Love was the past and the future. Life was all those things and everything in between.”

“Maybe he was his own star. Maybe he had the power to grant his own wishes.”

Dream by Natalia Jaster

“Where will you find us? Foolish and wise A fate, we make As Spring blossoms rise When will you know us? Maddened and banned A choice, we make Salted Summer sand Where will you seek us? Simple and free A fight, we make Autumn’s acorn tree When will you hear us? Hands held, not bound A wish, we make Winter’s snowfall crowned...”

“Girls like her didn’t merit their own stories, much less earn happy endings. They neither reaped the glory, nor enticed the honest, noble knight. They weren’t meek enough, or gentle enough, to be rewarded. To be desired. To be loved. That’s what fairytales wanted the world to think. Because usually, fairytales were stupid. But not this one. This tale was different.”

“The evil world expected me to curl up in the corner like a seashell—silent and small and breakable—forgetting that a seashell held the roar of an entire ocean inside it. I didn’t need a voice, only my teeth and my dreams to save me.”

“I’ve enjoyed suffering with you. We are a tale for campfires. That is all. That is everything.”
