“”I once lived in a place where the opinion of others mattered. It suffocated me, nearly broke me. So you’ll understand me, Feyre, when I say that I know what you feel, and I know what they tried to do to you, and that with enough courage, you can say to hell with a reputation.” Her voice gentled, and the tension between them all faded with it. “You do what you love, what you need.”” (p. 178)
“”There are good days and hard days for me - even now. Don’t let the hard days win.”” (p. 239)
“”The Court of Dreams is founded on three things: to defend, to honor, and to cherish.”” (p. 280)
“My friend through many dangers. My lover who had healed my broken and weary soul.
My mate who had waited for me against all hope, despite all odds.” (p. 533)
“But I met his stare as I clicked my glass against his, the crystal ringing clear and bright over the crashing sea far below and said, “To the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys.”
He picked up his glass, his gaze so piercing that I wondered why I had bothered blushing at all for Tarquin.
Rhys clicked his glass against mine. “To the stars who listen - and the dreams that are answered.”” (p. 337)
