― Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines

“The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.”

“My life would be allegiance instead of love, fealty instead of friendship. I would weigh each decision, consider every action, trust no one. It would be life observed from a distance.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

“If one concentrated on one thing and then another—the good things in each moment—the fear wrapped deep in the gut seemed to unswell, like an iced bruise. Still there, but quieter.”
― Peter Heller, The River
