“Let us speak, for a moment, on the matter of sisters. They can be enemies to fight or companions to lean upon: they can, at times, be strangers. They are not required to be friends, or to have involvement in one another's lives, or to be anything more than strangers united by the circumstances of their birth. Still, there is a magic in the word "sister," a magic which speaks of shared roots and hence shared branches, of a certain ease that is always to be pursued, if not always to be found.”
― Seanan McGuire, In an Absent Dream

“If you want to help her, you need to help yourself first. No one serves their friends by grinding themselves into dust on the altar of compassion.”
― Seanan McGuire, In an Absent Dream

“It's a rare person to face who they are and not run from it - not be broken by it.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“For it was easy to be good and kind in times of plenty. The trying times were the moments that defined a man.”
― Renee Ahdieh, The Rose & the Dagger
