"The cruelest anger comes from the deepest pain"
"For a moment I see what we could have had: Laia and her books and patients, and me and a school that taught more than death and duty. A little one with gold eyes and glowing brown skin. The white in Laia’s hair one day, and the way her eyes will mellow and deepen and grow wiser."
“You are cruel, Elias,” she whispers against my mouth. “To give a girl all she desires only to tear it away.”
“This isn’t the end for us, Laia of Serra.” I cannot give up what we could have. I don’t care what bleeding vow I made. “Do you hear me? This is not our end.”"
"Strange how monsters can reach from beyond the grave, as potent in death as they were in life."
"What sin was so great that Scholars must pay, with every generation, with the only thing we have left: our lives?"
"I wonder if my entire life will be a series of moments in which I realize I’m an idiot long after I can actually do anything about it"
"Will I ever feel like I know what I’m doing? Or will I be an old man, tottering about, flummoxed by whatever recent foolishness I’ve committed?
"Hope is stronger than fear. It is stronger than hate"
"Love. I sigh. Love is joy coupled with misery, elation bound to despair. It is a fire that beckons me gently and then burns when I get too close. I hate love. I yearn for it. And it drives me mad."
"Sometimes those we love are lost to us, as surely as if Death himself had claimed them. All we can do is mourn the divergence of their path. "
"Needing protection is not a weakness. Refusing to trust your allies is.”"
"Because love cannot live here."
"Curse this world for what it does to the mothers, for what it does to the daughters. Curse it for making us strong through loss and pain, our hearts torn from our chests again and again. Curse it for forcing us to endure.
