“A life without books is a life not lived.”
― Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Vampire

“Truths are like spices. When you add some in, it means you have more layers to digest. You get a taste of things you were missing before. But if you add too many, life can become unpalatable.

But when those truths are repressed for too long, when you realize you've grown accustomed to the bland lies, there's no hope of removing the overpowering taste from your tongue.”
― Raven Kennedy, Gleam

“But that's the curse of the survivors. We have to live with our dead.”
― Raven Kennedy, Gleam

“I can look back one day and remember that I stood here, in the heart of an icicle kingdom, with a frosted city at my feet and a shivering sky at my cheeks.

This is so much better than a cage.

A smile plays about my lips as I breathe in the breeze. I think this is what it must be like for a bird before it lets out its wings and flies.”
