“Stars were time travelers. How many of those ancient points of light were the last echoes of suns now dead? How many had been born but their light not yet come this far? If all the suns but ours collapsed tonight, how many lifetimes would it take us to realize that we were alone?”

From Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1856).
Ty : Why did you leave me??
Kit : *trying not to remember that he ran away solely because he was a gay wreak that couldn’t keep it together*
Kit : ,,,,studying abroad has always been a goal.
I think the full gravity of qon's climax just hit me again. Jude, who schemed so much to keep Cardan under her control in the previous books, didn't choose to do that again when she got the chance to. She had the chance to get alot of power, control over cardan and others, the chance to rule undisputed, to never be afraid again. But she didn't choose it. She chose Cardan instead. Chose him over herself too (she mentions she isn't sure if she'll be able to bear the pain of losing him). She let go of all that she wanted before because she didn't want to give Cardan a life of misery, of being trapped. She set him free, only to find him again.
SHE CHOSE CARDAN AND HIS LOVE OVER EVERY-FUCKING-THING ELSE—
