Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 20

“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.”

“Unbelievable," I said. "First you wanted to hide her away to keep you alive. Now you actually want her out in the world to use her compulsion for your own psycho plans.”

“Yeah, I was at the Masquerade of the Damned.”

“Dimitri: "Do not do that again."Rose: "Don't kiss me back then."- Dimitri Belikov & Rose Hathaway (Frostbite)”

“I don’t know, Sage. You threw yourself in the line of pepper spray for me. You must like me just a little bit.” “I— I figured it’d be a shame to ruin your pretty face,” I stammered.”

“Adrian, we hashed this out! Everything's gone perfectly until now. Why would you even think about deviating from the plan?'

'Um, because that's how we roll?”

“My mom beat me up," I informed my reflection. It looked back sympathetically.”

“You did what you did out of love. I can't be mad at you over that. It was stupid, but that's how love is. Do you have any idea what I'd do for you? To keep you safe?”

“Besides, I could hardly complain to the administration that I was being forced to learn magic.”

“Since when do we even play games?”

“Since when don’t we play games? Games of life, games of death. Games of love, of hope, of chance, of despair, and of all the myriad wonders in between.”

I rolled my eyes at the newcomer. “Hello, Carter.”

“Behaviors and feelings rarely line up”

“Your truths are worse than your lies.”

“For every bad thing in life, there are more good things to tip the balance.”

“We will undo whatever that Moroi boy has done to you."

"You sure about that, Dad? Because he's doneto me.”

“Setting out around midnight, I couldn't help shaking my head, "We're the goddamned hottest vampire hunters ever." I muttered.”

“Adrian suddenly made an abrupt turn onto a side street we'd nearly driven past. I jerked upright as he clipped the curb.
"What are you doing? Think about your tires!”

“Did you pick that out?" I asked Dimitri. Honestly, I would have expected him to bend a piece of steel with his bare hands and present her with that.”

“You can live a lifetime in two years.”

“Dimitri: "They weren't supposed to let you in."Rose: "Yeah. Well, I kind of found a work-around."Dimitri: "Of course you did."- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)”

“No one had ever called me unnatural before, except for the time I put ketchup on a taco.”

“Holy crap,” I said. While staring off at Rose and Dimitri, a brilliant flash had caught my eye—a flash on Rose’s finger.
“What’s that?” I exclaimed. “Did you rob Lissa’s crown jewels?”

“I looked back and forth at them in amazement. I didn't know if I was witnessing a fight or foreplay. I wasn't thrilled about either option.”

“Cheaters, I thought.”

“Well, well, well," I said. "If it isn't the people responsible for unleashing Rose Hathaway on the world. You've got a lot to answer for.”

“You look too pretty to be useful.”

“Maybe you're graduating from fireballs to lightning bolts," Adrian suggested. "I bet it'd be a lot like throwing ninja stars. Except, well, you could incinerate people.”

“Being with him after so long, after everything we'd endured… it was like coming home.”

“I looked around at us all: me in my nightgown, Kiyo bare-chested, Dorian in his extravagant robes, and Tim in his Native getup. God, I muttered, standing up, we all look like the village people.”

“Sleep with Seth Mortensen? Good grief. It was the most preposterous thing I'd ever heard. It was appalling. If I absorbed his life force, there was no telling how long it'd be until his next book came out.”

“He anxiously touched his hair. "I think my hair gel's frozen.”
