Kamand Kojouri
“Do not go to my grave.
Mary knows, I am not there.
Look for me in between pages
and on people’s lips.
Do not go to my old school.
Do not go to my old house —
I am not in any of those places.
Look for me in your hearts
and greet me there.”

Kiera Cass
“I hit my chest with my fist, accusing my body of failing. I’ve had eighty years to adjust and never have. Am I broken?
We’ll start there. No. You’re not broken. You are possibly the most loyal and faithful siren I’ve ever had.
So, one of the best? Is it bad to tell You that I don’t really want to be good at this job?
She swirled around my face and hair, trying to console me. No one with a beating heart could enjoy killing their own.
I’m not human, I argued. I’m less than that.
Kahlen, my sweet girl, you are still human. Your body may be unchanging, but your soul still bends and sways. I assure you, in the deepest part of yourself, you are still connected to humanity.
I kept crying, my tears joining Her waves. Then why can’t I cope with any human contact? Elizabeth has had her lovers.
As have many a siren before her. It’s not surprising, considering how beautiful you are.
If it’s so typical, then why can’t I do that?
She laughed, a motherly sound in my head, as if She knew me better than I knew myself. Because you and Elizabeth are very different people. She’s looking for passion and excitement. In her dark world, those interludes are like fireworks. You long for relationships, for love. It’s why you protect your sisters so fiercely, why you always return to Me even when I don’t call, and why you mourn so heavily at taking lives. ”
