What with her sparkly eyes and animated, gesticulated hands, her beautiful blonde hair cascading down gracefully like silk and her eyes so electric and cheeks the colour of rose.

The mood shifted, the light, playful air between us dissolving.”

The victory will only be sweeter knowing how much you want me while I do it.”

“It seemed strange to me, to suddenly be so protective of the rights of refusal of a girl I was dying to sink my teeth into, a girl who would probably love to see me crawl and beg and suffer. But I decided on the spot that if I was going to be a monster, I was going to be an elegant one, like my beloved De Lafontaine. There was no sense descending into an animalistic frenzy without the full agreement of my blood donor; there was no art in it, no beauty. And I would die before I sacrificed art and beauty. Life simply wasn't worth living if it wasn't by those principles.”

― Anna Burke, In the Roses of Pieria: Library Edition

“I love you, but I can't hold you here. I won't. You're free, and you don't belong to me, or to anyone. If you stay, stay because you want to. It's not love if you aren't free to choose it.”
― Rose Sutherland, A Sweet Sting of Salt

“I didn’t think you’d be afraid of me,” Wist said.
“You’re the one who’s afraid of me,” I insisted. My voice sounded thin.

― Hiyodori, The Lowest Healer and the Highest Mage

“Do you remember, darling
A year ago today
When we gave ourselves to each other
Before you went away
At the end of that pleasant summer weather
Which we had spent by the sea together?

How little we knew, my darling,
All that the year would bring!
Did I think of the wretched mornings
When I should kiss my ring
And long with all my heart to see
The girl who gave the ring to me?

We have not been sorry darling
We loved each other so-
We will not take back the promises
We made a year ago-

And so again, my darling
I give myself to you,
With graver thought than a year ago
With love that is deep and true.”
― Sarah Orne Jewett

“Some bleed ink. I set the pages on fire.”
