Sunyi Dean
“For here was the thing that no fairy tale would ever admit, but that she understood in that moment: love was not inherently good.

Certainly, it could inspire goodness. She didn’t argue that. Poets would tell you that love was electricity in your veins that could light a room. That it was a river in your soul to lift you up and carry you away, or a fire inside the heart to keep you warm.

Yet electricity could also fry, rivers could drown, and fires could burn; love could be destructive. Punishingly, fatally destructive.

And the other thing, the real bloody clincher of it all, was that the good and the bad didn’t get served up equally. If love were a balance of electric lights and electric jolts, two sides of an equally weighted coin, then fair enough. She could deal.

That wasn’t how it worked, though. Some love was just the bad, all the time: an endless parade of electrified bones and drowned lungs and hearts that burned to a cinder inside the cage of your chest.

And so she looked down at her son and loved him with the kind of twisted, complex feeling that came from having never wanted him in the first place; she loved him with bitterness, and she loved him with resignation. She loved him though she knew no good could ever come from such a bond.”
Sunyi Dean, The Book Eaters

Rin Chupeco
“Lies are sweet to the palate, but the truth is often spat out, bitter and rancid.”
Rin Chupeco, The Heart Forger

Simon Jimenez
“One might think it amazing that in face of such overwhelming evidence, no effort was made to save themselves. But though I cannot help but wish that when the world quirks and shudders, we have the wherewithal to listen, even I cannot deny how difficult it can be, to accept that sometimes, to survive, we must change our course.”
Simon Jimenez, The Spear Cuts Through Water

Natasha Pulley
“The truth was that he loved Mori so hopelessly he could have found a way to excuse cemeteries of dead wives.”
Natasha Pulley, The Lost Future of Pepperharrow

Olivie Blake
“they were binary stars, trapped in each other’s gravitational field and easily diminished without the other’s opposing force”
Olivie Blake, The Atlas Six
