“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“I wish I wrote the way I thought
Obsessively
Incessantly
With maddening hunger
I’d write to the point of suffocation
I’d write myself into nervous breakdowns
Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing
And I’d write about you
a lot more
than I should”
― Benedict Smith

“I can touch you less gently, but I won't love you less kindly.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Any Way the Wind Blows
