“Everybody made faces around here. Human beings, she discovered, could not maintain the stony, frozen expressions of the merfolk, not for an instant. There was not a moment where their faces remained blank. There was always a light in their eye, and the light, like red wind, would flare into a raging fire without notice.”
― Esther Dalseno, Drown

“That was one of the worst things about being sick. Someone was always waiting on you, which meant disappointing people was inevitable.”
― Laekan Zea Kemp, The Girl In Between

“Things go round and round. Everything comes again. Until someone does something so differently that they change everything.”
― Anya Allyn, Music Box

“Some problems aren’t fixable, but that doesn’t mean you should stop. That sense that you can’t move forward ... that’s the trap. It’s better to take the best future you can manage with what you have, than to put your life on hold trying to fix everything in the hopes of a perfect future that might never come.”
― Annette Marie, Reap the Shadows
