“Heartless assholes aren’t born, you know. They’re trained into it. Their souls have been drained early and thoroughly by the wicked people before them. Hurt people tend to hurt people.”
― K.M. Moronova, A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope

“Nothing good stays and nothing bad ever really goes.”
― K.M. Moronova, A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope

“My light died a long time ago—flickering with the many exhales of disapproval until finally, with one big breath, it was blown completely out. Like a withering candle left out in the cold, surely to hush and diminish as expected.”
― K.M. Moronova, A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope

“Trust is like glass. It takes time to heat and temper, to make it transparent for both parties to see through. But once it’s shattered, there are so many broken pieces on the floor that it’s impossible to put back together. A year may pass, and you’ll step into the kitchen barefoot for a glass of water and get a shard in your heel. And you’ll remember how it got there.”
― Penelope Sky, The Butcher
