“We’ve talked about this,” said Jamie mildly. “Murder can’t be your first choice every time you don’t like something.” “You’ve talked about it,” Terracotta replied. “I still think it’s a good first choice.”
― Sangu Mandanna, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

“I've read fairy tales, of course, and listened to plaintive love songs, but I never understood why anyone would wake up after a hundred years and marry the prince who broke into their bedroom for a kiss. Or dance with a stranger once and decide to spend the rest of their lives together. I always felt a baffled kind of melancholy when others raptured over love at first sight, like maybe something was wrong with me, maybe I didn't know how to love someone at all.
I didn't know it wasn't just me.”
― Margaret Owen, Little Thieves
