Holly Black
“You will make an interesting High King,' I tell him.

He looks alarmed. 'I most definitely will not. The Folk adore Cardan and they're terrified of my sister, two excellent things. I hope they rule Elfhame for a thousand years and then pass it down to one of a dozen offspring. No need for me to be involved.”
Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“His grin widens, shows teeth. 'I don't think I will be a good king. I never wanted to be one, certainly not a good one. You made me your puppet. Very well, Jude, daughter of Madoc, I will be your puppet. You rule. You contend with Balekin, with Roiben, with Orlagh of the Undersea. You be my seneschal, do the work, and I will drink wine and make my subjects laugh. I may be the useless shield you put in front of your brother, but don't expect me to start being useful.'

I expected something else, a direct threat, perhaps. Somehow, this is worse.

He rises from the throne. 'Come, have a seat.' His voice is replete with danger, lush with menace. The flowering branches have sprouted thorns so thickly that petals are barely visible.

'This is what you wanted, isn't it?' he asks. 'What you sacrificed everything for. Go on. It's all yours.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

Leigh Bardugo
“Making people happy isn't the province of kings. Perhaps if I'd been born a baker or a puppeteer."

Leigh Bardugo, Rule of Wolves

Leigh Bardugo
“You do realize you just referred to yourself as the queen. That means you agreed.
I am going to kill you.
So long as you kiss me again before you do.”
Leigh Bardugo, Rule of Wolves

Holly Black
“The new High King of Faerie lounges on his throne, his crown resting at an insouciant angle, his long, villainously scarlet cloak pinned at his shoulders and sweeping the floor. An earring shines from the peak of one pointed ear. Heavy rings glitter along his knuckles. His most ostentatious decoration, however, is his soft, sullen mouth.

It makes him look every bit the jerk that he is.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Kristian Ventura
“Only a king knew what a crown did to a walk. No matter how diligently explained or even repetitiously tried on by others, the crown weighs not what its gold measures, but its bearer’s battles, near-deaths, and navigations of terrain. Terrain cheered by none. Terrain open to all.”
Karl Kristian Flores, A Happy Ghost

Holly Black
“Despite the deep pits that lead to oubliettes, the trees that move to make you lose your way, the ice spiders that wrap their prey in frozen gossamer, the mad king, and the curse.”
Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“Cuando el dedo caprichoso del destino te señala, todos los caminos llevan al mismo sitio.”

“It is ok to hate your father, but it is not ok to hate every father.
It is not every man fault that you father left you or couldn’t be there for you.
It is not every mans fault that your father was not or is not a good man.
Let those man who are good fathers be celebrated, honored, cherished and loved, without making them feel like we are doing a favor and they don’t deserve to be celebrated. Let’s not take away their hard work, love , dedication, care and sacrifice. Let’s not make all their work be tainted by men who failed to show up. To every man who is a father or who is doing father duties. Happy Fathers Day King and Long live the King.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

Holly Black
“Mostly, his obligations appear to be allowing his ring-covered hands to be kissed and accepting the blandishments of the Folk. I'm sure he enjoys that part of it- the kisses, the bowing and scraping. He's certainly enjoying the wine.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

“A girl looks for a King to be a Queen.”
Tamerlan Kuzgov

“That morning i awoke.
I felt the rising sun.
A glimpse of true restoration,
with kings crying, emperors imploring mercy, world living,
earth within.

The light of the rays
throughout magnificent pieces
of hollow stone.
I'm happy.
I'm happy.
The sun it did shine.

The sunrise, it was beautiful,
sitting in between the vast open crests of the mountains.
The sky's color orange.
The mountains a deep pink.

This view was a sensation of the universal language.
And the best part had to be the sun's
fiery,
multicolored,
rays!
Where the glory of this moment,
this sunrise,
originated.

What a bountiful moment.
It was filled with glory and strength.
The firefly lighting
inescapable and somewhat inexpressive.
Because of this, all insecurities melted away.

There was something comforting about this rise.
It was as if it was a message from God.
It had the energy of a new day.

No, not a new day.
Not another day to wake up.
Not ANOTHER PLAIN DAY!

No, this was a "new day".
The beginning of a new era.
That's what this sunlight told me.
Situations will now explode and dissolve.
In a benevolent way.

It said,
Feel the warmth of the sun.
Let it's warm welcoming waves of light
surround and caress your being.
Feel its care and courage.

Connect and let its power become yours.
Once i connected i no longer reflected.
The time for reflection ended.
And being pushed aside,
the time or immortality began.

The invincible
irresistible,
sensational,
nature of the sun brought a new wave.

The nine waves of the sun,
They touched me on that sunrise.
They touched my heart.
Just as they mixed and breed with
the unusually blue but now pink mountains.

The loving amalgamation of sunrise and environment.
It was truly a spectacle to behold.
This was a true sunrise.
The first true sunrise of my life.

THE SUNRISE OF THE NEW DAY.
MAY YOU SEE IT AS WELL!”
Kalen Doleman, Sunrise of The New Day

Holly Black

Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

Holly Black
“Queen Mab created this crown to keep her descendants in power,' Cardan says. 'But vows should never be to a crown. They should be to a ruler. And they should be of your own free will. I am your king, and beside me stands my queen. But it is your choice whether or not to follow us. Your will shall be your own.'

And with his bare hands, he cracks the Blood Crown in two. It breaks like a child's toy, as though in his hands it was never made of metal at all, brittle as a wishbone.

I think that I gasp, but it is possible that I scream.”
Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

Timothy J. Keller
“The gospel is not about choosing to follow advice,
it’s about being called to follow a King.
Not just someone with the power and authority to tell you what needs to be done � but someone with the power and authority to *do* what needs to be done, and then to offer it to you as a good news.”
Timothy J. Keller, King's Cross: The Story of the World in the Life of Jesus
