“She had finally found something that she had been chasing her entire short, fraught life. She would not know how to describe this for a very long time. But the word she was searching for was: purpose.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Songbird & the Heart of Stone

“A dead lover can never break your heart.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night

“There are good days and hard days for me--even now. Don't let the hard days win.”
― Sarah J Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“Oraya of the Nightborn,” he murmured. “I give you my body. I give you my blood. I give you my soul. I give you my heart. From this night until the end of nights. From daybreak until our days are broken. Your soul is my soul. Your heart is my heart. Your pain is my pain. I bind myself to you.” I wanted it to all be a lie. But it was not a lie.”
