The lovely creature I would so treasure, And feast myself deep on her tender thigh, I would drink of her red blood full measure, Then howl till the night went by. Even a har.. | steppenwolf | Hermann Hesse | |

| 813ba3f | How I used to love the dark, sad evenings of late autumn and winter, how eagerly I imbibed their moods of loneliness and melancholy when wrapped in my cloak I strode for half the night through rain and storm, through the leafless winter landscape, lonely enough then too, but full of deep joy, and full of poetry which later I wrote down by candlelight sitting on the edge of my bed! | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 99aa1e6 | I can never get used to the fact, though I know it, that women are born cynics. Men have to learn cynicism. Infant girls could teach it to them. | women sexism | Ursula K. Le Guin | |

| 437f1e5 | She thought about how it was to have been a woman in the prime of life, with children and a man, and then to lose all that, becoming old and a widow, powerless. But even so she did not feel she understood his shame, his agony of humiliation. Perhaps only a man could feel so. A woman got used to shame. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||

A woman whose friends were equally willing to play along, to rip their souls to shreds if it meant saving the greater population. They knew the weight of the lives panicking around them if they gambled wrong. Aelin perhaps more than anyone else. Aelin and Rolfe stalked through the open tavern doorway and into the street.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 4649ec3 | And he had the nerve once his powers were back to shove me into a cage. The nerve to say I was no longer useful; I was to be cloistered for his peace of mind. He'd given me everything I needed to become myself, to feel safe, and when he got what he wanted--when he got his power back, his lands back ... he stopped trying. He was still good, still Tamlin, but he was just ... wrong. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| babe926 | I twisted, my loose clothes sliding over my shoulders, my waist. I hadn't realized how much weight I'd lost. Despite things creeping back to normal.

Maas | ||
| 763c6f0 | You know how quickly this can end, Aelin," Maeve said. Aelin kept her eyes shut. "Tell me where you hid the Wyrdkeys, swear the blood oath ... The order doesn't matter, I suppose." Aelin opened her eyes. Lifted her bound hands before her. And gave Maeve an obscene gesture, as filthy and foul as she'd ever made." -- | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| c18f037 | Honestly, Dorian had no idea how Aelin had survived months of this--let alone fallen in love with the warrior while she did. Though he supposed both the queen and prince possessed a sadistic streak that made them compatible. Some | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 56753eb | You do what you love, what you need. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 593f076 | And who, exactly, told you this?" Rhys said with a lift of the brow, not showing one ounce of ire, of surprise. Steps sounded. But we all went for our weapons as Jurian strolled into the guardhouse and said, "I did." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 877fb3a | Where do men find it in themselves to do such monstrous things? How do they find it acceptable? "We'll make them pay for it in the end." Celaena grasped Ansel's hand. The girl squeezed back. "We'll see to it that they pay." "Yes." Ansel shifted her gaze back to the stars. "Yes, we will." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 3572b19 | Afraid she and I had a summer romance?" That insufferable grin was still there. "I hope you did. I certainly enjoyed myself this summer." The smile faded at that. "What do you mean?" She brushed an invisible fleck of dust off her red gown. "Let's just say that the son of the Mute Master was far more welcoming than the other Silent Assassins." | sam | Sarah J. Maas | |
| d1e3cb1 | The room behind me was dark. 'Thief,' intoned a lovely voice in the blackness... 'You have seen my twin,' the Weaver hissed softly-- with a hint of wonder. 'I smell him on you.'... Somewhere deep in the room, I FELT her move. Felt her stand. And take a step toward me. 'What are you,' the Weaver breathed. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 46e8ff8 | I didn't want you to feel inadequate, | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 843598b | She had looked at that cottage with hope; I had looked at it with nothing but hatred. And I knew which one of us had been stronger. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 6a47962 | Her wrath became a song in her blood as she ended them. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 65d92e5 | He supposed any lick of self-consciousness had been flayed from her under the whips of Endovier. Even though he'd tattooed over the bulk of the scars on her back, their ridges remained. The nightmares, too--when she'd still startle awake and light a candle to drive away the blackness they'd shoved her into, the memory of the lightless pits they'd used for punishment. His Fireheart, shut in the dark. | pg399 rowan-whitethorn | Sarah J. Maas | |

| 8e8c3ab | She would tuck Sam into her heart, a bright light for her to take out whenever things were darkest. And then she would remember how it had felt to be loved, when the world had held nothing but possibility. No matter what they did to her, they could never take that away. She would not break. | Sarah J. Maas |
