“Do not change the parts of yourself that you like to make others comfortable. Do not try to mold yourself to fit the standards someone else has set for us.”

“Fear is a part of life; all that matters is what we do with it.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“Your name is no curse, Little Bird. I just like the taste of it” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“Stop worrying about society and playing its game, hoping that you'll be good enough. There is no such thing as true goodness there is only perception.” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“The stars in his eyes aren't only crafted by adventure. They've been formed by years of loneliness. Of looking up into a sky full of dreams and never being quite able to reach it.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“But remember that if you try anything, I'll stab you without a second thought.""Are you flirting with me? It's a bit hard to tell, considering how terrifying you are.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“When he turned to her, the moonlight shone upon him in a way that reminded Signa of a painting, wisps of shadows like brushstrokes upon a canvas. “Because I have waited an eternity to meet you, Signa Farrow.” The words were a balm she clung to, relished. “To me, you are a song to a soul that has never known music. Light to someone who has only seen the darkness. You bring out the absolute worst in me, and I become vindictive toward those who treat you in ways I don’t care for. Yet you also bring out the best in me—I want to be better because of you. Better for you.“In all my existence, I’ve asked only for one thing—for one person who might understand me, and whom I could let myself touch. When I touch someone, I see the life they’ve lived in flashes of memories as they die. But the first time I touched you, it was your future I saw. A glimpse of you in my arms, dancing in a beautiful red dress beneath the moonlight.” He tilted her chin up and Signa shivered, savoring the touch. “You are what I want.” He drew his hand away. “I know I cannot force you to want me in return, but say that you do, and I promise that I am wholly and unequivocally yours. Say that you do, and I will make this world everything for you, Signa.” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“You must not allow yourself to be consumed so thoroughly by death. It’s not selfish to live.” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“It’s exhausting,” Signa said as she looked down to her lap, “to pretend you are something -someone- you’re not.”Blythe took her by the hand. “Then do not spend your life exhausted.” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna

Better for you.” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“He's not like anyone I've seen before - he's molded by the world, crafted by travel and adventure. There are stories in those eyes, but I don't fall for them easily.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“The world doesn't work with only your eyes, Princess. There's truth in more than what you can see.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“I am a monster, and if you stand in my way, I will destroy you.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“The mistakes I made in the past do not make me weak; instead, I’ll use them to become stronger.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“Because death is only a reprieve for the dead, Mr. Thorly. It cares little for those it leaves behind.” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“A pirate has no right to look so handsome.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Stars and Teeth
“A human life is a beautiful thing," he said. "You humans.... you feel. You feel so deeply that it consumes you. There were humans I kept a watch over, though I would blink and they'd be fifty, sixtyyears older—and the time would come for me to meet them. For the longest time, I pitied them for their short lives. And I admit, Signa, that I have grown more callous with my age. But I have also grown to admire humans. They've such a short time to experience their lives, and so they must feel deeply. They must experience in one life-time things it's taken me an eternity to experience. When I see men like Elijah, rather than feel guilt for what I've done, I remember that he feels sorrow because he loved so deeply. And were I not real, Little Bird, were I not Death, he would never have experienced that love. So which is better? To live forever, or to live and love?” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“Hello, Little Bird. Come to stab me again?” ― Adalyn Grace, Belladonna
“I am Amora Montara, and I will no longer be a pawn. I will be a queen.” ― Adalyn Grace, All the Tides of Fate
