“Something must always be lost if you’re ever to gain. Don’t fear this. You will never move forward if you never leave things behind.”

“In another life, I would’ve tried to know her. I would’ve admired her and read her poems written by my own hand. I would’ve walked with her through fields of stardrops, danced with her in the stream.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“What are you scared of?” he asks, his voice so soft. “What is it you fear when it comes to me?” I look up at him, and a thousand answers chase through my mind. The truth boils down to one thing, though, a truth I can’t hold inside anymore. “That I will never let myself know what it is to be yours. That I will deny myself this. Deny myself you. Out of fear.” I pat his chest before continuing. “Because I am so scared of losing anyone else.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“It would be best if you didn’t look at me like that.” I lean closer and lick my lips. “Like what?” He gives me a piercing look. “Like you want me to kiss you. Because I will.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“Fire of my heart, come that I may see you, warm my weary bones, be my place of rest.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“There is no other. You are my only temple.” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
“I think I’ve loved you for my entire life,” I whisper. “And when we’re both gone, I will love you still.” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
“How do you feel, Raina? Listen to your misery. Listen to your rage. If you’re angry, let it boil. If you’re heartbroken, let your heart shatter.” His lips graze my ear, sending a rogue chill down my spine. “And if you hate, hate with the fire of a thousand suns.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“There is no love without fear, but no one told me that feat feasts on those with something to lose.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“I have been called Beauty. I have been called Love. But I am Fury, and some fool is going to bring me back to life.” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
“Control and desire are often disguised as love. One just has to be able to tell the difference between the fraud and the truth.” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
“We all play the villain in someone’s tale,” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
“Unfailing. When I’m grieving, he provides comfort. When I’m angry, he lets me rage but tempers my fury. When I’m frightened, he’s right there beside me, facing whatever comes my way. And sometimes tossing pebbles to scare me.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“I find him beautiful in a manner I’ve never felt toward Alexus or even Colden, the kind of beauty that makes my skin irritatingly febrile and my thoughts completely irrational.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Wolf and the Witch
“And if you hate, hate with the fire of a thousand suns.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Witch Collector
“So how dare you tell me that I cannot find her. How dare you think that anything will keep me from her.” ― Charissa Weaks, The Wolf and the Witch
“But Fate isn’t what you think it is, my girl. Fate doesn’t carve our life’s road, nor does it decide our destiny. We do. Fate only places people, events, and choices in our path. It’s up to us to navigate the labyrinth of love, loss, happiness, and pain that is borne from those experiences.” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
“Trust that you are making the right decisions, Raina. Trust your instinct. You are here because your blood sang a song of trust and you listened. Believe that your intuition is a gift that will never fail you.” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
“I think I’ve loved you for my entire life,” I whisper. “And when we’re both gone, I will love you still.” My” ― Charissa Weaks, City of Ruin
