Marija

“Gola istina je, da kad sam voleo Estelu ljubavlju čoveka, voleo sam je prosto zato što je za mene bila neodoljiva. Jednom zauvek, znao sam na svoju žalost, često, iako ne uvek, da sam je voleo nasuprot razumu, nasuprot obećanju, nasuprot miru, nasuprot nadi, nasuprot sreći, nasuprot svim obeshrabrenjima. Jednom zauvek, nisam je voleo ništa manje zato što sam sve ovo znao, i to me nije ništa više obuzdavalo, nego da sam predano verovao da je ona ljudsko savršenstvo.”
― Čarls Dikens, Velika ocekivanja

“Accept the pain, but don't accept that you deserved it.”

“I’m going to go back and stop your son from killing her.”
The queen’s face fell. For a moment, she looked as old as the years she’d spent lying in a suspended state. “That is not a small mistake to fix. If you do this, Time will take something equally valuable from you.”
The Fate gave the queen a look more vicious than any curse. “There is nothing of equal value to me.”
― Stephanie Garber, The Ballad of Never After
