“He had this dream before, he thinks, but no dream ever tasted this sweet”


MY SHAYLAAAAA

“I have loved you since before I was born, I think. I have studied you, worshipped you, lost you, mourned you. I have wept at your bier and fought beneath your flag. I have killed you, Una, over and over”….”This once, please let me save you.”

“I was dying, but I had died before, and would die again, we had told this story so many times, you and I, and we would tell it so many more, and it would always end here, like this: with my blood on your hands and your tears on my face.”


This might be the saddest book I’ve ever read 😭😭😭

“When I look up, I will see the sky; when I fight, I will win; when I meet Owen Mallory, I will love him.”

You were trading away everything you cared about— your book, your future, your country’s future— for my sake. Because you wanted me, more than you wanted the legend I would leave behind.

“God, the way you watched me: with a pure and piercing beseechment, as if you needed me more than you had had ever needed anything else”🥹💔

UNA

“The world might remember you as I wrote you, but I would remember you as you were: hard and strange and silent, your hands bloodied and your soul sick with it. I would remember the line between your brows. I would remember that you were not beautiful, not really, but that the sight of you struck me as a hammer strikes hot iron, reordering my very atoms.”
