( into the darkness they go )

"Fear is just a game, Shiori, I reminded myself. You win by playing." - elizabeth lim, six crimson cranes

"They don’t tell you this part in the storybooks. They go on and on about true love, even though no one can explain what it is. They don’t tell you where your hands go when Prince Charming just wants to fool around. They don’t tell you that his red, wet, wanting mouth is the ruby fruit, nor whether it’s poison or bliss—or both." ― gina chen, violet made of thorns

“You are like a living rose among wax flowers. We may last forever, but you bloom brighter and smell sweeter, and draw blood with your thorns.” ― margaret rogerson, an enchantment of ravens

“I don't believe in anything that supposes it knows me better than I know myself.” ― gina chen, violet made of thorns

"Nothing extraordinary is ever done out of reason or logic, but because it’s the only way for your soul to breathe." - the girl who fell beneath the sea, axie oh
