“I will wait for you every second, every hour, every day for the rest of my life, and if that’s not enough, then eternity, which is exactly how long I’ll love you,”
― Rebecca Yarros, The Things We Leave Unfinished

“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.

At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair,
But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.

By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet,
But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat.

For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow,
When I kill, I do it slow... ”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

― R.F. Kuang, The Poppy War

“Maybe love shouldn’t be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either. Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow. Compromises that say, there will be a you-shaped space in my heart, and if your shape changes, I will adapt. No matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like … like everything will be okay.”
― Emily Henry, Book Lovers

“Because love, at its root, is hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope for what could be. Hope that the someone you’ve entrusted your everything to will cradle and protect it. And hope? That shit is harder to kill than a dragon.”
― Rebecca Yarros, Iron Flame

“Lost is not a hopeless place to be. It is a place of patience, of waiting. Lost does not mean gone for ever. Lost is a bridge between worlds, where the pain of our past can be transformed into power. You have always held the key to this special place, but now you are ready to unlock the door.”
― Evie Woods, The Lost Bookshop

“Sometimes, even when you start with the last page and you think you know everything, a book finds a way to surprise you.”
― Emily Henry, Book Lovers

“Sometimes the people you loved left you halfway through a story. Sometimes they left you without a goodbye. And, sometimes, they stayed around in little ways. In the memory of a musical. In the smell of their perfume. In the sound of the rain, and the itch for adventure, and the yearning for that liminal space between one airport terminal and the next. I hated her for leaving, and I loved her for staying as long as she could. And I would never wish this pain on anyone.”
― Ashley Poston, The Seven Year Slip

“the heart is a dangerous organ that isn’t meant to be free. Why else would God have built a cage for it?”
― Keri Lake, Master of Salt & Bones

“The heart is a different animal. A caged, lonely scavenger that feeds on its own wounds. Its scars never heal, because you can’t mend the very thing it needs to survive. So the wound continues to fester, until what’s left of the organ is eventually consumed by its own self-mutilation.”
― Keri Lake, Master of Salt & Bones

“When you love someone,
it’s hard to unlove them.
They make mistakes,
they do things you hate,
things you don’t agree with,
things that drive you absolutely mad,
but when it comes down to it?
You still love them.
You can’t help it.
I suppose that’s why I never really grasped
the concept of Hell and the devil.
The idea that God, or Jesus
could turn his back on the ones he loves so much,
just doesn’t make sense to me.
Even if you murdered someone, Isa
I might be deeply disappointed,
but to stop loving you?
That’d be impossible.”
― Keri Lake, Master of Salt & Bones

“Because this is supposed to be filler, but you’re making me curious about the plot.”
― Keri Lake, Master of Salt & Bones

― Rebecca Yarros, The Things We Leave Unfinished

“Tragedy has a way of breaking gentle things and soldering the shattered pieces together in ways we can't control. Some, it remakes into stronger, more resilient creatures. In others, the pieces fuse before they heal, leaving only razor-sharp edges. I can offer you no other explanation or excuse for the way she's cut you over the years.”
― Rebecca Yarros, The Things We Leave Unfinished

“Life is too short to miss the lightning strike and too long to live it alone.”
― Rebecca Yarros, The Things We Leave Unfinished

― Rebecca Yarros, The Things We Leave Unfinished
