“People are complicated puzzles, always trying to piece together a complete picture, but sometimes we get it wrong and sometimes we’re left unfinished. Sometimes that’s for the best. Some pieces can’t be forced into a puzzle, or at least they shouldn’t be, because they won’t make sense.”
― Adam Silvera, History Is All You Left Me

“I was in love and love died and the pain you've left isn't pain I can see myself having the strength to face again.”
― Adam Silvera, History Is All You Left Me

“History remains with the people who will appreciate it most.”
― Adam Silvera, History Is All You Left Me

“The memory of Esen's fingertips on his face seared him. Part of him yearned for the debasement of that touch again, and an equal part hated Esen for having called pleasure and submissiveness out of him without even realizing what he had done. Eash part hurt. The combined pain of them crushed him.”
― Shelley Parker-Chan, She Who Became the Sun
