It’s a cruel thing to do, to cage such a beautiful animal as if it was only a dumb beast, but humans do so all too often. They even cage themselves, though their bars are made of society, not steel.
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, In the Forests of the Night (via rather-be-reading)
Love is the strongest emotion any creature can feel except for hate, but hate can’t hurt you. Love, and trust, and friendship, and all the other emotions humans value so much, are the only emotions that can bring pain. Only love can break a heart into so many pieces.
