“We used to hear the stars, too. When people stopped talking, there was silence. Now you could shut every mouth on the planet and there’d still be a hum.

Silence is an extinct word.

― Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk

“You know the problem with heroes and Saints? They always end up dead.”

― Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk
