#leigh bardugo quotes

“But wasn't that what every girl dreamed? That she'd wake and find herself a princess? Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny? Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren't chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”

-Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

Someone who didn’t realise I was in earshot: I hate Matthias and I think his redemption arc was stupid because he was evil and he should never have been with Nina because he was prejudiced towards her

Me, pulling a portable projector from my bag and ushering everyone in the vicinity into chairs that just materialised from nowhere as I start handing round a syllabus and producing a binder full of notes: Well, actually -

Kaz: checkmate

Wylan: what- we're playing monopoly???

Kaz: when you can't beat the odds, change the game

You can love a character & still admit when they’re wrong. I love Kaz Brekker but I acknowledge his flaws (none, he’s perfect) and I can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) an call him out on his actions (which are always right).

Kaz, picking Jesper and Wylan up from the stadwatch cells: Weird choice for date night.

Jesper: Where did you take Inej last weekend?

Kaz: That wasn't-

Jesper: Where?

Kaz: *incoherent mumbling*

Wylan, who just wants to go home: Louder.

Kaz, groaning: I took Inej on an excursion to the tunnels under Ketterdam.

Jesper: Tunnels?

Kaz, muttering: Sewers.

Jesper: That's all I wanted.

Stop treating your pain like it’s something you imagined. If you see the wound is real, then you can heal it.

“‘We were all supposed to make it,’ said Wylan softly. Maybe that was naive, the protest of a rich merchant’s son who’d only had a taste of Barrel life. But Jesper realized he’d been thinking the same thing. After all their mad escapes and close calls, he’d started to believe the six of them were somehow charmed, that his guns, Kaz’s brains, Nina’s wit, Inej’s talent, Wylan’s ingenuity, and Matthias’ strength had made them somehow untouchable. They might suffer. They might take their knocks, but Wylan was right, in the end they were all supposed to stay standing.”
