1 " His eyes darkened. He edged toward her. "And how am I a farce?""You told me in your own words the night we formally met that you play the role of a gentleman for a reason, and that it has nothing to do with respectability. Which leads me to conclude that you are hiding behind the illusion of perfection you create for the sole purpose of misleading others. Because there is no perfect life, my lord. Just as there is no perfect gentleman. Lie to yourself and to those who feast on your illusion, but do not lie to me. "
― Delilah Marvelle , The Perfect Scandal (Scandal, #3)
2 " No matter how fearless we believe ourselves to be, there will always be something capable of causing every heart to quake. Recognizing one's fears and facing them will not necessarily eradicate those fears, but it will gift the soul with a renewed strength to enable it to survive. "
3 " Imagine a person being called upon by all of society to speak a language they have never even heard of. Imagine that same person being told they must speak this language or lose all they hold dear. It's neither fair or realistic, in theory, and yet, such is the role women play when becoming wives. Though love may not always assist a woman in speaking the same language as her husband, it will offer assistance in one of the most demanding roles known to humanity. Honor love, even if your marriage is one of convenience. "
