“They raise us to be soft as silk, distract us with luxury and wealth beyond measure, so we never rock the boat that carries us.

― Samantha Shannon, The Priory of the Orange Tree

“My evening star. If the sun burned out tomorrow, your flame would light the world.”
― Samantha Shannon, The Priory of the Orange Tree

“To be kin to a dragon you must not only have a soul of water. You must have the blood of the sea, and the sea is not always pure. It is not any one thing. There is darkness in it, and danger, and cruelty.”
― Samantha Shannon, The Priory of the Orange Tree
