Since it's the first birthday of my favourite duology, I'm gonna put some of favourite quotes from We hunt the flame by Hafsah Faisal.

• Love is for children, said the girl.
Death is for fools, said the shadow.
Darkness is my destiny, said the boy.
Allegiance is my undoing, said the eagle.
Suffering is our fate, said the beauty.
And they were all horribly wrong.
( what is this if not poetry??)
• A life without purpose may be no life, but a life without love is nothing but an existence.
• ..and he laughed a laugh she loved more than the warmest of fires on the coldest of nights.
(bottle the laugh girl bottle the laughhhhh)
•“My bride. My queen. My fair gazelle,” he said in the barest shred of a whisper. “Cannot all three be one and the same?”
