Sherrilyn Kenyon cytaty

strona 21

„Zwycięzcy tworzą własną wersję prawdy.”

„To nie bogowie rzucają na nas klątwy, sami potępiamy siebie własnymi słowami i uczynkami.”

„Czy ja w ogóle coś dla ciebie znaczę?
(…)
– Tak, znaczysz, ale musisz przyznać, że ledwie się znamy.
– Wiem, a jednak, kiedy na ciebie patrzę, znam cię. Czuję cię w sercu tak głęboko, że to aż boli.”

„Bowiem wszystkie starożytne mity i legendy mają swoje korzenie w prawdzie, a czasem prawda wcale nas nie wyzwala. Czasem zniewala nas jeszcze bardziej.”

„Myślałam, że tylko kołek wbity w serce zabija wampira.
– Drewniany kołek w sercu zabija właściwie wszystko. A jeśli czegoś nie zabije, to uciekaj, gdzie pieprz rośnie.”

„Tego właśnie uczyła ta książka. Przypominała ludziom, że to dobrze, troszczyć się, i że kiedy raz wpuścisz kogoś do serca, nigdy nie jesteś naprawdę sam. Nawet najprostsza rzecz, taka jak patrzenie na niebo, może cię pocieszyć, choćby ten, kogo kochasz, był daleko.”

„Jak myślisz, dlaczego najechaliśmy Europę?
– Bo tam była?”

„Naprawdę powinieneś kochać kobietę, która zobaczyła cię nago i nie padła trupem.”

„To naprawdę trzeba opatrzeć.
– Niech Bóg broni, żebym wykrwawił się na śmierć – rzucił kąśliwie. – Wtedy musiałabyś targać za sobą mojego gnijącego trupa.
Zmarszczyła nos.
– Można mieć bardziej makabryczne poczucie humoru? Kto był twoim idolem, kiedy dorastałeś? Boris Karloff?
– Hannibal, skoro już pytasz.”

„Śmierć jest prosta, to życie jest trudne.”

“We are coming up on the Sumerian apokalypsi–. (Artemis)
I don’t think they use that word. (Kat)
Who cares what word they use? End of the world is end of the world regardless of whatever term you use for it! (Artemis)”

“It’s not manly to hurt others or belittle them. Respect and kindness require more courage because people take advantage of those.”

“So are we going to continue glaring angrily at each other while we pose in our tough stances? Or use our time to work out a plan that hopefully doesn’t end with our mutual deaths? (Acheron)”

“Now you’re thinking like me. A little eye-gouging, some slit nostrils…I could seriously get into that. (Acheron)”

“Have you two made friendly with the privates yet? (Eros)”

“Move or die. (Quills)
Never give someone a choice that doesn’t leave them with any way out except to hurt you. (Devyn)”

“Death is just a new beginning…at least in my religion. And extreme inebriation seriously helps. (Syn)”

“This one’s easy to use. The pointy end goes into their body. (Liza)”

“Adron! Don’t you hurt him. (Kiara)
I’m not going to hurt him, Mom. I’m going to kill him. (Young Adron)”

“It's settled, then," Grace said. She turned back to Nick. "Take the Jag to the car wash and for heaven's sake clean the McDonald's Happy Meal boxes out of it."

"Hey," Nick said, his face offended. "That's a low blow. Those boxes are collectibles.”

“Let’s just say I understand betrayal. And having been where he is, I know the explosion to come. Trust me. ‘Duck’ won’t quite cover it. (Sin)”

“By understanding the nuances of the world around you and how to survive the temptations, you can rule anything. Even yourself”

“You'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides.”

“I’m going. But before I do, let me congratulate all of you on your stupidity. (Fury)”

“I mumble hocus-pocus and the next thing you know, I’m a cat. (Ravyn)
I suppose it’s a step up. The last guy I had in my house could only turn into a beer-drinking pig. (Susan)”

“Desi, babe. Still playing your little games, I see. Now why don't you be a good Daimon and show yourself to me? (Kyrian)”

“Don’t play that game with me, Acheron. Tell me what I need to know! (Xypher)
Nice tone. We should rent you out to record Halloween albums. (Acheron)”

“You're a Dark-Hunter."
He kissed her lightly on the lips. "What I am is a man in love with a woman. I want you, Amanda. For the rest of my blessedly short mortal life. I want to wake at dawn with you in my arms and watch our children play and fight.”

“Boy, you better check that tone. (Wulf)
Yeah, yeah, ya scare me. I’m even wetting my pants while in your terrifying, gut-wrenching presence. See me shiver and quiver? Ooo, ahhh, ooo. (Chris)”

“Death always before dishonor. (Julian)”

“Save me, Shahara. Save me from the lonely nights that never end. (Syn)”

“You would make a great teacher. (Grace)
Commander to teacher. Why not call me Cato the Elder, and really insult me while you’re at it? (Julian)”

“You really don’t want to take that tone with me. (Varyk)
Well, I do have several others we can choose from. Contemptuous. Angry. Snide. Aggravated. How about I just settle on extreme sarcasm and we call it even? (Dev)”

“You know, if my life was a horse, I’d shoot it. (Susan)”

“I need some Starbucks. What about you? (Cassandra)
Always game for java. Give me ground-up beans or give me death. (Katra)”

“And you take care, too, Shahara. Remember the lies we tell ourselves to survive seldom bring peace to our souls. (Nero)”

“Sebastos Eudorus Parthenopaeus. He is really going to hate us when he has to learn to spell all that.” – Acheron”

“Do you know what happened to the last person who took that tone with me? (Xypher)
Let me guess…Disembowelment. Probably painful. Definitely slow. (Simone)”

“Was it like this? (Jesse)
(Jesse made an inhuman ghost noise.)
That sounds like Darth Vader choking on a chicken bone. (Gloria)”
