“He loves her laugh; that sharp, sudden sound; the cynical laugh that always comes too quick, like it’s ripped out of her. He loves her quick, confident grin. He loves her resilience, her bravery, even her impulsiveness. She’s everything he’s not: unbound, reckless, free. He’s never known anyone like her. She terrifies him, and he loves her so much it hurts.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Drowning Faith

“It doesn’t go away. It never will. But when it hurts, lean into it. It’s so much harder to stay alive. That doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to live. It means you’re brave.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Burning God

“Kita harus belajar kecewa bahwa orang yang kita percaya ternyata memegang pisau dan menusuk punggung kita. Kita tidak bisa berharap semua orang akan selalu loyal pada perjuangan dan persahabatan.”
― Leila S. Chudori, Laut Bercerita
