“The thing about shadows is that they're not all darkness. You need to have light to have shadows. So just look for it.”
― A. Meredith Walters, Light in the Shadows

“Four wings, two hearts, but only one soul. They connect in the middle, but are separated by a thin line of ash. Its what brings them together, yet rips their feathers apart. They can never truly be together as light and dark. Unless one makes the ultimate sacrifice. Blows out their candle, and joins the other in the dark. Or if the other dares to fly across the line and steals the others light And force them to cross over the line and join the darkness of life. Im not gone, princess. I will come back for you until you give in.”
― Jessica Sorensen, Ember

“What we had went so much deeper than a kiss.
When we were together, she turned me completely inside out. It didn't matter if we were dead or alive. We could never be kept apart. There were some things more powerful than worlds or universes. She was my world, as much as I was hers. What we had, we knew.
The poems are all wrong. It's a bang, a really big bang. Not a whimper.
And sometimes gold can stay.
Anybody who's ever been in love can tell you that.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Redemption

“The choices we make in our life don't have to define us. It's what we learn from them that's important.”
