"And yet-when one begins to search for the crucial, the definitive moment, the moment which changed all others, one finds oneself pressing, in great pain, through a maze of false signals and abruptly locking doors. My flight may, indeed, have begun that summer-which does not tell me where to find the germ of the dilemma which resolved itself, that summer, into flight

fuck you cassandra clare for not letting me pirate your newest release 😊

“ So she ran.

“What made me think I wanted life to be interesting?” she asked as she ran. “I’d be far too scared. It comes of being the eldest of three.”

“But when she at last put a grey shawl over her grey dress and went out into the street, Sophie did not feel excited. She felt overwhelmed. There were too many people rushing past, laughing and shouting, far too much noise and jostling. Sophie felt as if the past months of sitting and sewing had turned her into an old woman”

“Sophie listened and felt sad. Interesting things did seem to happen, but always to somebody else. ”

“And perhaps Mr Benedict, at least, eventually learned some sense of responsibility towards others. But perhaps he did not. And in either case, it is too often true that the rich and powerful have too much space devoted to the telling of their stories—so it is hardly necessary to expound any further upon the lives of either him or the other Ashbrookes.”

“You are very much someone to me, Miss Euphemia,” he said. “I fear that I am not yet virtuous enough to let you marry someone else for a second time. If I am not capable of love—then I shall simply learn how to love. And until then, you shall always have the closest thing to love that I can manage.”

alooooo

“ “You have never known my name. And when I leave, you still will not know it. You are alone in your miserable little world, because you refuse to see the human beings that surround you. If you were not such a hideous person, Lady Culver, you might well have friends in this house. And that is entirely your own fault.”

“If you strike me,” Effie told him, “be assured that I will not hesitate to strike you back. I am a dirty, mannerless maid, sir, and I have no standards. I will scream and kick and bite you until neither of us has any dignity left. Your brothers will surely come running, and they will see you rolling on the floor with a maid like a pig in a sty.”

“but now that Benedict was truly looking at her, Effie could not help but feel the hollowness of his adoration.”

“Lady Culver’s anger is terribly ugly—it is all selfish and chaotic. I suppose the pattern might appeal to those of a particular persuasion, but I have never been fond of it myself. Your anger is bright and focussed, and it does not hurt people—instead, I think that it must fill in the places where they have already been hurt.”

“
Effie looked down at her boots. Misery had flushed her face now. “Sometimes,” she confided, “I have thought about quitting, even if it meant that I might starve. But only for a moment, Mr Jubilee. I always remember at the last moment that thinking about starving and actually starving are two very different things.”

“If all of your options are terrible,” he said slowly, “then that is a trap of a different sort, isn’t it?”

“After seeing herself in the mirror, she was sure that Lord Blackthorn’s opinions on her loveliness were about as accurate as his opinions on her embroidery. But the sincerity in his voice made her feel more beautiful than she knew she was"
“Faeries cannot lie,so you must really believe all of that, I suppose.”
Lord Blackthorn gave her a puzzled look. “I do, of course,” he said. ”

“It’s always different when you’ve got a choice,” Lady Hollowvale told Effie sympathetically. “Faeries try on lives as though they’re costumes. They’re like children playin’ games of pretend. For just a little bit, it can be fun to go around unseen. But it’d probably turn awful if that was always how it was, wouldn’t it?”

i'm so in love with Jubelee pls

“ “I am so pleased to have lifted your spirits,” he said. “But to be fair, Miss Euphemia, I am still a lord today—I have yet to unbecome one, as I promised—and so I have little to be unhappy about. If I were a hardworking maid having teapots thrown at my head, I am sure that I would be angry as well.”

“. “I shall therefore wait until you are engaged in order to unbecome one. Perhaps, if I am very dedicated, I can become something more useful afterwards—like a butler or a footman.”

“I would not dare to lay claim to the title of maid,” he assured Effie. “I have not worked nearly hard enough to do so. ”

“Lord Blackthorn said he wanted to be cruel to the powerful,” she said. “So I might’ve... made a few suggestions.”
