“People who research anything, who deep-dive anything, understand that solitude is never loneliness when you have your subject. The subject looms before you like a bright city on the horizon, beckoning you forward. And you’re forever living in it, or going toward it.”
― Ashley Hutson, One's Company

“Who knows, perhaps after I've seen your true face, we develop passionate, torrid emotions for each other, have a one night stand, and I won't think of you afterwards again. But the way you are now...makes me want to live out the rest of my life with you instead.”
― Priest, 天涯客 [Tiān Yá Kè] Faraway Wanderers

“There’s nothing quite so painful, or pleasurable, as love and the heartbreak that follows.”

“You are my heart,” he said unexpectedly. The amount of care in his voice settled over my chest like a warm cloak. “I do not easily confess emotions in the way you do, but know I feel the same. The words I once spoke to you hold true: I will kill any man and turn the whole world to ash for you, my warrior. I fear neither battle nor death, but I fear the day you are not by my side. Never question where my heart lies, because it is forever yours. In this life and the next.”
― Jaclyn Osborn, Axios: A Spartan Tale
