Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 14

“Mi sentii pervadere da un’ondata di commozione, ma anche di gelosia.. e persino rabbia. Ero io quella che Dimitri avrebbe dovuto guardare in quel modo. Come osava? Come osava comportarsi come se Lissa fosse la persona più importante dell’universo? Certo, aveva fatto tanto per salvarlo, ma ero stata IO a viaggiare per mezzo mondo sulle sue tracce. Ero stata IO a rischiare in continuazione la vita per lui. E, soprattutto, ero IO che lo amavo. Come poteva voltarmi le spalle in quel modo?”

“God, I feel so stupid.”

“Tutte le storie hanno un seme di verità.”

“Non sei morto”, mormorai.
Quasi si strozzò con una risata. “Anch’io sono contento di vederti, cara”.”

“Chi minaccia di tradirti ora non rinuncerà mai a farlo.”

“La guerra fa emergere il mostro che è nell’uomo.”

“Se le credenze di qualcuno non fanno del male al prossimo, non credo che quel qualcuno debba essere punito.”

“Siamo tutti responsabili delle nostre esistenze… e dobbiamo vivere con le conseguenze delle scelte che facciamo.”

“So far I’m not seeing a lot of difference between me and a carnival con-man.”

“Sage,” Adrian declared. “These hands don’t do manual labor.”

“Being with you is the best thing that's ever happened to me, the one perfect decision I've made in a lifetime of fumbling and poor judgment. I'd go through it all again to be by your side. Never doubt that. Never doubt how I feel about you.”

“Bringing children into it was just low, I decided. At least heʹd left puppies out.”

“Get up guys. We’ve got a visit to pay.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I am not hanging out with Blake Lazar again.”

“Great," I said. "Another conference call. I havegot to start blocking your number.”

“Metaphors. This was the cost of making out with an artist.”

“ʺWe need someone to get the roomʹs attention,ʺ I said. ʺSomeone not afraid to make a spectacle—I mean, besides me, of course.ʺ”

“Do you love him?”

“If Victor was frightened by Dimitri's threat, he didn't show it. His jade green eyes glanced between the two of us. "You two are a match made in heaven. Or somewhere.”

“It's not my fault so much as my genius”

“Aw you'd never hurt me. My face is too pretty. -Adrian Ivashkov”

“How was it that Adrian Ivashkov, who never seemed to take anything seriously was the only one among these "responsible" people who paid attention to such small details? How was he the only one to really understand the magnitude of what I was feeling?”

“Weirdly, an image of Adrian’s Love painting came back to me. I thought of the jagged red streak, slashing through the blackness, ripping it
apart. Staring at Jill and her inconsolable pain, I suddenly understood his art a little bit better.”

“Don't worry, I won't bite. Well, at least not in the way you're afraid of." He chuckled at his own joke.
- Christian Ozera.”

“I love pity parties. I wish I'd brought hats" - Christian”

“I'm not really qualified to install a security system," said Dimitri.
"Really? There's something you can't do?" Adrian's voice was so soft that I could barely hear him, and he was sitting right next to me.”

“Giving advice was a lot harder than following it.”

“Sanity’s overated, my darling.”

“I just wish I could have all this and stand up to her a little. Rose would."
"Rose would have gotten herself arrested for treason the first time Tatiana asked her to do something.”

“Exactly," said Maddie. "What’s your favorite flavor?"
"I bet I can guess," said Simone. "Chocolate."
"Strawberry," said Maddie."Vanilla,” said Seth.”

“I wrote back with a quick message:I hit send and received a response back from him almost immediately.”

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

“And after a while… I mean how do you choose? Who gets to live? Part of life is that… well, some people have to die.”

“Adrian sighed. "I knew you staying out of trouble was too good to be true.”

“If not for me being stoned and clinging to a taco, it would have been terribly romantic.”

“I tried to dredge up the same reaction other girls had around Marcus, but nothing happened. No matter how hard I tried, I just didn't have that same attraction His hair was too blond, I decided. And his eyes needed a little more green.”

“I followed along because really, it was hard to say no to Dimitri Belikov about anything.”

“Sorry, Ms. Terwilliger. I'm flattered that you think I'm such an upstanding person, but I'm already caught up in one epic battle of good versus evil. I don't need another.”
