“Out of all the people I’ve met, the things I’ve wanted, the places I’ve been, none has ever felt as necessary as you do. Because I love you. I love you in a way I didn’t think I was capable of. I love you because you showed me how to fall in love. And I don’t regret it, Rue. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Even if you can never say it back. Even if you never think about me again after today. Even if you were right after all, and you’re not capable of love.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Not in Love

“I see you, Ada. I always see you, even when you won’t look at me.”
― Lyla Sage, Swift and Saddled

“Civilization is often a task that is only barely managed. But harden your heart and slow your blood. The towers of justice are built one brick at a time. We have more to build yet.”
― Robert Jackson Bennett, The Tainted Cup

“I followed my dreams, and they led me back to you.”
― Lyla Sage, Swift and Saddled
