“When you care about someone, you want to be inconvenienced—you wouldn’t mind being
inconvenienced by them every day for the rest of your life. That’s what love is. That’s all love really is.”
― Ann Liang, This Time It's Real

“I would not love, unless I was loved first and loved the most. I would be nothing at all, if I could not be first.”
― June Hur, The Red Palace

“Are you in love with me?" I blurted out.
A terrible silence followed. Rook didn't turn around.
"Please say something."
He rounded on me. "Is that so terrible? You say it as though it's the most awful thing you can imagine. It isn't as though I've done it on purpose. Somehow I've even grown fond of your - your irritating questions, and your short legs, and your accidental attempts to kill me."
I recoiled. "That's the worst declaration of love I've ever heard!”
― Margaret Rogerson, An Enchantment of Ravens

“Foolish fox.... Your futile investigation... will end with you.... There are no... happy endings... in your story... The god and the gumiho... ends with ... tragedy...”
