I want a heart that breaks. A soft heart.
“Oh God, we killed him,” Arrin says, and something pokes me in the side. “Hey, Athan. You’ve got to die by a bullet, not a bottle. Father said that to me once and — wait.” A hand snatches my wrist. “Is that my watch? What the hell, Athan!”
Kalt snorts. “He stole it years ago.”
“You little thief!”
“If I were a girl, Fox, I’d wait for you.” Trigg offers, which might be the nicest thing he’s ever said. Then he adds, “But not you, Captain. No way. That would be a mistake.”
I kick him with the edge of my heel this time.
No one can kill the sky. No one can shrink it back down to the earth. I need to believe there are some things in this world which can’t be stolen from it. Some wild and breathless realms, too high to touch, even by war, and you are one of them — always.
“… the more you read, the less you want to be quiet. What’s the point in learning about the world if you can’t do a thing about it?”
”No one ever told me this secret thing, that to be small is not to be helpless. It’s to be angry”
”They’re and idea, you see, and ideas are never stopped by borders”
