Day 4 - Quote Day!
I love quotes, so thank you @originalficfest for doing a quote day :D I’ll do both quotes about/by the character that could represent them, and external quotes that remind me of them :D All about Dreams and Shadows, of course! Some of these are a bit stupid but whatever :P

Ava || Last Night I lost the World and Gained the Universe. — C. Joybell C.
- “I’m not two anymore, of course I do?! Can’t you just leave me alone?” - I stare at her in the most hostile way I can manage. - As soon as I enter the Sanctuary I forget the pains and fears of the last days. - If only Ben were here with me. - Have I ever been this angry?
Ben || No one heals himself by wounding another. — Ambrose of Milan
- Where’s Ava? - It’s not even been ten minutes since I got up — or, well, fell down— and now I’m going insane, already? - I’m trying my best. - Who am I, now? A ghost, not real, just a dream?
Fiyare || The true warrior isn’t immune to fear. She fights in spite of it. — Francesca Lia Block
- ‘She is under my protection. Leave, before I make you.’
Azrae || I’m tough, I’m ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay. — Madonna
- They seem much nicer when they don’t look so serious. - Azrae just shakes their head. - They smirk. - “— Stop, Az”, Iuri mutters warningly, “look at her. Don’t scare her more than you need to.”
Iuri || Live, Laugh, Love, and if that doesn’t work, Load, Aim and Fire.
- She has a lot of laugh lines around her eyes and I like her even though I can’t say why. - She smiles brightly and looks questioningly at Azrae. - “Hey, did you hear that, Az? She likes it! I told you—” - Iuri smiles. “Let me show you.”
Liz || The question isn’t ‘Who’s going to let me’, it’s ‘Who’s going to stop me?’ — Ayn Rand
- “All right, then”, she says, stepping toward the door. For a moment Doctor White looks as if she’s going to protest again but she only sees Mama’s stare, and retreats. - It’s kind of normal for Mom to do that, she’s generally not the touchy-feely type.
Jon || It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply. — D.J.
- Papa looks as if he’d fall over if anyone took away the wall. - I hear the pain in his voice (and the unspoken need to smash something).
Kiyera || The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do. — Anonymus
I look at the people standing around me one last time and notice an older woman who looks more dishevelled than the others. There is something about her, something broken that I’ve seen in my parents from time to time (but never as pronounced). She looks as if she’s lost everything, as if something so bad has happened that it still eats away at her.
