“Wren saw now how passion was delicate and temporary, a visitor, a feeling that would come and go. Feelings fled under pressure; feelings did not light the darkness. What remained strong in the deep, the hard times, was love as an effort, a doing, a conscious act of will. Soulmates, like her and Lewis, were not theoretical and found. They were tangible, built.”
― Emily Habeck, Shark Heart

“In the rare hopeful hour, I tell myself this darkness has a purpose: to help me recognize light if I ever find it again.”
― Emily Habeck, Shark Heart

“I wish his darkness lived outside of him, because you have to know it's there to see it. Like all real monsters, he hides in plain sight.”
― Courtney Summers, Sadie

“People don't change. They just get better at hiding who they really are.”
― Courtney Summers, Sadie
