“Play me something that makes me feel;
This soul inside me is made of steel.

Empty gnawing and the ache is soaring;
Take me places that make more sense.”
Melina Marchetta, The Piper's Son

Leigh Bardugo
“I poisoned my skin,鈥� Genya said harshly, 鈥渕y lips. So that every time he touched me鈥斺€� She shuddered slightly and glanced at David. 鈥淓very time he kissed me, he took sickness into his body.鈥� She clenched her fists. 鈥淗e brought this on himself.鈥�
鈥淏ut the poison would have affected you too,鈥� Nikolai said.
鈥淚 had to purge it from my skin, then heal the burns the lye would leave. Every single time.鈥� Her fists clenched. 鈥淚t was well worth it.鈥�
Nikolai rubbed a hand over his mouth. "Did he force you?"
Genya nodded once. A muscle in Nikolai's jaw ticked.鈥�

She held up her hands, warding us off. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 want your pity,鈥� she said ferociously. Her voice was raw, wild. We stood there helplessly. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 understand.鈥� She covered her face with her hands. 鈥淣one of you do.鈥�
鈥淕enya鈥斺€� David tried.
鈥淒on鈥檛 you dare,鈥� she said roughly, tears welling up again. 鈥淵ou never looked at me twice before I was like this, before I was broken. Now I鈥檓 just something for you to fix.鈥�
I was desperate for words to soothe her, but before I could find any, David bunched up his shoulders and said, 鈥淚 know metal.鈥�
鈥淲hat does that have to do with anything?鈥� Genya cried.
David furrowed his brow. 鈥淚 鈥� I don鈥檛 understand half of what goes on around me. I don鈥檛 get jokes or sunsets or poetry, but I know metal.鈥� His fingers flexed unconsciously as if he were physically grasping for words. 鈥淏eauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But what鈥檚 inside you? That鈥檚 steel. It鈥檚 brave and unbreakable. And it doesn鈥檛 need fixing.”
Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

Maya Banks
“Love happened. She would have never thought that it could happen so rapidly. Love was something you worked at, and she had no doubt their relationship would take a lot of hard work and dedication. But it had simply happened. No explanation. No cataclysmic event or earth-shattering revelation brought on by some external event. It had simply happened.”
Maya Banks, Forged in Steele

William     Powers
“Think how nature makes things compared to how we humans make things." We talked about how animals don't just preserve the next generation; they typically preserve the environment for the ten-thousandth generation. While human industrial processes can produce Kevlar, it takes a temperature of thousands of degrees to do it, and the fiber is pulled through sulfuric acid. In contrast, a spider makes its silk - which per gram is several times stronger than steel - at room temperature in water.”
William Powers, Twelve by Twelve: A One-Room Cabin Off the Grid and Beyond the American Dream

Shannon Celebi

Thomas Pynchon
“Consider coal and steel. There is a place where they meet. The interface between coal and steel is coal-tar. Imagine coal, down in the earth, dead black, no light, the very substance of death. Death ancient, prehistoric, species we will never see again. Growing older, blacker, deeper, in layers of perpetual night. Above ground, the steel rolls out fiery, bright. But to make steel, the coal tars, darker and heavier, must be taken from the original coal. Earth's excrement, purged out for the ennoblement of shining steel. Passed over.”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity鈥檚 Rainbow

Steven Raaymakers
“Alicia watched in horror as the blood flew through the air, Raziel whipping like an eel around the soldiers. She could sense his emotions even without seeing his eyes. His hatred and anger were strong. She could feel it like a wind, buffeting at her mind. At the same time, it was like a wild tune, fast-paced, loud, drowning out all else. It was more powerful than the fear of all the soldiers combined, and she sank to the ground as her own emotions woke and intensified into a drunken clamour.”
Steven Raaymakers, A Canticle of Two Souls

“Even the rope of steel breaks once overwhelmed with too much tension; how much more flesh and blood? Everybody has a breaking point, so do not push too much.”
Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

Lisa Kleypas
She... her... He couldn't hold on to her name... it kept darting away from him... but he was aware of her soft presence, her voice like honey, her hands bestowing cool, sweet calm on his tortured body.
But for all her softness, there was steel in her. She was unrelenting when it came time to dose him with medicines he didn't want. She made him sip water or broth despite his struggles to keep anything down. There was no bloody refusing her. This was a woman who would keep him anchored safely to the earth, to life, with the force of her will.
During the worst of it, when Keir was maddened by suffocating heat, and every breath felt like someone was stabbing a peat knife into his chest, the woman packed ice around him, or bathed him all over with cool cloths. It mortified and infuriated him to lie there helpless and naked as a wee bairnie while she took care of his intimate needs, but he was too damned sick to do anything for himself. He needed her, both the softness and the steel.”
Lisa Kleypas, Devil in Disguise
