Quotes by Maya Prasad  (?)

“The immensity of the infinite unknown was formidable, but for that brief moment, she did not feel small. With her sisters and a warm drink and flickering firelight, she only felt . . .

Possibility.”
Maya Prasad, Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things

“...she spotted his silhouette in the shadows, the sea behind him churning with smoke and dragons and night whispers. A thrill raced through her veins, the drug of endless possibilities. The evening was hers to claim, and claim it she would.”
Maya Prasad, Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things

“Avani rolled her eyes. “You read too many romance novels.â€�

“I read exactly the right number of romance novels,â€� Rani returned. “You’ll see. This family needs me.”
Maya Prasad, Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things

Maya Prasad, Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things

“Nothing is too much to ask for because time is so precious and fleeting and because anyone who has ever truly loved you should want the most for you and because you should want the most for yourself, too.”
Maya Prasad, Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things

“...she spotted his silhouette in the shadows, the sea behind him churning with smoke and dragons and night whispers. A thrill raced through her veins, the drug of endless possibilities. The evening was hers to claim, and claim it she would.”
Maya Prasad, Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things

“And so she closed her eyes
and the world was dark
with bright patches that filtered in
through her lids
she saw stars and nebulas
and felt the warmth of a sun
close to her”
Maya Prasad, Wild Wishes and Windswept Kisses
