Ignite Me Quote Rp Meme
“Ignite, my love. Ignite.”
“It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world.”
"No. She's like a million years older than me."
“All of you. Your entire body.Proportionally. Symmetrically. You’re absurdly, mathematically perfect. It doesn’t even make sense
that a person could look like you,”
"Would anyone else like to take over this conversation?"
“And we are quotation marks, inverted and upside down, clinging to one another at the end of this life sentence. Trapped by lives we did not choose.”
“Come back to life, love. I'll be here when you wake up.”
“Hey, um, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for a friend of mine, Have you seen her? She's a tiny little thing, cries a lot, spends too much time with her feelings-"
"You should get a dog, love. I hear they share much the same qualities.”
“It's not charity, he cares about me--and I care about him!"
“Are you out of your goddamn mind? You think we can take on two hundred soldiers? I know I am an extremely attractive man, but I am not Bruce Lee.”
"I can't stomach your pain,I can feel it so strongly and it's making me crazy- please, Don't be sad. Or hurt. Or guilty. You've done nothing wrong."
“Lift your hips for me, love.”
"I love you exactly as you are.”
"That's some weird shit. What do I feel like? Peanut butter?"
“I am no longer afraid of fear, and I will not let it rule me.
Fear will learn to fear me.”
“If anything, everyone needs to protect themselves from you. You’re like a freaking beast,I mean, you know—like, a cute beast. A little beast that tears shit up and breaks the earth and sucks the life out of people.”
“I feel like I’ve been split open and stuffed with sunshine.”
"I love making you mad.”
“Do you never get exhausted being so wholly unbearable? You have as much charisma as the rotting innards of unidentified roadkill.”
"I want you so much it scares me.”
“In a world where there is so much to grieve and so little good to take? I grieve nothing. I take everything.”
“People can think whatever they like....I don't desire their validation.”

“The world is a mess and I want to laugh because all I can think is how horrible and beautiful it is.”
“Oh my God. We can’t even be friends anymore.”
“You don’t like to kill people, remember? You’re against that, remember? You like to talk about feelings and rainbows—”
"Don't ask me questions you already know the answers to. Twice I've laid myself bare to you and all it's gotten me was a bullet wound and a broken heart. Don't torture me,"
“And if you insist on continuing to make assumptions about my character, I’ll advise you only this: assume you will always be wrong.”
I want you to make a list of all your favorite things, and I want to be on it.”
“Water that never moves.Its fine for a little while. You can drink from it and it'll sustain you. But if it sits too long it goes bad. It grows stale. It becomes toxic.I need waves. I need waterfalls. I want rushing currents.”
“You know what just stop. Just—I can’t even talk to you right now.”
“Why do you call her 'love'?"
“Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.”
You just like him for his personality, huh?"
"This is so depressing."
“You deserve so much more than charity,"
“I am enough, and I always will be.”
“I've finally gotten to a point in my life where I'm not afraid to speak. Where my shadow no longer haunts me. And I don't want to lose that freedom--not again. I can't go backward. I'd rather be shot dead screaming for justice than die alone in a prison of my own making.”
"You deserve to live, You deserve to be alive.”
“This is not a funny moment. It’s not. I’m not laughing”
“You allow the world to think you're a heartless murderer, and you’re not.”
"And I don't think that you're a psychopath. I also don't think you're a sick, twisted monster. I don't think that you're a heartless murderer, and I don't think you deserve to die, and I don't think you're pathetic. Or stupid. Or a coward. I don't think you're any of the things people have said about you.”
"I don't even know why we're friends.”
"I like it when you call me sweetheart."
"It's like a soap opera... But with worse acting."
“I have never known this kind of peace. Never known this kind of comfort. And sometimes I am afraid that my love will terrify you.”
“I’m not an idiot. I have reasons for the things I say.”
“no I'm afraid I'm just the regular kind of murderer.”
You're a coward,You want to be with me and it terrifies you. And you're ashamed,Ashamed you could ever want someone like me. Aren't you?”
“Ohhhhhh, so you’re threatening me now? Little crybaby knows how to make threats now?
"No one who cares about what happens to me. I'm not in the business of making friends, love. My job is to lead an army, and it's the only thing I'm good at. No one,"
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
“If you hide your heart, he will never be able to take it from you.”
"would you rather I use the proper anatomical terminology? Because you lady bits do not scare me-"
"Yeah, it sounds like we're going to go all peacock and hope they find us attractive enough to mate with.
“You have just started a war.”
“I would rather be dead, than go back to being silent and suffocated.”
. "I mean, I've got an excellent view of your ass from here, but if you don't mind me staring -"
“I have never claimed to live by any set of principles,"
"There's nothing wrong with you that isn't already wrong with me,"
“I never even tried. Because I let the world teach me to hate myself. I was a coward who needed someone else to tell me I was worth something before I took any steps to save myself.”
"Because they're dead, love. They're all dead.”
“I'm here for you kid. That's what friends are for.”
“I understand perfectly. He's fallen for your quiet, timid shell. For who you used to be. He has no idea what you're capable of. What you might do if you're pushed too far.”
"I've never claimed to be right, or good, or even justified in my actions. I have been forced to do terrible things in my life, love, and I am seeking neither your forgiveness nor your approval. Because I do not have the luxury of philosophizing over scruples when I'm forced to act on basic instinct every day.”
“I will be unapologetic. I will live with no regrets. I will reach into the earth and rip out the injustice and I will crush it in my bare hands.”
No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.”
“I’m not sure. But there’s something about the darkness, the stillness of this hour, I think, that creates a language of its own. There’s a strange kind of freedom in the dark; a terrifying vulnerability we allow ourselves at exactly the wrong moment, tricked by the darkness into thinking it will keep our secrets. We forget that the blackness is not a blanket; we forget that the sun will soon rise. But in the moment, at least, we feel brave enough to say things we’d never say in the light.”
“Words are like seeds, I think, planted into our hearts at a tender age. They take root in us as we grow, settling deep into our souls. The good words plant well. They flourish and find homes in our hearts. They build trunks around our spines, steadying us when we’re feeling most flimsy; planting our feet firmly when we’re feeling most unsure. But the bad words grow poorly. Our trunks infest and spoil until we are hollow and housing the interests of others and not our own. We are forced to eat the fruit those words have borne, held hostage by the branches growing arms around our necks, suffocating us to death, one word at a time.”

SPOILERS: Shatter Me / Fracture Me,
Adam really was dumb, huh? He clearly understood this ↓ in Shatter Me about Warner,
And he literally feels it, in fact, believes it in Fracture Me ↓ about Juliette,
And yet he couldn't put two & two together? *eye rolled to the back of my head*

Reading Challenge Day 14
(WRITTEN ON: 24 October 2022, published late due to reasons)
Currently reading: Fracture Me by Taherah Mafi
QUESTION/PROMPT: Which book quote would you use to describe yourself?
“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
¬Shatter Me by Taherah Mafi

Random Quotes from YA Fantasy Books Part Two
inspired by @sankta-alina-s @wcrriorhearts @all-is-fair-in-love-and-war and more- this time I opened my fantasy books to random pages and wrote down some without trying to make this meme a million pages
“No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for 'good luck.”
“I will have you without armour, or I won’t have you at all.”
“I could see her daring a cobra to strike, swearing her venom would kill first.”
“If you won’t be my friend, you’ll regret being my enemy.”
“Don't be afraid, child,
The stories are always there.”
“You're the queen, and it's the queen's house, and whatever he may accomplish, he's highly unlikely ever to be queen.”
“There are no rules when it comes to survival.”
“Truth that came too late was as useful as a meal to a dead man.”
“If you think I'm jealous because someone else got to stab you, then you're right.”
“I don’t mind being a moth. I would probably start eating silk if it meant that I could fly.”
“If you want to rebel, rebel from inside the system.That's much more powerful than rebelling outside the system.”
“I promise, I will not let you die without being kissed.”
“The way he looked at you. I got it then. He loved you, and it was killing him. He won't get over you, he can't.”
"She is my priority!
“It’s fascinating. You know all these words, and they’re all English, but when you string them together into sentences, they just don’t make any sense.”
“There were many beautiful young men in the world, but she believed that none of them could be trusted with something as fragile, or valuable, as a heart.”
“Invite the lie to play until you become so comfortable with it that it feels like the truth.”
“It is a dangerous thing to unbelieve something only because it frightens you.”
“He is beauty, inside and out.He is the silver lining in a world of darkness.
He is my light.”
“If by a moment, you mean me not wanting to strangle you for the first time since we met, then I guess we are.”
“I think I realized that I would rather die because I betrayed them, than live because I betrayed you.”
“The field of battle is my temple.”
“You know, you have a really strange way of telling me you’re attracted to me.”
“Vanity is a factor, but it is more a question of control. It is easier to trick others into perceiving you as beautiful if you can convince yourself you are beautiful. But mirrors have an uncanny way of telling the truth.”
“You win your people or you lose your throne.”
“You allow the world to think you're a heartless murderer,"
“Hope in this world bleeds out of the barrel of a gun.”
“Waiting. Not waiting. One lover. A hundred lovers. There should be no judgement either way. A woman is not defined by what she does or doesn‘t do in the bedroom.”
“Imagine, and it shall be.
There are no limits.”
“I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside. It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.”
“Forever and ever, kid, until you're sick and tired of seeing me.”
“No one wants you to be yourself. They want you to be the version of yourself that they like.”
“But you have to have a working heart for it to break.”
“I am Death. I come quickly, I come slowly, but I am not cheated.”
“And the infinite captivates us because it allows us to believe all things are possible. That true love can last beyond time.”
“Beautiful words were beautiful words, even to the most practical of minds.”
“It's not reasonable to love people who are only going to die,"
“Everyone dies eventually. I think it's better to die clean.”
“No. I'm not broken easily. I will never break.”
“Evil contained is not evil destroyed.”
“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”
“The memory fades, and I’m left hanging on to the ghosts of his
words.”
“Some hate us, think us outlaws to hang at the gallows.
Some fear us, think demons to burn at the stake,
Some worship us, think us children of the gods.
But all know us.”
“Be true to yourself. But that's something everyone says and no one means. No one wants you to be yourself. They want you to be the version of yourself that they like.”
“He might have been a liar and villain, but he made both things look very good.”
"Didn't you hear anything I just told you? You could die!
“The ghosts, they never go away. They call to you in unexpected moments, their hands lacing with yours and pulling you down paths that lead nowhere.”
“Her spine was steel. Her heart was armor. Her eyes were fire.”
“There were two kinds of monsters, the kind that hunted the streets and the kind that lived in your head. She could fight the first, but the second was more dangerous. It was always, always, always a step ahead.”
“Love required sacrifice and making hard choices and doing things that were bigger than just you. It wasn't something you asked for, or could control or change. It was something you accepted. Love was a force of nature.”

"And me," he says
"You are my friend," I tell him
"But not your best friend. Kenji is your best friend."
I try so hard not to laugh at the jealousy in his voice.
"Yes, but you're my favourite friend."
-Ignite me, Taherah Mafi.
