1 " We are more than what's been done to us. We are more then our anger. "
― Claire Legrand , Kingsbane (Empirium, #2)
2 " I don’t love you,” she whispered, the lie bitter on her tongue. “I refuse to love you.” “I know,” he said and held her to him, stroking her hair. “I don’t love you either. "
3 " It’s unfair that you should have to bear so much.” “Me? Or women? "
4 " Like the sun and the moon. Like day and night. I am the shore and you are the sea, my darling. The wild, wild sea - ever-changing and mighty. I need your passion, and you need something steady to come home to. An anchor, warm and sunlit. "
5 " We are the light against the darkness, and we must continue to burn brightly, so others may find their way out. "
6 " It is a great responsibility, to be trusted with another’s heart. "
7 " We fight until we can’t find anymore, and then we die, and none of it will matter anyway. "
8 " The mind is fragile, and time is pitiless. "
9 " I’ve looked at you so many times that I see you when I close my eyes. I can’t shake you. "
10 " Now that I’ve known a life with you by my side, I’m not sure I could bear that kind of loneliness again. "
11 " You are the light of the world, and you will guide us home. "
12 " Papa one told me that, when I lay dying - because someday I will, we will we all - I must not think of the things that frighten me, and I must not think of my pain. I must think of everyone and everything I have ever loved, for if I do that, those thoughts will follow me into death, and that far black place will turn bright and golden, as the world long ago used to be. "
13 " I am myself. My mind is my own. And I am not afraid. "
14 " He was the steady voice in her mind that spoke to her when she didn't feel steady at all. "
15 " How utterly strange to see pieces of her own face on this stranger. To know that this person she had never seen before had given her life. Trying to wrap her mind around the concept felt like trying to circle her arms around the entire world. "
16 " She felt, simply, like a girl lucky enough to know what it was to be loved, and she clung to that feeling as fiercely as she could. "
17 " With every slam of his boots against the floor, his mind chanted one furious word—a curse, a plea, a prayer. Eliana. Eliana. Eliana. "
18 " I am a force unconquerable. "
19 " He sensed her praying, which she wasn’t good at, because she hated God. "
20 " He touched her as if she were pristine, as if her hair were silk. "
