Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 8

“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.”

“It was the most convulted, ridiculous piece of logic I'd heard in awhile… It was something I would have come up with.”

“Did you know that it's a lot harder to put organs back in the body than it is to get them out?”

“Ivashkov," she repeated, her face the picture of serenity. "My name is Sydney Ivashkov.”

“Rose. Roza. Open your eyes." I've never heard heard his voice so strained, so frantic. "Don't go to sleep on me. Not yet.”

“What hope is there?" I asked. "If even angels fall, what hope is there for the rest of us?”

“There was a lot of apologizing going on, but I realized that was how it was with people you cared about. You forgave each other and moved on.”

“I stopped. She was bleeding after all. Perfect lines crossed her wrists, not near any crucial veins, but enough to leave wet red tracks across her skin. She hadn; t hit her veins when she did this; death hadn't been her goal.”

“I couldn't stop staring at the cave, back where Dimitri was, back where half of my soul was.”

“Escape plan number seventeen," I told her. "Run away and open a juice stand in Fresno."
"Why Fresno?"
"Sounds like the kind of place people drink a lot of juice.”

“Gaining superpowers doesn't mean you know how to use them.”

“Cool,” I said. “You can IM with the Council from campus. Maybe you can command people to do your homework.”

“This is very domestic of you," he said. "It's kinda hot, really. Giving me all sorts of fantasies about you in an apron vacuuming my house.”

“How do you feel right now?"
"I hurt like hell."
"You'll feel worse tomorrow."
"So?"
"So, better get a jump on this while you still feel… not as bad."
"What kind of logic is that?" I retorted.”

“I looked him in the eye. “I will always love you.”
Then I plunged the stake into his chest.”

“When Love And Jealousy
Collide On The Slopes,
Winter Break Turns Deadly”

“Тhere isnʹt much I wouldnʹt do for you. Тhe stupider, the better.”

“Call me crazy for asking this, but, um, are Lissa and I going with you?"
"No"
"No?"
"No.”

“I find prostitutes vastly important.”

“I love you, and beneath all that logic, calculation, and superstition, I know you love me too.”

“Very often the things we most desire come only after much patience and struggle.”

“I don't know, but I think it's going to be good.”

“Can you come over to Amberwood? I need you to help me break curfew and escape my dorm.”
There were a few moments of silence. “Sage, I’ve been waiting two months to hear you say those words. You want me to bring a ladder?”

“Moroi shied from the sunlight but as I watched Sydney, I knew without a doubt that humans had been made for the sun.”

“Why would you do that? Why would you act like you didn't know how to drive?"
"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”

“This wasn’t the first time I’d been pulled out of bed for a crucial mission. It was, however, the first time I’d been subjected to such a personal line of questioning.

“Are you a virgin?”

“Not true,” said Adrian. “All guys mean the same thing when they want to ‘get to know a girl better.’ You’re a wellbred young lady, so I understand why you’d be too innocent to understand. Good thing you’ve got me here to interpret.”

“Love fades. Mine has.”

“She felt so much emotionally, she would say, that a physical outlet - physical pain - was the only way to make her internal pain go away. It was the only way she could control it.”

“Oh… Adrian, I've got one more favor to ask you. A big one."

"Fondue?" he asked hopefully.”
