“Love fades.”

“Eh bien, je crois que si certaines personnes écrivent les histoires, d'autres les vivent.”

“There’s a big difference between death threats and love letters–even if the person writing the death threats still claims to actually love you. Of course, considering I once tried to kill someone I loved, maybe I had no right to judge.”

“Conversation was irrelevant. Only pie mattered.”

“It was like having a genie. I'd only get so many wishes.”

“And I could see his internal struggle become an all out war. "It wouldn't have made a difference. Not with Adrian involved," he said….. "I meant it. I won't be that guy Rose. I won't be that man that takes someone else's girlfriend.”

“This is a great idea,” said Trey. “You kids should totaly go see that play. Make a whole day of it. Grab some dinner and hang out at the library or whatever it is you do for fun.”

“As amusing as it was to see him lovestruck, we had to stay on track. I snapped my fingers in front of Marcus's face. "Focus," I said.”

“I clung to that spark of hope,
nurturing it into a small flame that

“But it's not the name I'd give to a conqueror of worlds… I would've gone with Thundro or Ragnor. I might just call him Thundro anyway.”

“The queen's guards might have been the best of the best, but Dimitri… well, my former lover and instructor was in a category all his own. His fighting skills were beyond anyone else's, and he was using them all in defense of me.”

“Right. As opposed to your cradle-robbing mentor. I don't really see you making much progress with him.”

“Never thought I’d see the day when you’d throw your arms around a vam - someone like me”

“Because she told me - she was afraid thatwas moving in on Adrian."

"Really? Did you defend our love?”

“Can't you… I don't. Find a hobby or something?"
"Being charming is my hobby.”

“Adrian, you're a genius.”

“But why would Victor and Robert take her? And how the hell did two old men subdue a teenage girl anyway?”

“I just told you to be quiet. That's one step away from asking you to wash my laundry and make me a sandwich.”
