" desire is not simple. It is not shelter. It is not warmth. It is a fire that offers no light, only heat, ruinous and consuming. The longer you deny it, the hotter it burns. You forget shelter. You forget warmth. There is only that which you want and cannot have, and the desolation that follows. "

― Sabaa Tahir , A ​Sky Beyond the Storm (An Ember in the Ashes, #4)
