“I'd die of a broken heart before breaking yours.”

“What matters most, is not how my end happens, or if it happens now. What I care about in this instant, is that she knows how much I love her—that I lived long enough to have her love me back.”

“I've misplaced it all, but I can't seem to lose my brother. It's a priceless gift--to have his love at a time when I've done nothing to earn it.”

“...our souls may be consumed by shadows, but that doesn't mean we have to behave as monsters.”

“I think the purest of souls, those with the most fragile of hearts, must be meant for a short life. They can't be tethered or held in your palm.Just like a sparrow, they light on your porch. Their song might be brief, but how greedy would we be to ask for more? No, you cannot keep a sparrow. You can only hope that as they fly away, they take a little bit of you with them.”

“Home is the place that expects the most of you, but still welcomes you at your worst. And she has always been my home, my Merminia.”

“No. Your thoughts are what make you. But your body isn't a meaningless thing either. Call me strange, but I think only the person you love the most should see you like that. And not here--in an ugly, dirty place--when you haven't even thought about it.”

“A Seer dreams of all kinds of endings, but never a happy one for herself.”

“Smiling at death seems like a pretty bold act. And so I smile like a damned fool.”
