“People always did like to talk, didn't they? That's why I call myself a witch now: the Wicked Witch of the West, if you want the full glory of it. As long as people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention.”

“Lead looked to his hand and saw sparkling chunks of glass in the cracks of the road. He saw ants running around the cracks, infinitely small. His blood ran into the cracks, creating rivers for the industrious ants to perplex over. Lead smiled at the creatures, for he understood that there is no difference between them and us in their wanderings and labor.”

“Letting go of judgment and accepting others just as they are is difficult. However, it’s one of the most powerful Thoughtfully Fit practices. Flexibility teaches us the value of acceptance—full and unconditional acceptance of others. Even, or maybe especially, when you don’t agree with their choices or behaviors. It’s much easier to accept others when we agree with them 100 percent.”

“I avoided his stare, turning for the kitchen. 'You must be hungry, I'll heat something up.'
Rhys straightened. 'You'd- make me food?'
'Heat,' I said. 'I can't cook.'
It didn't seem to make a difference. But whatever it was, the act of offering him food... I dumped some cold soup into a pan and lit the burner. 'I don't know the rules,' I said, my back to him. 'So you need to explain them to me.'
He lingered in the centre of the cabin, watching my every move. He said hoarsely. 'It's an... important moment when a female offers her mate food. It goes back to whatever beasts we were a long, long time ago. But it still matters. The first time matters. Some mated pairs will make an occasion of it- throwing a party just so the female can formally offer her mate food... That's usually done amongst the wealthy. But it means that the female... accepts the bond.'
I stared into the soup. 'Tell me the story- tell me everything.'
He understood my offer: tell me while I cooked, and I'd decide at the end whether or not to offer him that food.”

“Warm, strong fingers cupped her chin, calluses scraping against her skin.
She let him lift her head. She hadn't realised he'd come closer. That only inches separated them. Unless she'd been the one to drift toward him, drawn by every brutal word.
Cassian kept his light grip on her chin. 'Whatever you need to throw at me, I can't take it. I won't break.' No challenge laced the words. Only a plea.
'You don't understand,' she said, voice rasping. 'I am not like you and the others.'
'That's never bothered me one bit.' HIs lowered his hand from her chin.
She straightened. 'It should.'
'You say that like you want it to bother me.”

“there are also deeper forces behind our resistance to rethinking. questioning ourselves makes the world more unpredictable, it requires us to admit that the facts may have changed, that what was once right may now be wrong. reconsidering something we believe deeply can threaten our identities, making it feel as if we’re losing a part of ourselves. rethinking isn’t a struggle in every part of our lives, when it comes to our obsessions, we update with fervour, we refresh our wardrobes when they go out of style, and renovate our kitchens when they’re no longer in Vogue. when it comes to our knowledge and opinions though, we tend to stick to our guns. psychologists call this ceasing and freezing. we favour the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt and we let our beliefs brittle long before our bones”

“In error I find truth, in you I found a place; and in all of this, I found nothing but nothingness. Contentment in my own gain and movement without seeing your face. Doubt where I knew I was wrong. We grow to exceed in our own self worth and in error we find our greatest truths.”
