Quote by Pierce Brown

“I lie there with my eyes closed, listening to her hum. It's a song I know. It's a song I hear in dreams. The echo of my love's death. The song sung by the one they call Persephone. Hummed by an Aureate, an echo of Eo's dream. I weep. If ever I've felt there was a God, it is now as I listen to the mournful chords. My wife is dead, but something of hers lingers still.”

“Twenty years from now, when I’ll become super-successful, very hot old man in an on-point outfit, being chauffeured in a limo. And you’ll be wrinkly and fat and poor after losing all your money in shopping and charity. You’ll still be unbelievably out of my league… just like you were in the past. And just like you’re today. — Siddhartha Aggarwal”

“I don’t know how long I sit there, tears trickling quietly down my cheeks, gazing at the deep blue sky. My friend Riti says, whatever we manifest from the moon, star, water, and nature, the universe conspires to make that wish come true. Now when I’m in the core of nature, sitting under the moon, watching two trails of silver light streak through the stars, my feet hanging in the river, I close my eye and wish just this. Because right now, this is everything. He is everything. I don’t want this to be bad, and I don’t want this to be nothing. I want this to last forever. I want us to last forever.”

“I can give away my whole loveless life for this one moment. Pure like a child and fresh like spring. There’s no better way to love than this. To love foolishly. To love in the moment, with everything you have. Everyone who came before, all the heartbreak and the love before falling in love with him, the recklessness of this moment has made them all meaningless.”
