“I loved you by then, or would soon, or always had. It was inevitable, foretold: When I look up, I will see the sky; when I fight, I will win; when I meet Owen Mallory, I will love him.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting

“I wondered idly who had flinched from you before, and if you would prefer their thumbs or their ears in recompense.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting

“I am not sure which I prefer: To be taken for something I am not, or to fail at being what I am”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting

“Let us lie here forever. Let us be buried as wild things are, by tooth and claw and worm. Let the grasses grow up through the sockets of our eyes. Let them find us in seven years or seventy, and let their brows furrow, because they cannot tell my bones from yours.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting
