“She met his stare again. “Dorian Harvilliard offers a better future, but the responsibility also lies with us. With how common people choose to act.”” (p. 182)

“”We do not look back, Chaol. It helps no one and nothing to look back. We can only go on.”

There she was, that queen looking out at him, a hint of the ruler she was becoming. And it knocked the breath out of him, because it made him feel so strangely young - when she now seemed so old. “What if we go on,” he said, “only to more pain and despair? What if we go on to find a horrible end waiting for us?” 

Aelin looked northward, as if she could see all the way to Terrasen. “Then it is not the end.”” (p. 521)

“”You’re the Queen of Terrasen. You can’t be.”

“Says who? We are the masters of our own fates - we decide how to go forward.”

She squeezed his hand. “You’re my friend, Dorian.”

…”What do I do now?” 

They were gone: the woman he’d loved - and the man he’d hated. He met her stare. No calculation, no coldness, no pity in those turquoise eyes. Just unflinching honesty, as there had been from the very start with her. “What do I do?”

She had to swallow before she said, “You light up the darkness.”” (p. 618)
