“Hester glowered at her. “The biggest mistake a villain can make is to get caught up in revenge. Hansel and Gretel were two hungry kids trying to survive in the Woods. Mother thought she’d captured another pair of greedy, gluttonous brats, only to grossly underestimate them. Hansel and Gretel killed her because they had to. It wasn’t personal.” She glanced back at the old siblings. “Doesn’t mean I can stand the sight of ’em, of course. But it also doesn’t mean their story has anything to do with mine anymore.”

“It's the problem with fairy tales. From far away, they seem so perfect. But up close, they're just as complicated as real life.”
Soman Chainani, A World Without Princes“Nothing will ever be enough to satisfy the black hole in our hearts.”
Soman Chainani, The Last Ever After“To me, a king is a lighthouse. A guide who can cast his glow across his kingdom and bring every last one of us out of the shadows. A beacon who we can look up to when the world seems lost. A bridge who can unite us when our differences seem to stark to reconcile. Tonight, we need a king who is all of those things. A king who can look each of you in the eye and make you feel that you won't just fight for him or his kingdom, but you'll fight for our way of life.”

Soman Chainani, The Last Ever After“Even fairy tales have limits," said Sophie. "Three people can't have an Ever After. Not without me being alone.”
Soman Chainani, The Last Ever After“Dear girl, it will be a very long road if you spend more time looking backwards than forward.”
Soman Chainani, The Last Ever After“[B]eware trying to bend the Truth to fit your story instead of facing it head-on. That was your father's mistake. And that's how a Snake becomes a Lion and a Lion becomes a Snake. Because the more you bend the Truth to fit a story, the more it turns into Lies without you even realizing it.”
Soman Chainani, Quests for Glory“Is it really a Lie if someone is unwilling to see the Truth?”
Soman Chainani, Quests for Glory“But sometimes to keep Evil from getting in, you have to let Good out.”
Soman Chainani, The Last Ever After“To find a happy ending with someone else, first you have to find it alone.”
