“Women have always been cast as caretakers, peacekeepers, and forgivers. We’re told to endure, to adapt, to rise above. But sometimes, the only way to heal is to rage. Sometimes, justice isn’t quiet or clean; it’s feral and bloody and unapologetic.”
― Mia Ballard, Shy Girl

“Eternalism is the belief that everything that is, has been, and will be exists right now and forever, all at once. Presentism is the belief that only what exists in the present exists at all.”

“As soon as his voice is gone I have that feeling I often have when I’m away from my family, like they are moving farther and farther away from me, beginning to flicker faintly as distant stars and I will never ever reach them again. It feels like a premonition of the fact that someday, one by one, we will be separated from each other forever.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover

“think we desire unity because we have felt it before and we want to feel it again. It’s our natural state.’ ‘Eternity as a concept is a bit terrifying,’ he says. ‘Only if time exists as we experience it. Which we know it does not. Without time, eternity loses its bite.”

“I think it’s the only form of hope we have. For our survival, I mean. What good is any other virtue without love?

In literature love is a weakness. Othello is easily manipulated by Iago because of his love for Desdemona. Anna Karenina throws herself under a train. Othello places his trust in Iago, not Desdemona. Anna Karenina’s society does not allow her to be with Vronsky.

Love is not the weakness. People get in its way. People are weak and perilous, not love.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover
