Sarah J. Maas
“That was when they noticed that every musician on the stage was wearing mourning black. That was when they shut up. And when the conductor raised his arms, it was not a symphony that filled the cavernous space.

It was the Song of Eyllwe.

Then Song of Fenharrow. And Melisande. And Terrasen. Each nation that had people in those labour camps.

And finally, not for pomp or triumph, but to mourn what they had become, they played the Song of Adarlan.

When the final note finished, the conductor turned to the crowd, the musicians standing with him. As one, they looked to the boxes, to all those jewels bought with the blood of a continent. And without a word, without a bow or another gesture, they walked off the stage.

The next morning, by royal decree, the theatre was shut down.

No one saw those musicians or their conductor again.”
Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire

Amor Towles
“But, of course, a thing is just a thing. [… ] the Count looked once more at what heirlooms remained and then expunged them from his heartache forever.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

C.S. Lewis
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

Amor Towles
“From the earliest age, we must learn to say good-bye to friends and family. We see our parents and siblings off at the station; we visit cousins, attend schools, join the regiment; we marry or travel abroad. It is part of the human experience that we are constantly gripping a good fellow by the shoulders and wishing him well, taking comfort from the notion that we will hear word of him soon enough.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Leigh Bardugo
“Please, my darling Inej, treasure of my heart, won’t you do me the honor of acquiring me a new hat?”
Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows
