― Kandi Steiner, A Love Letter to Whiskey

“It is the certainty of never that hurts most.”

“I hadn't noticed the fine print until now: When you survive something that was thought to be unsurvivable, the obvious is gained. You have your life-you have time. But it's only when you get there that you realize your survival has come at a cost.”

“Half of love was being afraid. Not of the person, of course not-but being afraid of how love could ruin you, how it could feel like handing over part of your soul to be trampled. Not a fear of what the one you loved might do to you, but a fear of what the world could, when you let part of your heart walk around outside your body.”
― Hannah Whitten, The Nightshade Crown Series 3-Book Collection Set - Dark Fantasy Romance and Court Intrigue - The Foxglove King, The Hemlock Queen, The Nightshade God
