Pull down the stars.
Love in the dark, for we're for the dark
So soon, so soon.”

“My older sister has entire kingdoms inside of her, and some of them are only accessible at certain seasons, in certain kinds of weather.

― Karen Russell, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves

“We’re young, we’re not monsters, no fools: we’ll conquer happiness for ourselves.”
― Ivan Turgenev
