A Game of Masks Quotes

“They weren’t books meant to be taken seriously. They were supposed to be an escape from the everyday reality that plagued them, and that was why Mercia adored them so. No matter how terrible her life got, the books were always there, ready to take her somewhere else.”
― Eliza Eveland, A Game of Masks

“Don’t let me go. Please don’t ever let me go.”

“Trauma isn’t a competition, Mercia. Just because others had it worse doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to hurt. Pain is pain. We all feel it differently. What might be agonizing to one person is barely a scratch to another. You are allowed to process yours however you need to. But this… the drinking, the self-destruction? That’s not the way. You’re hurting, Mercia. Like any other wound, you should be taking care of it. Not all wounds are visible.”
