Quote by Emiko Jean

“Are you done fighting for me?" Humiliation inches up my spine; it bleeds through me at Akio's silence. At last, he opens his mouth and speaks. "Never. I'll never be done fighting for you. How can I? I love you, and you fight for the things you love.”

“God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man. In truth, I know it is a sin to be a mocker, but he! why, he hath a horse better than the Neapolitan’s, a better bad habit of frowning than the Count Palentine; he is every man in no man. If a throstle sing, he falls straight a-cap’ring. He will fence with his own shadow. If I should marry him, I should marry twenty husbands.”
