Alix E. Harrow
“Fallen women are afforded a species of freedom.
Footnote: There is of course no such thing as a fallen woman, unless we are speaking of a woman who recently tripped on the stairs. One of the most difficult elements of this world is the way its social rules are simultaneously rigid and arbitrary. It is impermissible to engage in physical love before binding legal marriage, unless one is a young man of means. Men must be bold and assertive, but only if they are light-skinned. Any persons may fall in love regardless of station, but only if one is a woman and the other a man. I urge you not to navigate your own life by such faulty borders, my dear. There are, after all, other worlds.”
Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January

Erin Morgenstern
“I’ve gotten accustomed to that tiny piece of hope that sits in the middle of the not knowing.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Erin Morgenstern
“Be brave,’ she says. ‘Be bold. Be loud. Never change for anyone but yourself. Any soul worth their star-stuff will take the whole package as is and however it grows. Don’t waste your time on anyone who doesn’t believe you when you tell them how you feel.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Alix E. Harrow
“In my life I've learned that the people you love will leave you. They will abandon you, disappoint you, betray you, lock you away, and in the end you will be alone, again and always.”
Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January

Alix E. Harrow
“Once we have agreed that true love exists, we may consider its nature. It is not, as many misguided poets would have you believe an event in and of itself; it is not something that happens, but something that simply is and always has been. One does not fall in love; one discovers it.”
Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January
