her heart was the colour of an orange;
that tenderness did not overflow,

I forgot everything I was doing;
that time was the only time I savoured.”
― Chūya Nakahara, The Poems of Nakahara Chuya

“I raise a plastic glass. “To family.”
“And Faerieland,” says Taryn, raising hers.
“And pizza,” says Oak.

To family and Faerieland and pizza and stories and new beginnings and scheming great schemes. I can toast to that.”
― Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing
