“When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

“Love and war are two different battlefields.”
― Pierce Brown, Red Rising

“Please don't take him away from this world. Please don't let him die here in my arms, not after everything we've been through together, not after You've taken so many others. Please, I beg You, let him live. I am willing to sacrifice anything to make this happen- I'm willing to do anything You ask. Maybe you'll laugh at me for such a naive promise, but I mean it in earnest, and I don't care if it makes no sense or seems impossible. Let him live. Please. I can't bear this a second time.

Tell me there is still good in this world. Tell me there is still hope for all of us.”
― Marie Lu, Champion

“I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.”
― Pierce Brown, Red Rising
