Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 5

“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.”

“All the while, my mind reeled with what had happened.”

“You aren't afraid of throwing yourself in the path of danger, but you're terrified of letting anyone in.”

“You're my flame in the dark. We chase away the shadows around each other.”

“Screw you," I told him in a low voice.
"Are you offering?”
"From what I've heard, there isn't much to screw," I shot back.”

“I’m not dangerous,” I breathed.

He brought his face toward mine. “You are to me.”

And somehow, against all reason, we were kissing.”

“I'm like a fine wine. I get better with age. The best is yet to come.”

“You know what we need?"

"A new plan?" asked Lissa.

"A miracle?" asked Eddie.

I paused and glared at them both before responding. Since when had they become the comedians here? "”

“I'm sorry."

"Be sorry you lied," he said, pressing a kiss to my forehead. "Don't be sorry you loved him. That's part of you, part you have to let go, yeah, but still something that's made you who you are.”

“Rose only hangs out with guys and psychopaths," said Mia.

"Well," he said cheerfully, "since I'm both a psychopath and a guy, that would explain why we're such good friends.”

“Adrian gave me a look that said I was wasting his time. "Because Jet sounds badass.”

“The centerhold.”

“How do you know?”

“Because we are the center.”

“You're in an awfully good mood," he observed. "Was there a sale at Khakis-R-Us?”

“I opened my eyes and met his dark, earnest gaze. "It's okay," I said. "It's okay now. I'm here I'll always be here for you.”

“But I couldn't help myself, couldn't help the way I felt as I recalled the bliss and rush of a vampire's bite.”

“Dmitri was at a total loss. It was a common reaction for people when I agreed to do something reasonable.”

“Because I’ve got a lot more terms of endearment to use. Honey pie. Sugarplum. Bread pudding."

“Why are they all high-calorie foods?”

“He was too perfect, despite being one of the most imperfect people I knew.”

“I’d mentioned this odd wardrobe choice to Adrian a couple of weeks ago:
“Isn’t Dimitri hot?”
Adrian’s response hadn’t been entirely unexpected:
“Well, yeah, according to most women, at least.”

“You can't fool me, comrade. You want to put on a cowboy hat and keep lawless bank robbers in line.''

"No time. I have enough trouble keeping you in line.”

“Isn’t it obvious, Sage? No, of course it isn’t. I did it so I’d have a reason to be around you — one I knew you couldn’t refuse.”

“Can't you… I don't know. Find a hobby or something?"
"Being charming is my hobby," said Adrian obstinately. "I'm the life of the party— even without drinking. I wasn't meant to be alone.”

“Because it gives him and excuse to be around her--without making it look like he gave in first. That way, he can still seem manly."

"That's ridiculous." Especially the part about Christian being manly.

"Guys do ridiculous things for love.”

“I supposed if you were going to make a career of breaking laws, you might as well know them.”

“Throughout history, people with new ideas—who think differently and try to change things—have always been called troublemakers.”

“Adrian stood there leaning against the doorframe, watching me with his heart in his eyes. In my chest, my own heart was breaking. On my cheek, the lily reminded me who I was.”

“You're better than this. Better than whatever it is you're going to do now.”

“At the same time, we both pulled back briefly still oh so close. Everything in the word rested on that moment.
"We can't…" He told me.
"I know," I agreed.
Then his mouth was on mine again, and this time I knew there would be no turning back.”

“My cigarettes and I are going outside. At least they show me respect.”

“I realized I’m in love. It's always been right in front of me.”
