“Meeting you was a disaster.”
She raised a brow. “Thank you.”
Djel, he was terrible at this. He stumbled on, trying to make her understand. “But I am grateful for that disaster. I needed a catastrophe to shake me from the life I knew. You were an earthquake, a landslide.”
“I,” she said, planting a hand on her hip, “am a delicate flower.”
“You aren’t a flower, you’re every blossom in the wood blooming at once. You are a tidal wave. You’re a stampede. You are overwhelming.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

“But there was no time to rest on my laurels.”

“كان على هذا الحب أن ينتهي ولم يكن لينتهي لو لم أبذل كل ما في وسعي للوقوف في وجه التيار الذي يجرفه نحو الهاوية.

وأكثر من هذا فهو يعني أنّ ما انتهى قد انتهى بالكامل.”
― نبال قندس

“Common will please, but never impress.”
