“I am like the other brides. I know what it is to love someone you would do anything to protect. Who are you to say what my fate is- if I am to fail, or if I am to succeed? My fate is not yours to decide, my fate belongs to me.”

“And there is no hope, because love can’t be bought or earned or even prayed for. It must be freely given. And I have given my heart to someone, but he is not the Sea God.”
― Axie Oh, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

“Your people suffer not because of any great will of the gods, but because of their own violent acts. They wage the wars that burn the forests and fields. They spill the blood that pollutes the rivers and streams. To blame the gods is to blame the land itself. Look upon your reflection to find your enemy.”
― Axie Oh, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

“Don't chase fate, Mina. Let fate chase you."
" love can't be bought or earned or even prayed for. It must be freely given.”
