“My wife used to tell me hearts only bruise. They never break. I don’t know if I believe that anymore. I know this world is cruel. That saints and sinners suffer one and the same. I know every time you give a piece of yourself to someone, you risk them breaking it. I know there are some wounds that never truly heal, and sometimes all that’s left of people are their scars. I know time eats us all alive.”
― 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

“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

“It is important to me. I would rather explore your anger. I would hear your advice. I wish to understand your perspective.”
― Scarlett St. Clair, A Touch of Darkness
