“No mourners, no funerals. Another way of saying good luck. But it was something more. A dark wink to the fact that there would be no expensive burials for people like them, no marble markers to remember their names, no wreaths of myrtle and rose.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

“No, the opposite of happiness is hopelessness, an endless gray horizon of resignation and indifference.3 It’s the belief that everything is fucked, so why do anything at all?”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“Love. I sigh. Love is joy coupled with misery, elation bound to despair. It is a fire that beckons me gently and then burns when I get too close. I hate love. I yearn for it. And it drives me mad.”
― Sabaa Tahir, A Reaper at the Gates

“Pain makes you strong, Madoc once told me, making me lift a sword again and again. Get used to the weight.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King
