“Fear cuts deeper than swords.”

“Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears.

Moments.

All gathering towards this one.”
― Jenny Downham, Before I Die

“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Bones
