The Consumption of Magic Quotes

“Because it’s always been you, Sam. I promise. I promise. I promise, because when I look upon these stars, there is nothing I wish for more than you.”

“Life is like this: it aches. It's biting, and you ache from it. You are strong, because they tell you that you are. You are stronger than anything they've ever seen. You have to be. It is what is expected of you.
But it can ache, and it pulls on you like nothing ever has. You breathe through it because that's the only thing you can do. You push against it, and maybe you stumble. Maybe you trip and fall. Maybe you skin your hands and knees, your hair hanging around your face as you struggle for breath, blood oozing from your wounds.
Or maybe it's worse. Maybe you break your bones and bite clear through you lip. Maybe you can't find the strength to pick yourself up again. It's easier, you think, to just stay where you are. Because if you get up, if you push yourself on, there's a chance the same thing will happen and you'll be right here where you are, curled up and in agony. And maybe you'll eventually get to the point where you won't get up at all.
But then there is a hand extended to you, and it's kind and warm, and the arm attached to the hand is strong. And maybe, if you trust it enough, it can pull you up. And if you're lucky, the arm will go around your waist, and even though you ache, even though it's biting and you ache from it, you'll be held up and you can breathe again for the first time. It expands inside your chest, and the crystal clarity of it all aches too, but it's a good ache. Because sometimes hurt can be good too.
Life is like this: It's biting, and you ache from it. But you are strong.”

“We were human. We breathed. We lived. We laughed. We broke. And in the end, we loved each other down to our very souls. We moved with a strange grace, the dance of life that pushed us together, and didn't we just cling to each other? Didn't we just hold on as tightly as we could in fear that at any possible moment, we'd be torn away?
We did.”
― T.J. Klune, The Consumption of Magic
