Cassandra Clare
“You're walking the edge of a razor blade, Julian, with everything you hide. Believe me, I've walked that razor blade half my life. You get used to it sometimes you forget you're bleeding.”
Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

Marianne Boruch
“the heart-shaped digitalis to
unstrange a rhythm raving,
sweet blood and slow blood through
the muscled dark.”
Marianne Boruch, Cadaver, Speak
