my favorite cardan greenbriar quotes because I love him
spoilers for the folk of the air series
The Cruel Prince:
“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often, it’s disgusting, and I can’t stop” (yes this is my only fav quote of cardan in the first book help)
The Wicked King:
“If you’re the sickness, I suppose you can’t also be the cure.”
“Kiss me. Kiss me until I'm sick of it”
"I want to tell you so many lies."
“I wasn't kind, Jude. Not to many people. Not to you. I wasn't sure if I wanted you or if I wanted you gone from my sight so that I would stop feeling as I did, which made me even more unkind. But when you were gone -truly gone beneath the waves- I hated myself as I never have before.”
“Yes, my sweet villain, my darling god.”
"Sweet Jude. You're my dearest punishment."
"Marry me. Become the queen of Elfhame."
“I will lie down. If you lie with me”
The Queen of Nothing:
“She is my wife. The rightful High Queen of Elfhame. And most definitely not in exile.” (ICONIC)
“want you here by my side, as my queen”
“By you, I am forever undone”
“We have lived in our armor for so long, you and I. And now I am not sure if either of us knows how to remove it.”
“My sweet nemesis, how glad I am that you returned.”
“It’s you I love,’ he says. ‘I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.’”
“Come home and shout at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart, if you must. Just come home.”
“And yet my heart is buried with you in the strange soil of the mortal world, as it was drowned with you in the cold waters of the Undersea. It was yours before I could admit it, and yours it shall ever remain.”
“I urge you: come be angry at a nearer distance.”
“I knew little else, but I always knew you.”

franz kafka, letters to milena
[text ID: do not let yourself be scared away from me - if it is at all possible in this unsteady world (where, when one is torn away, one is simply torn away and can't do anything about it) - even if I disappoint you once or a thousand times or right now or perhaps always right now.]

"There was an intensity of hatred in her white, set face and her blazing eyes such as woman seldom and man never can attain."

The Heir of Redclyffe is teaching me that what Little Women really needed was for the March sisters to have a clever, witty, sharp-tongued, disabled brother who was BFFs with Laurie.
#charles edmonstone my beloved#he's so much fun#and his friendship with guy is one of the best parts of the book#i'm shocked to see a victorian book where the disabled person is neither a monster nor a saint#the disability affects his life and the household but it's far from the only thing about him#he's a great character in his own right#he even has a plot-relevant illness#but the plot relevance isn't 'oh no he's near death let's have drama'#but 'he's having a flareup and can't write letters so someone loses a vital correspondant at an unfortunate moment'#(charles does later lampshade the lost opportunity for a dramatic deathbed reconciliation scene)#but anyway despite my continued comparisons of this book and little women#they are different books#aside from the laurie thing and the general family atmosphere and the moralizing mother figure there's quite a lot different#for one thing the male characters are much more interesting than most of the female ones#the girls are fine but certainly not the main draw of the story#i do like the religious aspect of this one more though#at first it was giving me anxiety cuz they agonize over teeny little sins#but once we moved from childish concerns to more adult ones the faith aspect became much deeper#still clunky and eye-rolling at times but also surprisingly natural in some places#and i'm still holding my breath for whatever made jo cry over this book#66% through the book; it's gotta be coming relatively soon#books#the heir of redclyffe#little women#charlotte mary yonge#louisa may alcott

I can write hundreds of poems, no doubt,
Thousands of stories to let my heart out,
Books if you care to take a look,
About my feelings, like pages in a book.
If my thoughts could speak your name,
It’d echo in my mind, always the same.
I try to catch the words, but they flee,
When emotions grow, it's hard to see.
So when we're near, don’t expect me to talk,
For my mind is lost, unable to walk.
But if you'd read the words I penned,
The poems, the letters I never did send,
You’d know my love is deep and true,
And all I ask is to share it with you.

I finished The Count of Monte Cristo! I have so many feels, but I'm not writing them out here, bc I don't think I can express them. Valentine and Max have my heart. And I hope Edmond and Haydee will find the peace and love they deserve!

Because he was right: sometimes people came into your life for brief moments, and changed you forever. I think he was my person.
And he didn't even exist. He came from the mind of an author I'd admired so much—who had changed my life with her books, so of course I would fall for a man she created. His backstory, his witty banter, his minty eyes, even the way he smelled.
—Ashley Poston, from A Novel Love Story

The great comet is my third favourite musical! I first listened to it after reading War and Peace, because I heard it was a good adaptation (of a 70-page segment, but still) and I recommend anyone to listen to it right now. Spiral symbol you want to listen to Dust and Ashes Spiral symbol
