Quote by James S.A. Corey

“Youth brought invulnerability, immortality, the unshakeable conviction that for you, things would be different, the laws of physics would cut you a break. The missiles would never hit...Maybe for other people...But not for you. And when youth was lucky enough to survive its optimism, all Miller had left was a little fear, a little envy, and the overwhelming sense of life's fragility.”

“You need to get your head out of the clouds and see the reality right in front of your face, Kara. My enemies have become yours which means you aren’t going anywhere.” Before she could reply, he crashed his mouth over hers, plunging his tongue into her mouth when she gasped, and he finally kissed her the way he’d been dreaming about.”
