Esmerelda the 167th

“...beauty for me is a quiet girl with a brilliant mind, a debate team captain with a calm voice and textbooks covered in color coded annotations. Beauty for me is a girl with cold skin and a faraway gaze, a girl who loves children's books but rarely laughs. Beauty for me is sage green silk and soft white wool and forget me not eyes. My definition of beauty starts and ends with Theodora. And as for the value I give her, its immeasurable. She is worth dying for, living for. Killing for probably, or at least poisoning for. She is worth every academic failure, every restless night, all the suffering and yearning and hopelessness. She isn't worth everything. She is everything.”
― Aurora Reed, Spearcrest Saints

“If this is my destruction, then Ill make sure the world burns with me.”

“Nobody builds a wall unless they've got something to protect. Nobody wears armour unless they fear pain”
― Aurora Reed

“How can I take away somebody who means the world to someone else? Even if shes my enemy.”
― Sarah J. Maas
