“Death had been her curse and her gift and her friend for these long, long years. She was happy to greet it again under the golden morning sun.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“I mean that all those issues that you’re talking about are symptoms of our current system. Rampant poverty”
― Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Chain-Gang All-Stars

“Even if this fractured darkness now dwelled within her, even if speech was difficult, she would show them what they wished to see. An unbroken Fire-Bringer. Aelin of the Wildfire. She would show the world that lie as well. Make them believe it. Maybe she’d one day believe it, too.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass

“But, you see, I can’t say yes to that question “Why?” when I feel like I’m not enough. You can’t give away something you do not have. And most of the time I have these nagging thoughts: I’m not enough, I don’t matter, I am too needy. These thoughts make me uncomfortable. I need love, but I don’t trust it. If I drop my game, my Chandler, and show you who I really am, you might notice me, but worse, you might notice me and leave me. And I can’t have that. I won’t survive that. Not anymore. It will turn me into a speck of dust and annihilate me.”
― Matthew Perry, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
