The Burning God, RF Kuang
"It doesn't go away. It never will. But when it hurts, lean into it. It's so much harder to stay alive. That doesn't mean you don't deserve to live. It means you're brave."
Lirael, Garth Nix
"I'm afraid, too," Lirael said quietly. "Of Death and Hedge and probably a thousand other things. But I'd rather be afraid and do something than just sit and wait for terrible things to happen."
Fairest, Gail Carson Levine
The mood in the hall was leaden.

Abhorsen, Garth Nix, x2
She did feel sorry for Nick. It wasn't his fault he had been chosen by an ancient spirit of evil to be its avatar.
Trace Elements, Donna Leon
She looked at him in surprise, but then her expression changed to that of a leopard seal just noticing a baby penguin paddling in the water above it.
Stargate Atlantis: Homecoming, Jo Graham & Melissa Scott
"Yes, I'm wearing a baby," Sheppard said. "It's very funny. Can we get past that?"
"Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case," Across the Wall, Garth Nix, x2

Stargate Atlantis: The Lost, Jo Graham & Amy Griswold
"There is nothing to do but live with it," Radek said. "Or die." He took a casual sip of his coffee. "And no, I do not think you are suicidal. If you were, you would only need to stop ducking."
