“Your greatest peace you found in that half-asleep, druglike state on the bed, holding your heartbeat low before the cold white stars, sick with a fury you kept forgetting existed and were corrupted by possessing.

With that conviction, you had felt only intense relief.”
― Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth

“Nigenad, what would be the tragedy in living for a myriad? Ten thousand years to learn everything there is to know—to read everything that has ever been written … to study without fear of premature end or reckoning. What is the tragedy of time?”
― Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth

“When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives.”
