My favorite Victor Hugo quote is five chapters straight of world building for a country that already exists

[its-not-a-pen]

Starr Carter - The Hate U Give

“A hairbrush is not a gun.”

                   “as they scuffled in the grass, adam closed his eyes and leaned his head back. he could nearly scry just like this. the quiet and the cold breeze on his throat would take him away and the dampness of his toes in his shoes and the scent of living creatures would keep him here. within and without. he couldn’t tell if he was letting himself idolize this place or ronan, and he wasn’t sure there was a difference.                     when he opened his eyes, he saw that ronan was looking at him, as he had been looking at him for months. adam looked back, as he had been looking back for months.”

Adam had a strange, lucid beat of reliving the moment Ronan had offered his hand to help Adam up from the asphalt. Stripped of context, the physical sensations exploded: the surprising shock of heat from that skin-to-skin grip; the soft hiss of the bracelets against Adam’s wrist; the sudden bite of possibility—
