E.J. Beaton
“Strength without swords."
"How does one conquer without a sword? Without a weapon?"
"The real leader conquers with her mind. Princess Santieri's phrase, was it not?”
E.J. Beaton, The Councillor

Susanna Clarke
“Whenever I wish to do something, I simply speak to the air – or to the stones – or to the sunlight – or the sea – or to whatever it is and politely request them to help me. And then, since my alliances with these powerful spirits were set in place thousands of years ago, they are only too glad to do whatever I ask.”
Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Susanna Clarke
“Where have they gone?" "Wherever magicians used to go. Behind the sky. On the other side of the rain.”
Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Casey McQuiston
“You see, for me, memories are difficult. Very often, they hurt. A curious thing about grief is the way it takes your entire life, all those foundational years that made you who you are, and makes them so painful to look back upon because of the absence there, that suddenly they’re inaccessible. You must invent an entirely new system.”
Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

Casey McQuiston
“So, imagine we’re all born with a set of feelings. Some are broader or deeper than others, but for everyone, there’s that ground floor, a bottom crust of the pie. That’s the maximum depth of feeling you’ve ever experienced. And then, the worst thing happens to you. The very worst thing that could have happened. The thing you had nightmares about as a child, and you thought, it’s all right because that thing will happen to me when I’m older and wiser, and I’ll have felt so many feelings by then that this one worst feeling, the worst possible feeling, won’t seem so terrible.

“But it happens to you when you’re young. It happens when your brain isn’t even fully done cooking—when you’ve barely experienced anything, really. The worst thing is one of the first big things that ever happens to you in your life. It happens to you, and it goes all the way down to the bottom of what you know how to feel, and it rips it open and carves out this chasm down below to make room. And because you were so young, and because it was one of the first big things to happen in your life, you’ll always carry it inside you. Every time something terrible happens to you from then on, it doesn’t just stop at the bottom —it goes all the way down.”
Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue
