“When you love someone as much as that, you don't believe they can die. You think your love protects them. Even if he doesn't come back, even if he gets lost in the snow or is hit by a stray bullet, she'll wait for him.” LoveAffectionIreneHeleneReuss Book:The Wine of Solitude Source: The Wine of Solitude
“For there comes a time in life when the pity previously reserved only for children takes on a different form, a time when we study the faces of 'old people' and sense that one day we will be just like them. And that is the moment when early childhood comes to an end.” ChildhoodSolitudeWineParisOldHeleneKarol Book:The Wine of Solitude Source: The Wine of Solitude
“How many in Antium lost those beloved to them when the Karkauns attacked? How many like Dex, who hide who they love because the Empire would kill them for it? How many like Laia, betrayed and then left to claw her way through her pain? How many like me, Shrike, pining for someone who no longer exists? You are lucky enough to love someone who loves you back. He is alive and breathing and in the same vicinity as you. By the skies, do something about it. However long you have. For whatever time you get. Because if you don't, I swear that you'll regret it. You'll regret it for all your years.” MusaHelene Author:Sabaa Tahir
