“pride is a sin, but dignity is a saviour”
― Merlinda Bobis, Banana Heart Summer

“Hate me, Malini. Hate me and live. I can love enough for the both of us.”
― Tasha Suri, The Oleander Sword

“I am always thinking of you. I think of you in battle. I think of you in the dark of night. When my mind is silent or full, you wait there for me. It galls me that I want you as much as this. That my heart so thoroughly belongs to you. The power you have over me, Priya. Why does it refuse to fade?”
― Tasha Suri, The Oleander Sword

“The moment I saw you, I felt a tug. You are the feeling of falling, the tidal waters, the way a living thing will always turn, seeking light. It isn’t that I think you are good or kind, or even that I love you. It is only that, the moment I saw you, I knew I would seek you out. Just as I sought the deathless waters. Just as I sought my brother. Just as I seek all things—without thought, with nothing but want.”
― Tasha Suri, The Jasmine Throne
