“If you wake up in the morning, it is a good day.”
― Heather Morris, The Tattooist of Auschwitz

“It’s crazy how much I wish I didn’t care. I wish, so much, all the time, that I didn’t give a shit about this sort of thing—that I could be like Warner, a frozen, unforgiving island; or even like Adam, who’s found his happiness in family, in his relationship with his brother—but I’m like neither. Instead, I’m a big, raw, bleeding heart, and I spend my days pretending not to notice that I want more. That I need more.
Maybe it sounds weird to say, but I know I could love the shit out of someone. I feel it, in my heart. This capacity to love. To be romantic and passionate. Like it’s a superpower I have. A gift, even.
And I’ve got no one to share it with.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shadow Me

“Ink and parchment flowed through her veins. The magic of the Great Libraries lived in her very bones. They were a part of her, and she a part of them.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns

“Stars flickered around us, sweet darkness sweeping in. As if we were the only souls in a galaxy.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Frost and Starlight
