15 Hiraeth Quotes That Will Haunt You (In a Good Way)
Ranked by Emotional Damage
Some stories live in your bones long after the last page. The House of Teeth saga isn’t just a series—it’s a symphony of grief, love, survival, and soul-biting tenderness. These quotes? They don’t whisper. They howl.
Here are 15 of the most haunting lines from across the series—ranked from emotionally rattling to soul-obliterating. You’ve been warned.
15. “It takes a supernova to understand the power of rebirth.”
To Dream Beneath Dying Stars
The softest heartbreak in the cosmos. This one burns quietly, like healing in starlight.
14. “They lost themselves in it... in the way it almost felt like escape.”
The Color of Regret
The ache of dissociation wrapped in warmth. Beautiful. Dangerous. Familiar.
13. “Love is not a cure.”
The Color of Regret
For the ones who thought being loved would make them whole. A clean, devastating truth.
12. “A man caught between the weight of his family’s name and the fire in his own soul.”
No Kingdom for a Fang
Rexar Fang, condensed to ash and poetry. The tragedy of inheritance.
11. “She hadn’t known words could feel like hands—like they could grab hold of her ribs and squeeze...”
The Color of Regret
Anxiety in lyric form. If you’ve ever read something that felt like being grabbed—this is it.
10. “Grief was a language he’d grown fluent in. He just wished it didn’t sound so much like silence.”
To Dream Beneath Dying Stars
You don’t cry after this one. You sit in the quiet. And it echoes.
9. “Even ghosts deserve to be held sometimes.”
To Dream Beneath Dying Stars
Softness for the haunted. This one is a balm for every reader who’s ever felt unholdable.
8. “Because grief made ghosts out of places—and within a person’s chest.”
To Dream Beneath Dying Stars
Atmospheric and raw. For the memory-heavy, the hollow-hearted, the never-quite-whole.
7. “You ever think that maybe people leave because they’re f*ed up, not because you are?”
House of Teeth
Said by Remi to Kriia near the end of Book 1, after she tempts him back into their shared darkness.
This isn’t just a line—it’s a lifeline. It’s the moment someone gives you permission to stop blaming yourself.
6. “I hope… wherever you are now… someone’s saving you, too.”
To Dream Beneath Dying Stars
A prayer for someone lost. For readers who send texts that never get answered—and mean every word anyway.
5. “I never wanted to hurt you.” / “Then why do you keep doing it?”
The Color of Regret
Two lines. Endless pain. If you’ve ever loved someone who couldn’t stop breaking you—you know.
4. “Remi stayed there, cradling his sister like she was still that bright-eyed little girl sneaking into his bed after thunderstorms...”
To Dream Beneath Dying Stars
Sibling love as an act of grief. A knife made of memory. It hurts.
3. “You always had a bad habit of thinking people actually want you.”
The Color of Regret
Spoken by Remi’s mother. This one is poison, and the worst part is—he believes it.
2. “Everything went quiet. And all that was left was the scream still echoing inside him, with no mouth to give it shape.”
This is Chapter 4. This is when the light goes out in Remi’s world.
This is when everything changes.
1. “A wolf is a wolf, even in a cage, even dressed in silk.”
To Dream Beneath Dying Stars
This line doesn’t just hurt. It claims you. For every reader who has ever masked, softened, shrunk for safety—this quote says: I see you. You’re still dangerous. And that’s beautiful.
