A page from the book
The one force no regime has ever managed to outlaw.
The problem with love is the more you try to destroy it, the stronger it becomes. It might look like weakness on the surface. But in truth, it’s tougher than steel. Love can’t be controlled. Love can’t obey unjust laws. Love will always oppose tyrants. Kristen Ciccarelli.Before turning to fiction, Kristen Ciccarelli worked as a blacksmith—a fitting apprenticeship for an author who forges witches, hunters, and rebellions.

A sentence can outlast the sword that was meant to silence it.
Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures. No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.
Ignite Me · Tahereh Mafi
Being cast as the villain and being one are different things.
He thinks he’ll be remembered as the villain in the story. But I forgot to tell him that the villain is usually the person who locks up the maiden and throws away the key. He was the one who let me out.
A Court of Mist and Fury · Sarah J. Maas
Desire that arrives as need, not want.
I need to feel your lips on mine.“ He planted his hands on the carriage wall, caging me in. ”I need to feel your breath in my lungs. I need to feel your life inside me. I just need you. It’s an ache. This need. Can I have you? All of you?
