Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 3

“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.”

“A gun. I had been brought down by a gun. It was practically comical. Cheaters, I thought.”

“Wait. You think I'm going to die? That's why you slept with me?”

“Adrian, I'm on a date. Why are you here? On my car?”

“You look confused," said Adrian.
I shook my head and sighed. "I think I'm just overthinking things."
He nodded solemnly. "That's why I try to never do it.”

“I steeled myself for the next response. I knew it was going to be one of the Zen life lessons. […]
Instead he kissed me.”

“I've heard a lot about you, Rose. Don't worry. It was all good."
"No, it wasn't.”

“Sage," he said. "What are you wearing?"
I sighed and stared down at the dress. "I know. It's red. Don't start. I'm tired of hearing about it."
"Funny," he said. "I don't think I could ever get tired of looking at it.”

“There was a look of woe on his face that was almost comical. Raids, bullets, criminals… no problem. A missing duster? Crisis.”

“Well, you've finally got a license to kill. It's about time.”

“Adrian!" Something inside of me burst. "Will you shut the hell up for five seconds?”

“You've always been my equal, Roza.”

“Adrian's face was the picture of perfect politeness and restraint, meaning something disastrous was about to happen.”

“I need you,ʺ said Lissa.
ʺI hear that from women a lot,ʺ said Adrian.”

“Everyone has light around them, except for you. You have shadows.”

“Mmm. O positive, my favorite.”

“And I thought the whole point of my education was that violence IS the answer.”

“I'll find you. There is no place in this world you can hide from me. I'm watching.
Love, Dimitri”

“Life, unfortunately, doesn't seem to care what we want.”

“Do you want me to call you Celery Stick instead of Cupcake or Honey-Pie? It just doesn’t inspire the same warm and fuzzy feelings.”

“Rose, I'm an addict with no work ethic who is likely going to go insane. I'm not like you. I'm not a super-hero."
"Not yet," I said.”

“It’s okay. Everything’s going to be okay. You can let go of the sword."
"I can’t. I can’t leave him alone. I have to protect him."
"You have.”

“He sighed and then focused his eyes right on me. It was like drowning, drowning in seas of green. There was nothing in the world except for those eyes.
"I want to kiss you, Rose," he said softly. "And I want you to want me too.”

“I decided the Alchemists needed an entire department devoted to handling Adrian Ivashkov.”

“Taking a deep breathe, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life.
I walked away.”

“I wasn't fooled. He was avoiding looking at me. "There's nothing to talk about."
"I knew you'd say that. Actually, it was a toss-up between that and 'I don't know what you're talking about.'"
Dimitri sighed.”

“I don't care if you say we can't be together. I don't care if you think I'm the most evil, unnatural creature walking on earth. You can think whatever you want, go whatever you want. I'm going to just go on loving you, even if it's hopeless.”

“Under normal circumstances, you inviting me to the bedroom would be the highlight of my day.”

“Yeah, that's exactly what I want. To help my girlfriend get her old boyfriend back." He turned away again, and I heard him mutter, "I needdrinks.”

“Ah, those two. In a fight, they’re lethal. Around each other, they melt.”
