Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 21

“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.”

“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
chased some of the shadows in my heart
away.”

“If I propose, you'll know it. For one thing, I'll be hyperventilating.”

“I can understand bitchiness in any language.”

“All right," I managed to say, just before I crumpled to the floor. "Let's see what you've got.”

“Don't be sorry you loved him. That's part of you, part you have to let go…”

“I secretly wondered if Dimitri's problem might be that he was jealous. He hadn't pulled Lissa aside to yell at her. The thought made me slightly happy, but then I remembered my earlier curiosity about why Dimitri had even wandered by.”

“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.”

“That was the best not-sex ever.”

“So, tell me this: suppose you manage to kidnap her again and take her off to the mall. While you're there a Strigoi comes at you. What will you do?
Depends on what store we're in.”

“… and motioned me toward a spot next to a middle-aged Moroi in a very formal and very designer black suit. The suit screamed, I'm sorry the queen is dead, and I'm going to look fashionable while showing my grief”

“That’s the last time you’re going to kiss me,” I warned when it ended.
He smiled knowingly, and in his eyes, I could see his own memories of that night. “So you say.”

“See? There it is again. My flame in the dark.”

“Some rules are bigger than the universe.”

“Well, I'm supposed to be crazy, right? And there isn't much I wouldn't do for you. The stupider the better."
- Adrian Ivashkov”

“There were drinks and food in full force, and some Moroi guy had a guitar out and was trying to impress girls with his musical skills—which were nonexistent. In fact, his music was so awful that he might have discovered a new way to kill Strigoi.”
