Sherrilyn Kenyon cytaty

strona 8

„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.”

“Like black, do you? (Cassandra)
It serves its purpose. It’s hard to look intimidating in pastels. (Wulf)”

“Honey, you need to get laid. (Selena)
Why don’t you speak a little louder, Lanie? I don’t think the guys in Canada were able to hear you. (Grace)
Oh, I don’t know. They’re probably headed south even as we speak. (Waiter)”

“You know the saying, don’t kill the messenger? Hold that thought really, really close to your hearts. (Hermes)”

“(Looking at their son on ultrasound.)
He looks like an angel. (Cassandra)
I don’t know. I think he looks like a frog or something. (Wulf)”

“still waters run deep. ~Tabitha”

“Is she okay? I mean, no offense, she sounds more mental than I do.”

“I hate you! (Artemis)
Oh, please don’t get my hopes up. You almost gave me a hard-on with that thought. At least tell me this time your hatred will last more than five minutes. (Acheron)”

“See… I knew baby Marissa was quality people, look how she's eating the head off the red-headed Artemis doll. Simi need to teach her to belch fire, then introduce her to the real heifer-Goddess herself(Simi)”

“I’m a professional bodyguard. (Leta)
Yeah, right. (Aiden)
Nope. All true. I know seventy-two ways to kill a man and sixty-nine of them look like an accident. (Leta)”

“Damn, Atlantean, what did you do? (Julian)
I apparently made a new friend. (Acheron)
I made a friend like that once. The bastard almost gutted me. (Julian)”

“Mistakes don't have to define us. They're how we learn and grow. They show us who and what we don't want to be. It's why they're mistakes.”

“You want the bad news, or the really bad news? (Eros)
Oh, let’s see…how about we make my day special, and start with the worst, then work our way up? (Julian)”

“I assure you, princess, if you saw the real me, you’d run for cover. (Zarek)
Only if I knew you’d be waiting under that cover for me. (Astrid)”

“Why did you hit him? (Grace)
Because it gave me a great deal of pleasure. (Julian)
Nice. You haven’t seen me in what, two thousand years? So, instead of a friendly, brotherly hug, I get slugged. (Eros)”

“Lips and tongues lie. But actions never do. No matter what words are spoken, actions betray the truth of everyone's heart.”

“In the end, life makes victims of us all.”

“Do you want my input or is this just an angry tirade you need to vent? (Acheron)
Both! (Kat)
Okay, you rant and I’ll add my comments at the end. (Acheron)”

“Zarek! I won’t leave you here to die. (Astrid)
It’s okay, princess. I don’t mind dying for you. (Zarek)”

“What’s going on? (Astrid)
Not much. Some invincible asshole is trying to kill me. (Zarek)”

“Aren't you an enigma wrapped in a thick coating of contradictions.”

“You aren’t old enough to have such regrets.”
“Pain doesn’t respect age, my lady.”

“Oh contraire, mon frère. I’m able to annoy all adults in ten syllables or less. Sometimes, I don’t even have to speak at all. I just walk into the room and it rankles them.”

“You’re the only thing I’ve ever done right in my entire life and if anything ever happened to you, they’d have to dig two graves ‘cause I couldn’t live a single day without my baby beside me. (Cherise)”

“Human will is the strongest will ever created. There are those who are born to succeed and those who are determined to succeed. The former fall into it, and the latter pursue it at all costs. They won’t be denied. Nothing daunts them.”

“You have the optimism of a child. (Julian)
Peter Pan all the way. (Grace)”

“He's right. I'm a worthless bastard fathered by a bastard even more worthless than I am." [Fury]”

“C'mon, Tabitha. You stabbed me the night we met without even blinking. (Valerius)
Yeah, but you were a dirtbag then. (Tabitha)
I think I'm offended. (Valerius)”

“My father was a history professor, and my mother a housewife—"

She married a house?”

“Alone at last. Oh, the pleasure of the pain. (Zarek)
You really do suffer from insanity, don’t you? (Thanatos)
Hardly. I have to say I enjoy every minute of it. (Zarek)”
