Sardothien

“If she is Shadow, then I am Flame. This girl is the very thing I can’t seem to escape—can’t seem to go anywhere without the remnants of her following. Where I am, she is.

― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“Love is such a dangerous and powerful emotion. The gods curse it, for it has power. Empires have fallen for it, reduced to sand and scriptures. Worlds have burned for it, and they will once more. Love has the power to touch even the untouchable. Use it.”

― Tahereh Mafi, Watch Me

“That’s the difference between me and my brothers,” he continues. “We are all meant to ravage the world, but we have our distinctions: War is the most human, Pestilence perhaps next.

So to be something that lives and breathes is a stifling, unpleasant experience. I am ... trapped in this flesh.”
― Laura Thalassa, Famine
