“What I can tell you is that the only heaven I’ve found in all this hell was in the people I loved. Friends. Famille. So, you need to keep on thinking the best of folk, despite seeing the worst of us. Hold on to that fire inside you, girl. Because it makes you shine. And once it goes out, it goes out forever. Know you’ll make mistakes. Understand that it will bruise—hell, it might even break. But don’t lock it up inside your chest.”
― Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Vampire

“Memory is an unreliable narrator at best, and at worst, a lying fiend.”
― Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Dawn

“Such is the way of things, we suppose. Those hurt will hurt in kind. Cruelty is an infection, spread from one victim to the next; an avalanche rolling ever downhill and crashing worst upon those at the bottom of the pile.”
― Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Damned

“It’s in silence we know ourselves, vampire. It’s in stillness we hear the questions that truly matter,”
― Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Vampire
