“Now that the truth is out, there's nothing I can do to stop. My chest billows as I sob. My fingers tremble at the terror.

Afraid.

The truth cuts like the sharpest knife I've ever known.

No matter what I do, I will always be afraid.”
― Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone

“Tomorrow can be whatever I want it to be, which means for the first time in decades, I can look forward to it. Instead of being something to fear, it can be a promise I make myself. A chance to be braver or kinder, to make what was wrong right. To be better than I am today.

Every day after this one is a gift.

I just have to keep walking until I get there.”
― Stuart Turton, The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

“She smiles. A beautiful smile. With it, I glimpse the sun. When she turns, I long for that glimpse again, the warmth it spread through my bones.”

“Are you alright?" Amari whispers. Though her voice is gentle, her amber eyes are knowing.
"Just cold."
"Amari tilts her head, but she doesn't pry. Instead, she laces her fingers through mine and looks back out at the sea. Her touch is kind. Forgiving. Like she already knows the truth.”
― Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone

“Afraid.

I am always afraid.

It's a truth I locked away years ago, a fact I fought hard to overcome. Because when it hits, I'm paralyzed.

I can't breathe.

I can't talk.

All at once, I crumple to the ground, clasping my palm over my mouth to stifle the sobs. It doesn't matter how strong I get, how much power my magic wields. They will always hate me in this world.

I will always be afraid.”
― Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone
