Kara

“She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“I do not know if these hands will become Malcolm’s—raised and fisted or Martin’s—open and asking or James’s—curled around a pen. I do not know if these hands will be Rosa’s or Ruby’s gently gloved and fiercely folded calmly in a lap, on a desk, around a book, ready to change the world . . .”
― Jacqueline Woodson, Brown Girl Dreaming

“The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“Aren't you afraid of dying?" he asked Lila now.
She looked at him as if it were a strange question. And then she shook her head. "Death comes for everyone," she said simply. "I'm not afraid of dying. But I am afraid of dying here." She swept her hand over the room, the tavern, the city. "I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still.”
― Victoria Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic
