“In the fairytales, when the knight in shining armor is killed defending his fair maiden, she brings him back to life with a magical kiss, and they live happily ever after.
But this wasn’t that sort of fairytale.”
― Gwen Mitchell, Veil of Thorns

“If a kiss has a color, this one is the muted shades of the sky overhead, a ménage à trois of midnight and indigo and moonshine silver. If a kiss has a sound, this one is the concert of our breaths and sighs and moans. If a kiss has a taste, it tastes like this. Hunger flavored with yearning and spiced with desperation.”
― Kennedy Ryan, The Kingmaker

“Και πρέπει ένα πράγμα να αναγνωρίσει κανείς στη ματαιοδοξία: βρίσκει πάντα ευφάνταστους τρόπους να σε κάνει να μετανιώσεις που την εμπιστεύτηκες.”
― Alessandro Piperno, Inseparabili

“ancient civilisations resonate down through the ages in Iran. Some of history's biggest names–Cyrus and Darius, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan–all left their mark here, and the cities they conquered or ruled are among the finest in a region rich with such storied ruins. Walking around the awesome and beautiful ancient capital at Persepolis, experiencing the remote power of Susa (Shush), and taking in the wonderfully immense Elamite ziggurat at Choqa Zanbil will carry you all the way back to the glory days of Ancient Persia.”
