Samantha Shannon
“You have risen from the ashes before. The only way to survive, " he said, "is to believe you always will.”
Samantha Shannon, The Song Rising

Roshani Chokshi
“I know your soul. Everything else is just an ornament.”
Roshani Chokshi, The Star-Touched Queen

Sylvia Plath
“Ash, ash —-
You poke and stir.
Flesh, bone, there is nothing there——

A cake of soap,
A wedding ring,
A gold filling.

Herr God, Herr Lucifer
Beware
Beware.

Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.”
Sylvia Plath, Ariel: The Restored Edition

Damien Echols
“Someone sent me a letter that had one of the best quotes I've ever read. It said "What is to give light must endure burning." It's by a writer named Viktor Frankl. I've been turning that quote over and over in my head. The truth of it is absolutely awe-inspiring. In the end, I believe it's why we all suffer. It's the meaning we all look for behind the tragedies in our lives. The pain deepens us, burns away our impurities and petty selfishness. It makes us capable of empathy and sympathy. It makes us capable of love. The pain is the fire that allows us to rise from the ashes of what we were, and more fully realize what we can become. When you can step back and see the beauty of the process, it's amazing beyond words.”
Damien Echols, Life After Death
