“It takes courage to let down your armor, to welcome people to see you as you are. Sometimes I feel the same as you: I can’t risk having people behold me as I truly am. But there’s also a small voice in the back of my mind, a voice that tells me, “You will miss so much by being so guarded.”
― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

“Stories are a way to preserve one's self. To be remembered. And to forget.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Hesitation is the death of advantage.”
― Victoria Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
