“Right now, I'm just a girl, and there is also magic in that.”

Zoraida Córdova,
Labyrinth Lost
“Some people were meant for great, lasting legacies. Others were meant for small moments of goodness, tiny but that rippled and grew in big, wide waves.” ― Zoraida Córdova, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
“Orquídea didn’t like it because she knew she wasn’t a flower, delicate and pretty and waiting to be plucked. For what? To be smelled? To sit in a glass of water until she withered? She was more than that. She wanted to be rooted so deep into the earth that nothing, no human, no force of nature, save an act of the heavens themselves, could rip her out.” ― Zoraida Córdova, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
“She ate the stars and swallowed the earth, She is the girl with all the power.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Labyrinth Lost
“Not all loves are meant to last forever. Some burn like fire until there is nothing left but ash and black ink on skin.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Labyrinth Lost
“Sometimes I wonder if a person can have so much regret they'll drown in it.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Incendiary
“Breakable. No matter who we are we are breakable.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Incendiary
“There is so much wrong in the world." she says. "Sometimes, I feel the only thing I can give is a bit of kindness, even when I can't give hope.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Incendiary
“When she'd met Orquídea Montoya, she saw a whisper of a girl who wanted to become a scream.” ― Zoraida Córdova, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
“The smell of old books and dust wafts from the opening, more powerful than any memory.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Incendiary
“[...] We don't talk. None of us. Why don't we ever talk? Silence is a language of its own in this family. A curse of our own making. That's the inheritance my daughter got from me, and I am very sorry.” ― Zoraida Córdova, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
“Not all monsters look monstrous.’ There’s so much sadness in his voice that I want to ask how he knows that. 'Sometimes they’re perfectly normal humans. Sometimes they’re so beautiful, you would never suspect.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Labyrinth Lost
“We all get scared and want to turn away, but it isn’t always strength that makes you stay. Strength is also making the decision to change your destiny.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Labyrinth Lost
“Why’s it always the heart or the eye of something?” Rishi asks. “You notice that? There are so many body parts that don’t get enough love, like earlobes and belly buttons.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Labyrinth Lost
“Crooked smiles for crooked hearts.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Incendiary
“But here, in her family's home, she was river and salt and that same sea found her. She was the mouth of an ancient god who would swallow the world. She was an ocean of stories, memories, thousands of little moments that made up her whole being.” ― Zoraida Córdova, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
“For a long time, I wanted nothing more than to be ordinary. As we run through the changing paths of this maze, I realize I was never ordinary to begin with. We are built a certain way, and the only thing I regret is that it took me so long to see that.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Labyrinth Lost
“I'm not the encantrix everyone thought I would be. Right now, I'm just a girl, and there is also magic in that.” ― Zoraida Córdova, Labyrinth Lost
“Orquídea met her daughter-in-law's eyes and said, "What is is like to live without rage in your heart?” ― Zoraida Córdova, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
