“Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”

“Have you ever seen it in your parents? That moment when they become people? I think you have. It sneaks up on you, doesn't it?

After the facade is gone, it can never come back" -Wallace”
