“I don’t know who I am, and who I’m not, I don’t know who I’m supposed to be, and I miss who I was; I miss it every day, Kate, but there’s no place for that August anymore.

“Sight is an important thing, August. Without it, our minds invent, and the things they invent are almost always worse than the truth. It’s important that they see us. See you. It’s important that they know you’re on their side.”
V. E. Schwab
Our Dark Duet
“The idea that if a thing went unsaid, it didn’t really exist, because words had power, words gave weight and shape and force, and the withholding of them could keep a thing from being real.”
V. E. Schwab
Our Dark Duet
“There was a strange place, between knowing and not knowing. A place where things could live in the back of your head without weighing down your heart.”
V. E. Schwab
Our Dark Duet
“There were two kinds of monsters, the kind that hunted the streets and the kind that lived in your head. She could fight the first, but the second was more dangerous. It was always, always, always a step ahead.”
V. E. Schwab
Our Dark Duet
