1 " She was not who she wanted to be. And not only did she not know how to make herself over into someone else, she wasn’t even sure who she wanted to become. "
― Sharon Shinn , Jeweled Fire (Elemental Blessings, #3)
2 " But don't you want that?" [Corene] asked, and even she could hear the wistfulness in her voice. "Love? Someone who waits for you at the door, someone whose day isn't complete unless she sees your face? Someone who will love you even when you're angry, even when you're ugly, even when you don't love yourself? Doesn't everybody want that? "
3 " She was a child of fire, after all: wayward and unpredictable and sometimes dangerous. She could wreak havoc or she could beat back the darkness; it was all in how she chose to employ her intelligence, her skill. She might allow herself to be controlled, but only when it suited her own ends. She must never forget that she had the power to forge her own destiny.(pg. 280) "
