“He heard the opening being shut like a trap, and his heart almost stopped beating, for this was the Fairies’ home…”
“Because home is where your heart is. And one heart can work wonders when it's beating strongly. And the sweet fairy tales can become true”
“By dint of waiting, he hoped his heart would wear out and stop beating. What other way was there to stop loving someone?”
“He felt like his own heart might stop beating just from acknowledging the concept. The sadness, the sorrow, and the loss, they were living things, funnily enough.”
“In this place of light: he dares to liveWho stops being a bird, yet beats his wingsAgainst the immense immeasurable emptiness of things.”
“Heart broken-he felt a deep ache in his chest, like that of a sore muscle, and each beat of his heart pained him”
