❛ You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast. ❜
❛ You are going to break your promise. ❜
❛ And I hold my hands over the ears of my heart, so that I will not hate you. ❜
❛ Oh, I will be cruel to you. ❜
❛ It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be. ❜
❛ But you understand, don’t you? ❜
❛ I am a demanding creature. ❜
❛ I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. ❜
❛ For you alone I will be weak. ❜
❛ I do not tolerate a world emptied of you. ❜
❛ In the dark, I have pored over the loss of you like pale gold. ❜
❛ I have looked for your face in the patterns of the ice. ❜
❛ I moved the earth and the water for you. ❜
❛ Because my magic is as strong as an arm. ❜
❛ Magic does that. It wastes you away. ❜
❛ Magic does that. It wastes you away. Once it grips you by the ear, the real world gets quieter and quieter, until you can hardly hear it at all. ❜
❛ You will always run away with her. ❜
❛ You will always lose her. ❜
❛ You will always be a fool. ❜
❛ War is not for winning. ❜
❛ But her heart was so cold that she could hold ice in her mouth and it would never melt. ❜
❛ You look like a winter night. ❜
❛ But if you must be clever, then be clever. ❜
❛ Sleep with fists closed and shoot straight. ❜
❛ She is so stubborn, her heart has an argument with her head every time it wants to beat. ❜
❛ Tell me you want what you want and damn me forever. But don’t leave me. ❜
❛ In his own country, death can be kind. ❜
❛ Bad luck relies on absolutely perfect timing. ❜
❛ Someone ought to write a novel about me. ❜
❛ I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived. ❜
❛ What is the world but a boxing ring where fools and devils put up their fists? ❜
❛ After love, no one is what they were before. ❜
❛ In the space of one heartbeat to another I loved you and I was lost to you. ❜
❛ No one is now what they were before the war. There’s just no getting any of it back. ❜
❛ How long your hair has grown. You could strangle a man in it. ❜
❛ I have survived, but I have not been spared. ❜
❛ After all, when all else is gone, you may still have bitterness in abundance. ❜
❛ I’ve a devil of a habit for being right. ❜
❛ Everyone is a criminal! ❜
❛ Naturally, then, humans fall into three categories: the criminal, the not-yet-criminal, and the not-yet-caught. ❜
❛ Forests have secrets. ❜
❛ We are better at this than you are. ❜
❛ We can hold two terrible ideas at once in our hearts. ❜
❛ It’s not so bad, my darling. ❜
❛ I look at you and it is like my throat being cut. ❜
❛ Do you think I am a fool? ❜
❛ Did you never think, even once, that I loved lipstick and rouge for more than their color alone? ❜
❛ I still want to kiss you. ❜
❛ He’ll burn you down like wax if you let him. ❜
❛ Did I not come to you on my knees with a kingdom in my hand? ❜
❛ I am not a little girl anymore, dazzled by your magic. It is my magic, now, too. ❜
❛ My heart is being cut in two. I cannot bear it. ❜
❛ Nothing ever truly dies. ❜
