Study the sky but never love it, ” Father had told Astraia and me a thousand times. “It is our prison and the symbol of our captor.

They said that love was terrifying and tender, wild and sweet, and none of it made any sense.But now I knew that every mad word was true.

Knowing the truth is not always a kindness.

Why is he scared of the dark?"I meant the words for a joke, but Shade nodded seriously. "Like all monsters. Because it reminds him of what he truly is".

Though mountains melt and oceans burn, The gifts of love shall still return.

I remember the hours I had spent in Father's library, drugging myself with books so I could forget my doom for an hour..

I coudn't be kind to him after what he'd done, couldn't be cruel after what I had done

His kindness was only meant to make later torments crueler.

But I can’t . . . I can’t leave anyone to the darkness.

You will honor my mother or I will break this bottle over your head

Dark night knows what full moon requires When all your love my heart acquiresCelestial bodies no more faded Life makes sound

Is that your reason for fighting?! We're different!!! We fight for the sake of our injured friends!!! No matter if our opponents are humans, demons, or even gods!!!

In the lie of truth lies the truth.

Masculine anger is always because you are feeling constrained, trapped by life. Feminine anger is always because you are feeling unloved.

There was one emotional outlet my people always had when they had the blues. That was singing.

The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.

Here sat Marilla Cuthbert, when she sat at all, slightly distrustful of sunshine, which seemed to her too dancing and irresponsible a thing for a world which was meant to be taken seriously.

She bludgeoned me with a look of such limitless compassion that I immediately began to cry.

Sometimes when we’re in situations where we feel we’re not in control, we do things, especially things that take a lot of energy, as a way of making ourselves feel we have some power.

Never put a man in the wrong. He will hold it against you forever.
