Of Darkness and Light (The Bound and the Broken, #2)

by Ryan Cahill

‘we honour the dead not by how we mourn their death, but by how we live on despite it.’”

“There are demons within us all that we must face. They only ever surface when we are at our lowest because they are not strong enough to challenge us at our highest.

“All cycles can be broken, my boy,” Dayne’s father said, his hand tracing along a figure eight roughly drawn with chalk on the wall. “But they do not break on their own, not while good people stand by.”

“The sun will set, and it will rise again, and it will do so the next day and the next. The gods are in charge of such things, but it is by our own will that we pick ourselves up when we fall.”

And in that, I do not mean you cannot hold fear in your hearts, for courage is not the absence of fear. It is the will to act in spite of fear.”
