Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 7

“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.”

“Even Christian—the poster child for "smartass"—looked grim.”

“I can pick a lock. How do you think I got into my parents' liquor cabinet in middle school?”

“My death will not be penciled on someone's calendar.”

“Did Belikov bend the rules of time and space to get here so fast? He can do that, right?”

“That's pretty weird—and when I say something's weird, you know it's serious.”

“I can be a good friend, or a bad enemy.”

“Love and loyalty runs deeper than blood.”

“Now I see some family resemblance. I was starting to wonder if Jill was adopted, but you two kind of look like each other."
"So does our mailman back in North Dakota," said Adrian.”

“This was the last thing I expected. You destroy my life and then feed me some inspiratonal philosophy.”

“None of the bravado he usually showed was there. I guess there was "usually" and then there was being held in the grip of a really ripped, really tall, and really pissed off Russian guy.”

“P. P. S. Just because I like you, it doesn't mean I still don't think you're an evil creature of the night. You are.”

“I just rely on natural talent," said Adrian, strolling up to the start of the Dragon's Lair. "When you have such a wealth of it to draw from, the danger comes from having too much.”

“No matter how long or how difficult, we will undo whatever that Moroi boy has done to you."

I managed a wavering smile, tasting blood in my mouth. "You sure about that, Dad? Because he's doneto me.”

“Maybe you don't need beauty sleep, but some of us aren't so lucky.”

“Impossible situations are our specialty.”

“Nice blouse, Sage,” Adrian told me, deadpan. “It really brings out the khaki in your pants.”

“It’s Adrian Ivashkov logic. Don’t try to understand it. Just roll with it.”

“What's that?" he asked, when I stood beside him again.

"Halos," I said with a grin. "For heavenly creatures like us."

"That might be a stretch.”

“Why not see which is brighter: your aura or the sun?”

“But perhaps the best part of all was that I, Sydney Katherine Sage, guilty of constantly analyzing the world around me, well, I stopped thinking.”

“Sydney spent a lot of time on my bed these days.
Unfortunately, it wasn't with me.”

“Did you know," he said slowly, "That Victor Dashkov is sitting on your bed?"
"Yeah," I said. "It was kind of a shock to us too.”

“What happened? Did a house fall on your sister?" I asked. Maybe there was a benefit to our language barrier. She pursed her lips.
"You can't stay here much longer," she said.
My mouth dropped open.
"You… you speak English?"
She snorted. "Of course.”

“Sometimes it's worth lingering on the journey for a while before getting to the destination.”

“Vampires. Honestly, they're like children sometimes.”

“He leaned closer to me and then seemed shocked as he realized what he was doing.

"Why would you do that? Why would you do that for me?”

“I bet you never thought the hardest part of finding your ‘saviorʹ would be getting her mom to let her stay out past curfew.”

“Some people read books for fun.”

“Guardian Belikov is the princess's guardian now," said Kirova, "Herguardian."
"You got cheap foreign labour to protect Lissa?”
