The Arrival of Missives Quotes

“I once believed that there was a way to find peace no matter what the cause of the war, but now I understand. In some circumstances there simply is no middle ground.”
― Aliya Whiteley, The Arrival of Missives

“For love is not the high ideal of beauty, of sacrifice, of noble deeds and chaste embraces that I had imagined when once I dreamed of Mr Tiller. It is a dirty business, of wanting and struggling and making do, and being each other's comfort because the world is cruel and there are few who want to do right by you with no thought of their own needs.”
― Aliya Whiteley, The Arrival of Missives
