“Πάντοτε αγαπούσε την αίσθηση των θαμμένων μυστικών που υπήρχαν σε μια μεγαλούπολη και του μυστηριώδους τρόπου με τον οποίο τα μυστικά αυτά μπορούσαν να κάνουν την εμφάνισή τους, αναπάντεχα, αποσπασματικά, πάνω στα παλιά κτίρια”

“I wrote a letter to you when I was in the capital. So stupid, to put it all in writing. Every thing I’d done. The information I passed to Tensen. The way I worked against the empire. What I felt. My father read it. He gave it to the emperor.” She was weeping. “And I know, I know that it hurt him, that I broke something, that he felt it break. Maybe I wasn’t me anymore, to him. Do you understand? Not his daughter. Not anyone he knew. Just a lying stranger. But how could he? Why couldn’t he love me most? Or enough. Why couldn’t he love me enough to choose me over his rules?”
― Marie Rutkoski, The Winner's Kiss
