Given Up Quotes

“The world is a goddamned evil place, the strong prey on the weak, the rich on the poor; I’ve given up hope that there is a God that will save us all. How am I supposed to believe that there’s a heaven and a hell when all I see now is hell.”
― Aaron B. Powell, Doomsday Diaries III: Luke the Protector

“The future I'd dreamed of was just that: a dream. I'd grow old and withered, while he would remain young for centuries, perhaps millennia. At best, I'd have decades with him before I died.

Decades. That was what I was fighting for. A flash in time for them- a drop in the pool of their eons.

So I greedily drank the wine, and I stopped caring about who I was and what had once mattered to me. I stopped thinking about colour, about light, about the green of Tamlin's eyes- about all those things I had still wanted to paint and now would never get to.

I wasn't going to leave this mountain alive.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“He'd been good- there was a part of Tamlin that was good-

Yes. He'd given me everything I needed to become myself, to feel safe. And when he got what he wanted... He'd stopped. Had tried, but not really. He'd let himself remain blind to what I needed after Amarantha.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“Amren had entirely given up on her. The debate about sending her up here had been different- Nesta knew that debate had been out of a desire to help her. She could acknowledge that now.

This debate had been out of hatred and fear of her.

The tiled rooftops became clear. Her legs were shaking. She didn't feel them.

Didn't feel anything but that molten rage as the stairs suddenly stopped and she found herself before a door.

It opened before her fingers could touch the handle. Sunlight flooded the stairwell, revealing cobblestones beyond.

Rage rippling like a storm around her, Nesta stepped back into Velaris at last.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“You have thirty minutes,' Cassian said from where he sat in the tall, swaying grass, sipping from his canteen. 'Use it however you wish.'

She said nothing. Even nodding felt like too much.

He opened the pack and chucked a canteen to her. 'Fill this. If you faint, you might fall off the mountain and break every bone in your body.'

She didn't look at him. Didn't let him see the word in her eyes. Good.

He went still, though. His next words were gentler- and she resented them, too. 'Rest up.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“She'd claimed it would be fine to die for her friends, that it was fine because they had made it, they had won, but to be killed by this nobody-

Nesta snarled. She had nothing left. Her body had given up on her. Like so many others had.
...
She was alone.

She had been born alone, and would die alone, and this awful male would be the one to kill her-”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“you're beautiful
something you refuse to believe
you're good enough
something they fail to tell you
you deserve better
sounds cliché, but it's true
i've observed so many strong, real, intelligent,
and loyal women
put up with behaviors that are beneath them
your smile becomes a mask, your laughter
neglected...
your happiness on life support, nearly dying
because you've settled
for less than you deserve”
― R.H. Sin
