Bands of Mourning, Brandon Sanderson
She hadn’t dreamed, thankfully. She hated dreams. They either showed her a life she couldn’t have, or a life that terrified her. What was the good of either one?
Edgedancer, Brandon Sanderson
... Anytime you can make someone else feel something, you’ve got power over them.
Edgedancer , Brandon Sanderson
She was strong and vulnerable all at once. … She had a way of pouring everything of herself into what she did. When she fought, she was the blade. When she loved, she was the kiss. In that regard, she was far more… human than any I have ever known.
Shadows of Self, Brandon Sanderson
Think of me as a guide. Think of yourself as a wanderer in a dark wood. It’s about to get darker.
The Testaments, Margaret Atwood
As they say: if you aren’t looking, you don’t see.
The Testaments, Margaret Atwood
They said calm things like 'You need to be strong.' They were trying to make things better. But it can put a lot of pressure on a person to be told they need to be strong. That’s another thing I’ve learned.
The Testaments, Margaret Atwood
Keep steady, I told myself. Don’t share too much about yourself, it will be used against you. Listen carefully. Save all clues. Don’t show fear.
The Testaments, Margaret Atwood
I want to be held and told my name. I want to be valued, in ways that I am not; I want to be more than valuable.
The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood
[She] kissed boys for all kinds of reasons—because they were cute, because she was a little drunk, because she was bored, because they let her, because it was fun, because they looked lonely, because it blotted out her fears for a while, because she wasn’t sure how many kisses she had left.
The Darkest Part of the Forest, Holly Black
Ordinary... is what you are used to. This may not seem ordinary to you now, but after a time it will. It will become ordinary.
The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood
Brandon Sanderson, Steelheart
You're safe here. Perfectly safe. That phrase still haunts me. Haunts me because it's always been a lie. It was a lie before they came and it's still a lie. You're never perfectly safe. No human being on Earth ever is or ever was. To live is to risk your life, your heart, everything.
The Last Star, Rick Yancy
I've heard this sound before. I know this voice. This love.
Children of Blood and Bone, Tomi Adeyemi
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.
—Hoid from The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson. (via torbooks)
But expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.
From The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson (via hush-syrup)
Grief does not expire like a candle or the beacon on a lighthouse.
Nocturne, Adam Rapp
