“People sometimes say that sorrow is mental but longing is physical. One is a wound, the other an amputated limb, a withered petal compared to a snapped stem. Anything that grows closely enough to what it loves will eventually share the same roots. We can talk about loss, we can treat it and give it time, but biology still forces us to live according to certain rules: plants that are split down the middle don’t heal, they die.”
― Fredrik Backman

“There’s a difference between taking care of someone because you love them and taking care of someone because you want them to love you,”
― Lucy Score, Things We Never Got Over

“Tell me what I must do to atone; tell me to crawl over hot coals, to sleep on a bed of nails, to carve up my flesh. Say the word, and it is done. But let me care for you as I once did, before … before that madness poisoned my heart. Punish me, torture me, wreck me, but let me help you. Do this small thing for me—and let me lay the world at your feet.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

“Three Illyrian warriors,” I said. “The greatest Illyrian warriors. Are having a snowball fight.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Frost and Starlight
