“‘I love you,’ he whispered, and kissed my brow. ‘Thorns and all.'” – page 248 by Tamlin
“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.

But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.

But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat.
For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow,
When I kill, I do it slow…” – page 313 by Amarantha
