“Don’t pick a man who needs fixing—or changing—to meet your needs. He either wants to, or he doesn’t. And if you need to convince him, he doesn’t love you the way you deserve.”
― Elsie Silver, A Photo Finish

“One day, I'm going to carve your heart out and keep it as a souvenir. I promise.”
― RuNyx, The Predator

“I mean the kind of roots that happen privately between you and a certain place. Like you come to a place, and instead of planting a flag and saying mine, the place plants something in you. The place claims you, it knows your name and the crooked corners of your heart, and you've pledged yourself to it before you've even realized what's happening.”
― Sierra Simone, A Lesson in Thorns

“Proserpina was last because Proserpina was always last. Not because she was disliked or because she was timid, but because she was dreaming on her feet while everyone else was walking.”
― Sierra Simone, A Lesson in Thorns
