“I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but mine.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“As a historian, I have learned that, in fact, not everyone who reaches back into history can survive it. And it is not only reaching back that endangers us; sometimes history itself reaches inexorably forward for us with its shadowy claws.”

“She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn't fear death.

It made her feel alive.”
― Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil
