You’ve had his love for six years, and with fortune you may keep it a little longer. But you will not have a lifetime. Do not pine for what cannot be.

N.K. Jemisin
“Some thoughts are poison. You can think them but only when you've got the strength- or the therapy, whichever floats your boat. 'Til then? Right now? Close it off. Focus on right here and now.”
N.K. Jemisin

“She knew she had never been truly alive until she met him, and never so happy and content with her lot until she was touched by the sorrow of him.”
Martine Leavitt, Keturah and Lord Death

“There was no breath in him, no flush of blood, no taint of sweat or tears. Next to him, I felt the grossness of my own body, how more I was like the earth than I was like him. He was air and wind and cloud and bird; I was dust and worm.”
Martine Leavitt, Keturah and Lord Death

Margaret Landon
“She sat still, trying to hush her secret heart.”
Margaret Landon

“Throne of my lonely niche, my wealth, my love, my moonlight.

My most sincere friend, my confidant, my very existence, my Sultan, my one and only love.

The most beautiful among the beautiful…

My springtime, my merry faced love, my daytime, my sweetheart, laughing leaf…

My plants, my sweet, my rose, the one only who does not distress me in this world…

My Constantinople, my Caraman, the earth of my Anatolia
My Badakhshan, my Baghdad and Khorasan

My woman of the beautiful hair, my love of the slanted brow, my love of eyes full of mischief…

I’ll sing your praises always

I, lover of the tormented heart, Muhibbi of the eyes full of tears, I am happy.”
Mahvesh Murad, The Djinn Falls in Love & Other Stories
