Quote by Sarah J. Maas

“I feel nothing, Nesta said silently. Only the sight of Feyre on Death's threshold kept her from forgetting why she was here, what she needed to do. Is that not what you wanted? To feel nothing? I thought that was what I wanted. Nesta surveyed the people around her. Her sisters, Cassian, who had been willing to plunge a dagger into his heart rather than harm her. But no longer. When the female voice didn't press her, Nesta went on, I want to feel everything. I want to embrace it with my whole heart. Even the things that hurt and hunt you? Only curiosity laced the question. Nesta allowed herself a breath to ponder it, stilling her mind once more. We need those things in order to appreciate the good. Some days might be more difficult than others, but... I want to experience all of it, live through all of it. With them. The wise, soft voice whispered, So live, Nesta Archeron.”

“Of course Mary Jane and Sam were there with Nugget, Cha Cha's golden retriever mix we rescued from a disgusting pen at a house out in Pasadena. Eileen and Harry Silvers came with their poodle, Zizi, and Venus with her Yorkshire, Macho. Lester and his wife, Bambi, brought Grindel, a beagle mix they adopted from the shelter. And with one of Rosemary's friend's corgi, and a shepherd mix, and a spaniel, plus Sugar and Spice, we had nine dogs in all. What we didn't have were any children since I'd made it clear to everyone that things would probably be hectic enough without a bunch of screaming kids fooling with the dogs and demanding attention.”

“When words start to fade, we move closer, and everything else dissolves. The waves, the world, even time itself. We kiss, and it’s slow and soft, soaking in each other's touch. When we finally make love, it’s not desperate—it’s peaceful. A promise without words. A memory we both know will last.”

“... la maggior parte di noi è più brava nella spontaneità che nell'autodisciplina. Troviamo abbastanza facile lasciarci distrarre e molto più difficile spostare l'interesse e la concentrazione su ciò che sappiamo di dover fare. Non rinunciare alla spontaneità, dunque. E, per favore, non sacrificate la gioia e la flessibilità. Limitatevi a migliorare sul fronte dell'autodisciplina, un'abilità da coltivare se non si sa passare all'azione quando è necessario.”
