“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.
At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair,
But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.
By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet,
But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat.
For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow,
When I kill, I do it slow... ”
― A Court of Thorns and Roses

“You’re my curse. Staying away from you, is like trying to hold my breath when the tide is rising … I want to drown in you.”

“When you love someone,
it’s hard to unlove them.
They make mistakes,
they do things you hate,
things you don’t agree with,
things that drive you absolutely mad,
but when it comes down to it?
You still love them.
You can’t help it.
I suppose that’s why I never really grasped
the concept of Hell and the devil.
The idea that God, or Jesus
could turn his back on the ones he loves so much,
just doesn’t make sense to me.
Even if you murdered someone, Isa
I might be deeply disappointed,
but to stop loving you?
That’d be impossible.”

“If there is a divine creator, some ultimate moral authority, then why do bad things happen to good people? And why would this deity create people at all, since people are such imperfect beings?”
