A Phoenix First Must Burn Quotes

“Don't let love take too high, 'cause you'll be a kite without a tail, and before you know it, caught in a storm cloud. And lightning ain't kind. Love ain't worth being electrocuted for.”

“No. You can, but hearts are your own to keep. They’re to keep you alive. Give your affection. Give your love. Give your time, but nothing so vital to your own survival. Be careful with giving away parts of yourself before you understand them fully. You’re free of the stars now, so choose wisely in the future. After you know yourself. Love is not supposed to poison your own well.”
― Dhonielle Clayton, A Phoenix First Must Burn

“They think you're stuck up. That you like being alone, when really you're barely hanging on. You're muffling tears at night with your pillow. If you could get rid of your softness as easily as they put their expectations on you, you would.”
