Emily A

“You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.”
― Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

“Remember that it's easier to see where light is coming from in the dark. This is important to remember, for when all the lights go out.”
― Kazu Kibuishi, Firelight

“You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me.”
― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

“Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess
