Цитаты из книги Wild Embers

If you want to know the secret, if you want to know the truth, there is nothing more dangerous than a girl who is aware of the flames inside her, and all the damage she can do.

If only our minds didn’t remember every detail of every tragedy and instead only kept alive our happiest memories.

Take everything that
tries to destroy you
curse you,
and turn it
into something beautiful
by incantation

You see, yesterday, someone asked me,
‘How do you heal
from losing
the greatest love of your life?’

I smiled and answered,
‘You make yourself another one.
And you make
that love yourself.’

...the reason they say
midnight is the witching hour,
is because a new day rises
from the ashes of the old...

We are the blood
of the witches
you thought were dead.
We carry witchcraft in our bones
whilst the magic still sings
inside our heads.
When the witch hunters
imprisoned our ancestors
when they tried to burn the magic away.
Someone should have
warned them
that magic cannot be tamed.
Because you cannot burn away
what has always
been aflame.

We are the blood
of the witches
you thought were dead.

Ghosts of the person you used to be
are so proud of who you are,
they live on inside you applauding you
for living on despite your scars.

Sometime, somewhere,
these stars have already encountered
a better version of me
on her best day looking up at them
and thanking them for helping me see.

She is alone.
And oh
how brilliantly she shines.

This magic thing in your chest
that defies science
in how many times it breaks
and brings itself back to life again.
And every time you thought it dead
love flowed through it like electricity
starting up what you thought was dead.

That growth is simply
learning how to suffer,
gracefully, elegantly
constantly moving and travelling
without letting your pain tear you apart

This is why every day
is an opportunity for rebirth.
That is why no matter what they say,
you must never underestimate your own worth.
