“But wasn't that what every girl dreamed? That she'd wake and find herself a princess? Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny? Maybe there were people out there who lived those lives... But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren't chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

“If you can't beat the odds, change the game”
― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“We were not made to please princes.”
― Leigh Bardugo, The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic
