“Falling in love is the most dangerous thing women like us can do.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire
“They can take and break and steal all they want, but there is one thing they have no control over. Our emotions. Our feelings. Our thoughts. None of them will ever be able to control the way we feel. Our minds and hearts are our own. That is our power, Nine. Never forget it.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire
“Because if this is to be my fate, I'm going to walk boldly into it on my own two feet.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire

“Perhaps being a traitor can be a good thing if you are betraying those who deserve it.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire
“It doesn't matter how beautiful the cage is. It's still a prison.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire
“I don’t realize it until I speak it. And it’s different from the times I’ve said it before, or the way I’ve hoped it, as if dreaming something enough could birth it into being. I know it now with a certainty that has fitted into the lost core at the heart of me, as hard and angular as my hope was soft and shimmering. The King will not have me.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire
“I like to think that there's some good behind even the darkest sins. That death can be warranted if it paves the way for hope.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire
“Wren and I might not be Paper Girls anymore, but we are still capable of creating fire. And now we have a whole world to burn.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Storm and Shadow
“There is nothing stronger than people who endure the worst hardships in the world and still raise their fists at the start of a new day to fight all over again.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Storm and Shadow
“A war might be coming.But we have the wings to fight it.” ― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire
