“Love didn’t end all at once, no matter how much you needed it to or how inconvenient it was. You couldn’t command love to stop any more than a marriage document could order it to appear. Maybe love had to bleed away a drop at a time until your heart was numb and cold and mostly dead.”

“To stay true in the face of evil is a feat of strength.”
― Laini Taylor, Dreams of Gods & Monsters
