“and yet the lure was right in front of me all along. i just had to put his damsel in distress. of course he came running.” -somehow the most romantic sentence i’ve heard in a modern book and it isn’t even a romance.

“that was all there was in this world. no heroes or villains, just the people you’d brave the waves for, and the ones you’d let drown.”

“but she liked this life full of pointless beauty. it could all disappear as easily as a dream, only the memory of it wouldn’t fade the way dreams did.”

“why raise children on the promise of magic? why create a want in them that can never be satisfied- for revelation, for transformation- and then set them adrift in a bleak, pragmatic world?”

“this is what your magic is for, isn’t it? this is what it does. props up people in power, lets the people with everything take a little more?”
