“Habibi. Hayati. Roohi.
My love, my life, my soul, the words meant, but their meanings went deeper than that.
Habibi was for friends and love that was real enough.
Hayati was when love became an all-encompassing thing. Deeper and deeper, until one became the others life.
Roohi was when a soul twined with its match and loved with the force of a thousand suns. When it slipped beneath the heart and tangled in the very fibres of an existence.”
― We Free the Stars

To not let it consume. To focus upon the good, the things that fill you with wonder." She gestured to the stars zooming past. "The struggle with that darkness is worth it, just to see such things.”

“Alastair's gaze flicked to Matthew. "Why," he said, "are you not even wearing a hat?
"And cover up this hair?" Matthew indicated his golden locks with a flourish. "Would you blot out the sun?”
― Chain of Iron

“I was meant for magic, once,” Edan agreed, “but
because of Maia, I am no longer the enchanter I was
before. I am meant for her now. Her above all else.”
― Unravel the Dusk
