“He knew exactly what choice she'd made and what she intended. And that made everything- hating her, loving her, surviving her, so much harder.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Burning God

― R.F. Kuang, The Drowning Faith

“None of that mattered anymore. They weren't stupid little girls anymore. They weren't students anymore. War had transformed them both into wholly unimaginable creatures, and their relationship had transformed with them.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic

“You should have killed me," she said at last.
He gave her a long look. She couldn't read his face; what she thought she saw confused her. "But I never wanted you dead.”
― R.F. Kuang

“She was so small.
Nezha couldn¡¯t register the choking gurgles in her throat, the glassy panic in her eyes, or the warmth of her blood as it spilled down his hands. He couldn¡¯t, or he would shatter. As Rin bled out over the sand, the only thought running through his mind was that she was so small, so light, so fragile in his arms.
Then the twitching stopped, and she was gone.”
― R.F Kuang

“My body is my own," I said. "I may choose to share it with someone, but it's not for sale or for hire, nor is it a reward. I'd rather starve to death than use it as such.”

“He couldn¡¯t move. He could hardly breathe. As he stared down at the tiny body in his arms¡ªso limp and lifeless, so utterly unlike the vicious human hurricane he knew as Fang Runin¡ªall he could do was tremble.
You bitch, he thought. You fucking bitch.
He realized dimly that he ought to be glad she was dead. He should have been fucking delighted. And rationally, intellectually, he was. Rin was a monster, a murderer, a destroyer of worlds. Nothing but blood and ashes ever trailed in her wake. The world was a better, safer, and more peaceful place without her in it. He believed that. He had to believe that.
And yet.
And yet, when he looked at that broken body, all he wanted to do was howl.”
― R.F Kuang

― R.F. Kuang, The Burning God

“Maybe the Ketreyids stayed in their yurts to hide from the winds. Or maybe, she thought, with stars this bright, if you believed that above you lay the cosmos, then you had to construct a yurt to provide some temporary feeling of materiality. Otherwise, under the weight of swirling divinity, you might feel you had no significance at all.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic

“Rin: "You realize you two are trespassing, don't you? This place is my territory, get it? And anyone who comes into my territory without permission...has to pay a toll!"
Akira: "Toll...?"
Keisuke: "A...a girl??"
Rin: "Sorry to break it to you...but I'm packing!"
Keisuke: "P-packing...? What? !@*?!!”
― Suguro Chayamachi, Togainu No Chi 1

“Then Rin was hugging him. Relief and joy swelled inside her till she thought she would burst.
"Uh . . . ," Razo said, patting her head as if she might be crazy.
"You were dead," she mumbled against his chest.
"I was? Well, I wish someone had told me. Would've been nice to relax on my back for a while. Um, how'd I die?”
― Shannon Hale, Forest Born

“I thought you just wanted to be a good soldier''
But more than that, she wanted power.”
