" I write to you not as a High Lord, but as a male in love with a woman who was once human. I write to you to beg you to act quickly. To save her people — to help save my own. I write to you so one day we might know true peace. So I might one day be able to live in a world where the woman I love may visit her family without fear of hatred and reprisal. A better world. "

― Sarah J. Maas , A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2)
