Richelle Mead: Likeness (page 3)

“Rose is in red,
But never in blue,
Sharp as a thorn,
Fights like one too.”

“I have it on good authority that Victor's going to have car trouble. Also that Robert really likes Cheerios, so if you want some, you're out of luck. He doesn't seem like the sharing type.”

“I took a deep breath and said: “I fell in love with a vampire.”

And like that, I was blinded by light.”

“In fact I was fairly certain there was no one in the entire world quite like Adrian Ivashkov.”

“Rose never would have done anything like that,' he countered. He paused to reconsider, and I could've sworn there was a hint of a smile there. 'Well at least not in such a public setting.'- Dimitri Belikov”

“But once in a while… I don't know. I feel so close, Rose. So close to the edge. Like if I allow myself one small misstep, I'll plunge away and never come back. It's like I'll lose myself.”

“Okay. Now you have to move your arms and legs.”
“I know how to make a snow angel.”
“Then do it! Otherwise, you’re more like a chalk outline at a police crime scene.”

“Jill was tall and slim, like most Moroi. With that figure came a modest chest. Angeline's chest… was not so modest.”

“I'm telling you, I wanted to. But I was trapped. You of all people should know what it's like being caught between groups”

“This is insane," I said blankly. "I'm the instrument of an all-powerful primordial deity's wave of chaos and destruction."

"That's kind of extreme" said Dante jovially. "It's not like you work for Google or anything.”

“Rose and Dimitri moved almost as one entity, like a matched pair of wolfes or lions, both wary and deadly as they studied their surroundings, taking no detail or person for granted.”

“She heard Adrian say to Christian, ʺYou know, your shirtʹs kind of grungy-looking. Seems like you could put in a little more effort since youʹre dating a princess.ʺ”

“You're beautiful in battle…. Like an avenging angel come to deliver the justice of heaven."

"Funny. That is kind of why I'm here."

"Angels fall, Rose.”

“My god, Sage. Your eyes. How have I never noticed them? When you stand in the light. They're amazing… like molten gold. I could paint those… They're beautiful. You're beautiful.”

“Sitting beside Abe was Adrian Ivashkov--my more-or-less boyfriend. Adrian was a royal Moroi--and another spirit user like Lissa. He'd been crazy about me (and often just crazy) ever since we first met”

“Are you kidding? He's arrogant, sarcastic, likes to intimidate people, and—oh." Okay. Maybe she had a point.”

“I said earlier that dead things don't always stay dead. Well, I'm one of them. don't worry - I'm not like the Strigoi. But I did die once (I don't recommend it).”

“Well. Like I said, I dont want to fight anymore. I dont want us to hate each other. And… well… I squeezed my eyes shut and then opened them. No matter how I fee about us… I want you to be happy”

“would never make up anything like that.”
"That's because Aaron doesn't say anything that requires words of more than one syllable.”
