“He looked at me with a hundred stories lit behind his eyes.”

Adrienne Young,
Fable
“We find things, just as we lose things. If you’ve lost your honor, you’ll find it again.” ― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep
“Vegr yfir fjor.” Honor above life.” ― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep
“Like a weary bird flying out over the most desolate sea, I finally had a place to land.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“Young and old, male or female, pretty much everyone she knew wanted the same things. They wanted to feel peace in their hearts, they wanted a life without turmoil, they wanted to be happy. The difference Adrienne thought, was that most young people seemed to thing that those things lay somewhere in the future, while most older people believed that they lay in the past.” ― Nicholas Sparks
“Isolde was the wind and sea and sky of Saint's world. She was the pattern of stars that he navigated by, the sum of all directions on his compass. And he was lost without her.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“The only safety that existed was in being completely alone.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“I left you there because I have never loved anything in my life like I love you. Not Isolde. Not the trade. Nothing.” ― Adrienne Young, Namesake
“I have thought about you every single day since that day. Maybe every hour. I've counted days to go back to the island, and I pushed us into storms I shouldn't have because I didn't want to not be there when you woke up. I didn't want you to wait for me. Ever. Or to think I wasn't coming back." He paused. "I struck the deal with Saint because I wanted the ship, but I kept it because of you. When you got off the Marigold in Ceros and I didn't know if I would ever see you again, I thought . . . I felt like I couldn't breathe.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“My mother had loved Saint with a love that could set fire to the sea” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“Home was a ship that was at the bottom of the sea, where my mother's bones lay sleeping.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“Sexist grammar burns into the brains of little girls and young women a message that the male is the norm, the standard, the central figure beside which we are all deviants, the marginal, the dependent variables. It lays the foundation for androcentric thinking, and leaves men safe in their solipsistic tunnel-vision.” ― Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence. Selected Prose 1966-1978
“I loved her with a love that broke me.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“There are some things that can’t be carved from a person, no matter how far from home they’ve sailed.” ― Adrienne Young, Namesake
“Like light cast over the morning water, it became new. Every moment that lay ahead, like an uncharted sea. this was a new beginning.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
“We were salt and sand and sea and storm.” ― Adrienne Young, Namesake
“I feel like…” I caught the sob in my chest and swallowed it, suddenly embarrassed. He leaned in closer to me. “Like what?” My eyes ran over his face. The scruff on his jaw. The dark lashes around his blue eyes. “Like I’m a flame about to burn out.” My voice was so thin it sounded like I could reach out and break it with my fingers. “Like I’m going to disappear.” ― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep
“I could still see a young Eelyn standing on the beach turned into the wind, a sword in one hand and an axe in the other. I hadn’t lost her. I hadn’t buried her. I’d only let her change into something new.” ― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep
“What he was saying-the things he told me-was his way of showing me he trusted me. It was also his way of giving me the match. If I wanted to, I could burn him down. But if we were going to do this, I would have to be his safe harbor and he would have to be mine.” ― Adrienne Young, Fable
