Gnight. This moment will pass. This fatigue will pass. Tonight will pass. But look at you, with the gift of imagination. You can teleport to where you're happiest just by closing your eyes and breathing. Then come right back to now, check in with the present. You magic thing, you.

Gmorning. This feeling will pass. This workload will pass. These people will pass. But look at you, with the gift of memory. You can time travel to the good stuff just by closing your eyes & breathing. Then come right back to now, eyes up for the good stuff ahead. You magic thing.

Beautiful Quotes from The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”
“He is half of my soul, as the poets say.”
“I am made of memories.”
“He is a weapon, a killer. Do not forget it. You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature.”
“He smiled, and his face was like the sun.”
“I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.”
“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.”
“Bring him back to me."

Star Quotes from Jennifer L. Armentrout's Origin Series
“That was what I wanted at some point in my life, for someone to look at me like I looked at tacos.”
“His shirt read MUGGLE IN THE STREETS, WIZARD IN THE SHEETS.”
“There's nothing we can do other than live with the promise of tomorrow while knowing it may not come.”
“Did you love her, Luc?” “With every breath I take.”
“We were all dark stars, but Luc... he was the darkest."
“I don’t care what you call me as long as you call me yours.”
“It’s only ever been you. Before. Now. Later. There’s been no one else. There… just can’t be.”
“I am not walking away again. If I kiss you, if I touch you again, I will not be able to go back to the way things are now.” The next breath he took trembled as much as I was. “I won’t be able to pretend that you aren’t my everything”
“By the way, just going to remind you that you told me last night you missed me.” “I must’ve been high.” “On my presence.”
“You’re real, Evie. It doesn’t matter who you used to be or who you thought you were. You are real, and I see you.”
“Even if you wake up and you don’t know who you are and you don’t know who I am, it’ll be okay. I’ll be here, and I’ll help you remember.” His lips brushed my forehead. “I’ve got enough love for you that I’m overflowing with it. It’ll be more than enough if you wake up and see me as a stranger. No matter how you come back to me, as Evie or as Nadia or someone else, I’ll still love you like I do now, like I did yesterday and the day before, and that’ll be enough. I’ll still love you.”
“There is humor in everything. If we forget that, we lose everything.”
“What-ifs are the STDs of the mind,” he said, squeezing me when I laughed. “Seriously. They’re pointless, and they end with you wanting to take a wire brush to your brain. Don’t waste your time there.”
“We didn’t come all this way, survive all we have, only to lose each other again,” he said. “You won’t allow that. I know you won’t, but if you can’t believe in that yet, then believe in me until you can.”
"I’m yours. You’re mine. That means when you go toe to toe with anyone or anything, you go to battle with me beside you, and if I go down fighting to back you up, there won’t be a single part of me that regrets that.”

Gmorning! You're gonna make mistakes. You're gonna fail. You're gonna get back up. You're gonna break hearts. You're gonna change minds. You're gonna make noise. You're gonna make music. You're gonna be late, let's GO. Gnight! You're gonna fall down. You're gonna be tested. You're gonna learn about yourself. You're gonna get brave. You're gonna take stands. You're gonna make waves. You're gonna make history. You're gonna need rest, REST UP.

Real or not real? Quotes from Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
“You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real.”
“It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.”
“Well, don't expect us to be too impressed. We just saw Finnick Odair in his underwear.”
“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”
“Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”
“You're a painter. You're a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces.”
“Some walks you have to take alone.”
“I think....you still have no idea. The effect you can have.”
“Closing my eyes doesn't help. Fire burns brighter in the darkness.”
“They'll either want to kill you, kiss you, or be you.”
“There's a chance that the old Peeta, the one who loves you, is still inside. Trying to get back to you. Don't give up on him.”

Quotes that wrecked me from Catching Fire
“I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever.”
“You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him.”
“My nightmares are usually about losing you. I'm okay once I realize you're here.”
“I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.”
“I always channel my emotions into my work. That way, I don't hurt anyone but myself.”
“I do think you're mad and I'll still go with you.”
"Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven't looked pretty?" I say. “It must be. The sensation's completely new. How have you managed it all these years?" he asks. "Just avoid mirrors. You'll forget about it," I say. "Not if I keep looking at you," he says.”
“At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead. The hard thing is finding the courage to do it.”
“I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.”
“Aim higher in case you fall short.”
“But I feel as if I did know Rue, and she'll always be with me. Everything beautiful brings her to mind. I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the Mockingjays that sing in the trees. But most of all, I see her in my sister, Prim.”
“I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you.”
“Remember, girl on fire,” he says, “I'm still betting on you.”
“Tick, tock.”
"I need you.”

Best Quotes from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
“What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?” “Oh no, Ron,” came Fred’s voice, very sarcastically. “No, this is exactly where we wanted to end up.” (Fred Weasley, page 17)
"I shudder to think what the state of my in-tray would be if I was away from work for five days." "Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?" said Fred. "That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!" said Percy, going very red in the face. "It was nothing personal!" "It was," Fred whispered to Harry as they got up from the table. "We sent it.” (Percy and Fred Weasley, page 26)
“Anyone can speak Troll. All you have to do is point and grunt.” (Fred Weasley, page 36)
“I’m never wearing them," Ron was saying stubbornly. "Never." "Fine," snapped Mrs. Weasley. "Go naked. And, Harry, make sure you get a picture of him. Goodness knows I could do with a laugh.” (Ron and Mrs. Weasley, page 63)
“You’re JOKING!” said Fred Weasley loudly. The tension that had filled the Hall ever since Moody’s arrival suddenly broke. Nearly everyone laughed, and Dumbledore chuckled appreciatively. “I am not joking, Mr. Weasley,” he said, “though now that you mention it, I did hear an excellent one over the summer about a troll, a hag, and a leprechaun who all go into a bar...” Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly. “Er — but maybe this is not the time... no...” said Dumbledore.” (Fred Weasley and Dumbledore, page 75)
“Hello, Professor McGonagall,” said Moody calmly, bouncing the ferret still higher. “What — what are you doing?” said Professor McGonagall, her eyes following the bouncing ferret’s progress through the air. “Teaching,” said Moody. “Teach — Moody, is that a student?” shrieked Professor McGonagall, the books spilling out of her arms. “Yep,” said Moody. “Moody, we never use Transfiguration as a punishment!” said Professor McGonagall weakly.” (Moody & Professor McGonagall, page 82)
“Don't talk to me." "Why not?" "Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret...” (Ron to Harry, page 83)
“It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.” (Page 128)
“Oh you is a bad elf, Dobby!” (Winky, 154)
“Percy wouldn't notice a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing one of Dobby's hats.” (Ron, page 155)
“Who're you going with, then?" said Ron. "Angelina," said Fred promptly, without a trace of embarrassment. "What?" said Ron, taken aback. "You've already asked her?" "Good point," said Fred. He turned his head and called across the common room, "Oi! Angelina!" Angelina, who had been chatting with Alicia Spinnet near the fire, looked over at him. "What?" She called back. "Want to come to the ball with me?" Angelina gave Fred a sort of appraising look. "All right, then," she said, and she turned back to Alicia and carried on chatting with a bit of a grin on her face. "There you go," said Fred to Harry and Ron, "piece of cake.” (Ron, Fred, & Angelina, page 159)
“Just because it’s taken you three years to notice, Ron, doesn't mean no one else has spotted I'm a girl!” (Hermione, page 161)
“I took a wrong turn on the way to the bathroom and found myself in a beautifully proportioned room I had never seen before, containing a really rather magnificent collection of chamberpots. When I went back to investigate more closely, I discovered that the room had vanished. But I must keep an eye out for it. Possibly it is only accessible at five thirty in the morning. Or it may only appear at the quarter moon - or when the seeker has an exceptionally full bladder.” (Dumbledore, page 168)
“I have gone temporarily deaf and haven't any idea what you said, Harry.” (Dumbledore, page 183)
“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” (Sirius, page 212)
“I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind.” (Dumbledore, page 242)
“You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!” (Dumbledore, page 286)
“Constant vigilance!” (Moody, page 86)
“It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies.” (Dumbledore, page 291)
“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” (Dumbledore, page 292)
“Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.” (Dumbledore, page 292)
“Time will not slow down when something unpleasant lies ahead.” (Page 296)

Fire quotes from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
“Why were you lurking under our window?“ "Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were you doing under our windows, boy?” “Listening to the news,” said Harry in a resigned voice. His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage. “Listening to the news! Again?” “Well, it changes every day, you see,” said Harry.” (Aunt Petunia & Uncle Vernon to Harry, page 3)
“This is night, Diddykins. That’s what we call it when it goes all dark like this.” (Harry, page 7)
“Don’t put your wand there, boy! … Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!” (Moody, page 23)
“Harry, I’ve left a letter telling your aunt and uncle not to worry–“ "They won’t,” said Harry. “That you’re safe–” “That’ll just depress them.” “–and you’ll see them next summer.” “Do I have to?” (Lupin and Harry, page 26)
“But Dumbledore says he doesn’t care what they do as long as they don’t take him off the Chocolate Frog cards.” (Bill Weasley, page 45)
“Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure.” (Luna, page 87)
“I’ll make Goyle do lines, it’ll kill him, he hates writing,” said Ron happily. He lowered his voice to Goyle’s low grunt and, screwing up his face in a look of pained concentration, mimed writing in midair. “I… must… not… look… like… a… baboon’s… backside.” (Ron, page 88)
“Don’t worry. You’re just as sane as I am.” (Luna, page 93)
“Ask us no questions and we’ll tell you no lies.” (Fred Weasley, page 106)
“Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?” “Yes.” “You called her a liar?” “Yes.” “You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?” “Yes.” “Have a biscuit, Potter.” (Professor McGonagall to Harry, page 116)
“Did you see me disarm Hermione, Harry?” “Only once” said Hermione stung. “I got you loads more then you got me—” “I did not only get you once, I got you at least three times—” “Well if you’re counting the one where you tripped over your own feet and knocked the wand out of my hand—” (Ron and Hermione to Harry, page 186)
“Mistletoe,” said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clump of white berries placed almost over Harry’s head. He jumped out from under it. “Good thinking,” said Luna seriously. “It’s often infested with nargles.” (Luna, page 213)
“Ron,” said Hermione in a dignified voice, “you are the most insensitive wart I have ever had the misfortune to meet.” (Hermione, page 215)
“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have.” (Hermione, page 216)
“You don’t understand — there are things worth dying for!” (Sirius, page 224)
“The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter… or at least, most minds are…” (Snape, page 249)
“You should write a book,” Ron told Hermione as he cut up his potatoes, “translating mad things girls do so boys can understand them.” (Ron to Hermione, page 269)
“Well, usually when a person shakes their head,” said McGonagall coldly, “they mean ‘no.’ So unless Miss Edgecombe is using a form of sign language as yet unknown to humans…” (Professor McGonagall, page 289)
“Well it’s just that you seem to be labouring under the delusion that I am going to – come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course – but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.” (Dumbledore, page 291)
“Did you like question ten, Moony?” asked Sirius as they emerged into the entrance hall. “Loved it,” said Lupin briskly. “Give five signs that identify the werewolf. Excellent question.” “D'you think you managed to get all the signs?” said James in tones of mock concern. “Think I did,” said Lupin seriously, as they joined the crowd thronging around the front doors eager to get out into the sunlit grounds. “One: He’s sitting on my chair. Two: He’s wearing my clothes. Three: His name’s Remus Lupin…” (Sirius, Lupin, & James, page 302)
“Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.” (Ginny, page 308)
“Give her hell from us, Peeves.” (Fred Weasley, page 317)
“Harry witnessed Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, ‘It unscrews the other way.” (Page 319)
“From now on, I don’t care if my tea leaves spell 'Die, Ron, Die,’ I’m chucking them in the bin where they belong.” (Ron, page 337)
“Accio Brain!” (Ron, page 374)
“You do care,” said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.” (Dumbledore, page 387)
“By all means continue destroying my possessions. I daresay I have too many.” (Dumbledore, page 387)
“Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.” (Dumbledore, page 388)

A Court of Silver Flames... favorite quotes and where to find them
and of course, the credit for these works of art go to my favorite author of all time... the amazing, talented Sarah J. Maas.
- "Let her dig her own grave, boy. Then offer her a hand." "I thought that's what this past year has been," he'd countered. "Keep reaching out your hand." (Amren & Cassian, page 82)
- "The feared general, felled by seasonal allergies." (Rhys, page 162)
- "Whatever you need to throw at me, I can take it. I won't break." (Cassian, page 214)
- "I cannot survive without reading." (Nesta, page 302)
- "Never again. Never again would she be weak. Never again would she be at someone's mercy. Never again would she fail. Never again, never again, never again." (Nesta, page 402)
- "Stop being such a busybody, Cursebreaker." (Cassian to Feyre, page 428)
- "This is a bad idea." Cassian winked. "That should be written on the Night Court crest." (Rhys & Cassian, page 448)
- "I am going to tell you that you will get through it. That you will face this, and you will get through it. That these tears are good, Nesta. These tears mean you care. I am going to tell you that it is not too late, not for any of it. And I can't tell you when, or how, but it will get better. What you feel, this guilt and pain and self-loathing- you will get through it. But only if you are willing to fight. Only if you are willing to face it, and embrace it, and walk through it, to emerge on the other side of it. And maybe you will still feel that tinge of pain, but there is another side. A better side.” (Cassian, page 505)
- "But I still don't know how to fix myself." "There's nothing broken to be fixed." (Nesta & Cassian, page 506)
- "She had not failed. She had faced it and survived. She might not have saved the world or led armies, but she had made this small, initial step." (Nesta, page 575)
- "For it was music between their souls. Always had been. And his voice was her favorite melody." (Nesta, page 610)
- "I wish for us to have the courage to go out into the world when we are ready, but to always be able to find our way back to each other. No matter what.” (Nesta, page 619)
- "I am the rock against which the surf crashes." Nesta straightened at the words, as if they were a prayer and a summons. Gwyn lifted the blade. "Nothing can break me." (Gwyn, page 621)
- "See you tomorrow, Shadowsinger." (Gwyn, page 624)
- "The world was beautiful, and she was so grateful to be in it. To be alive, to be here, to see this. She stuck out a hand over the railing, grazing a star as it shot past, and her fingers came away glowing with blue and green dust. She laughed, a sound of pure joy, and she cried more, because that joy was a miracle." (Nesta, page 631)
- "That's the key, isn't it? To know the darkness will always remain, but how you choose to face it, handle it... that's the important part. To not let it consume. To focus upon the good, the things that fill you with wonder." She gestured to the stars zooming past. "The struggle with that darkness is worth it, just to see such things." (Amren to Nesta, page 633)
- "But if she did fall... he'd be waiting for her at the top again. Hand outstretched. She didn't deserve it, but she'd endeavor to be worthy of him." (Nesta, page 645)
- "I want to take the road that no one dares travel, and I want to travel it with you two. No matter what may befall us. Not as Illyrians, not for their titles but as something new . To prove to them, to everyone, that something new and different might triumph over their rules and restrictions.” (Gwyn, page 693)
- "I have been broken once before," Gwyn said, her voice clear. "I survived it. And I will not be broken again - not even by this mountain." (Gwyn, page 694)
- "She would not fail her friends. She had no room for fear in her heart. Only calm. Determination. And love." (Nesta, 708)
