“Basically, being alive means keeping yourself ready for the sky to fall in on you at any time. If you start from the assumption that existence is only an ordeal, a test we have to pass, then you’re equipped to deal with its sorrows and its surprises. If you persist in expecting it to give you something it can’t give, that just proves that you haven’t understood anything. Take things as they come; don’t turn them into a drama. You’re not piloting the ship, you’re following the course of your destiny.”
― Yasmina Khadra, Swallows of Kabul

“Real life was something happening in her peripheral vision.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“I desired you before, but I never loved you until this life.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“Why the fuck is everyone in this kingdom trying to murder my wife?”
― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
