“It occurred to him then, with a vague panic, that he'd follow her off a cliff if she were the one to lead him there.”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“Fiction or not, she'd embedded inside him, replaced the air in his lungs. That she'd proven to be real--more exquisite than he'd dreamed--and entirely ignorant of him, had been more than he could bear.”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“For as long as he lived he feared he'd know the scent of her, the sound of her walking toward him. She was a fool to think otherwise.
He was a fool to think of her at all.”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“You really do love her?"
Cyrus said nothing. He didn't need to.”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“This tremble inside him, this madness in his heart--it was all for her. All for her.”

“I need your help, sleepy boy. Can you do something for me?
"Anything.”
― Tahereh Mafi, These Infinite Threads

“I want it all, angel. Not just your joy but your sorrow. Not just your hope but your fear, I want your anger and disdain, your frustration and contempt--”

“Cyrus had looked at her many times since she'd met him, and always with varying levels of intensity, but never quite like this. Never like he wanted to fall to his knees before her.”
― Tahereh Mafi, These Infinite Threads

“What worlds he might be inspired to give up, he wondered, in the pursuit of knowing more of her mind.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“What are friends for, if not to kill your enemies?”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“Tell me your name," he whispered.
Slowly, very slowly, Alizeh touched her fingers to his waist, anchored herself to his body. She heard his soft intake of breath.
"Why?" she asked.
He hesitated, briefly, before he said, "I begin to fear you've done me irreparable damage. I should like to know who to blame.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“He realized, with some despair, that everything would now remind him of her. The very sun and moon, the shifting of lightness and dark.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“I always thought you were some kind of an angel.”

“He knew at once he'd been tricked; he knew at once she was an instrument of the devil, sent to ruin him. And yet he weakened each time she looked in his direction. His need grew only more explosive as she solidified into someone real; always he desired another glance, another accidental graze of her skin.”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“He didn't need to turn to see her, for Alizeh lived always in luxury behind his eyes; he turned because the act of aligning his body towards hers was chased every time by a strange relief.”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“As much as it tortured him to look at her, it tortured him more to look away.”
― Tahereh Mafi, All This Twisted Glory

“He'd forgotten how beautiful she was.
This revelation was astonishing to him, for he'd spent more time than he cared to admit thinking about the girl, conjuring her face when he closed his eyes at night. He did not think of himself capable of forgetting anything about her, and yet he must have, for he was struck stupid anew, drawing near her now like a hungry flame to tinder.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“Will you not give me hope?" he whispered. "Tell me I will see you again. Ask me to wait for you.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“It made him think of Alizeh.
It was impossible not to think of her then, to be reminded of the linchpin of the tragic story that had become his life. Alizeh, who'd awoken in him emotion he'd never before experienced, who'd opened his eyes to a kind of glorious madness he hadn't even know was possible--and then, with a tender smile, so delicately snapped in half his entire world.”
― Tahereh Mafi, These Infinite Threads

“Farewell," she whispered. "Our time together has come to an end. We will never meet again. Our worlds will never again collide.
"Don't say that," he said, suddenly serious. His hand moved to her wait, traveled up the curve of her rib cage. "Say anything but that."
Alizeh was no longer smiling, Her heart was beating so hard she thought it might bruise. "What shall I say, then?"
"Your name. I want to hear it from your lips.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“There exists no bridge between our lives; no path that connects our worlds."
"How can that matter? Is this not one day to be my empire, to rule as I see fit? I will build a bridge. I can clear a path.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“I choose you," he said simply. "I want youj.”
