“Nothing cuts deeper than when another person says exactly what you're afraid to say out loud.”

“More than honor, more than life, I love thee." What do you say when a man whose entire existence had been his honor offers to give it up for you? You say the only thing you can.More than any crown or throne or title, I love thee," I said. "more than any power in faerie, I love thee.”

“His parting shot to me had been, "I don't want to love someone who is more at home with the monsters than I am." What do you say to that? What can you say? Damned if I know. They say love conquers everything. They lie.”

“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.”

“What is love? Sometimes it's just letting yourself be who and what you are, and letting the person you're supposed to love be who and what he is too. Or maybe what and who they are.”

“If you fear nothing, then you are not brave. You are merely too foolish to be afraid.”

“They say not to look back, but if you’re not sure what lies ahead, what else is there but looking back?”
