1 " Little princess, lovely as the dawn, well named Aurore. "
― , Beauty Sleep
2 " Oswald: "All your life"Aurore: "What?"Oswald: "All your life, isn't that what you wanted to know? How long I loved you?"Aurore: "Well, yes, I suppose I did, but that wasn't what I was going to ask just now."Oswald: "I tell you I've loved you since the day you were born, and you tell me you want to know something else. There's no one quite like you, is there, Aurore? "
3 " Thinking about dark and troublesome things, wondering when they'll come to pay you a visit, turns out to be the very best way to call them to your side. "
4 " I think the worst part is that when you know you dream another person's dream, you can never truly feel at peace. Never truly trust yourself. If you carry around somebody else's nightmare, who knows what else your insides might hide or when it might come out? "
5 " A cornered animal is almost as dangerous as a wounded one. "
6 " I am not a fool just because the whole world thinks I look like one. "
7 " Stories are tricky things, aren't they? "
8 " Because, as even the world's clumsiest weaver can tell you, you can't pull one thread without affecting all the others. "
9 " Would make me blind to the needs of my country, while you and these others, having only love for country and none for my daughter, must be considered neutral? "
10 " The power of her magic had snatched me from death. But it was the power of my own love which would give me the life I wanted. "
11 " And the thing about understanding yourself, knowing your true colors, is that you have to be true to them. For if you don't, they change, and so do you. "
12 " May you keep what you hold in your heart safe and strong. "
13 " But seeing someone is not the same as knowing them. "
14 " In that moment, I both lost and gained myself.I ceased to be Aurore and yet became her, too. For, with my heart joined with Oswald's, I became more of what I was. All the empty spaces within me filled to the brim, yet never overflowing. For true love always knows its own measure. And it is the measure of two hearts, combined.Two hearts who need no other magic than what they hold inside them, for they have learned to beat as one. "
15 " Whatever my destiny is, it's mine and nobody else's. "
16 " But this child is not worth unraveling the world for. No one is. "
17 " For true love comes when it will, not when it is called. "
18 " It still beat with a trip and a hammer, for that is the way a heart must go. But, whereas before it had woven only dark things when it dwelled upon my cousin, now within the fabric of my heart there ran, for him and him alone, one single strand of pure, untarnishable gold. "
19 " Even a fool could become dangerous when armed with a secret. "
20 " My power casts down your power, if only for a moment. Your pain replaces mine. "
