Frasi di Richelle Mead

pagina 9

“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.”

“He's hot like, the kind of hot that makes you stop walking on the street and get hit by traffic.”

“You'd give up drinking to go see your dad?"
"Well, not permanently," he said. "That'd be ridiculous. But maybe I could switch to something slightly cheaper for a while. Like… slushes. Do you know how much I love those? Cherry, especially.”

“Honor, I thought. For real: the guardians should have taught it. Because I hadn't learned it.”

“So. Are you guys here to convert me or sell me siding?”

“Things on the essential list: vodka, Nine Inch Nails, a steady supply of mortal men, and an all-purpose bitchy attitude.”

“How come all the harmless people were so lame? Maybe that was the definition of safe.”

“Wow,” said Adrian. He sat down on the bed and tested its bounciness, giving it a nod of approval. “This is amazing. What do you think, buttercup?”

“I have no words,” I said honestly.

He patted the spot beside him. “Want to try it out?”

“You did not just say that. I have a feeling we're on the verge of hugging and coming up with cute nicknames for each other.”

“What are you? An after school special?”

“You should know better.ʺ
ʺIʹve never known better,ʺ he countered. ʺYou should know that.”

“… hot pink with a star done in rainbow rhinestones on the front. It was god-awful.
I bought it.”

“Abe shook his head, and now the smile was gone altogether. "That's not the reason either. Don't lie to me little girl."
I felt my hackles going up. "And don't interrogate me, old man.”

“This college would probably have the same problem as the last one did."
I frowned, "What's that?"
"Homework.”

“Yeah, that’s exactly what I want. To help my girlfriend get her old boyfriend back.”

“I don't care," said Seth. "I would have done it. I would have sold my soul for you. You and me… I told you. Something's always going to keep us near each other… even if we aren't together.”

“We cannot road trip to Paris.”

“Are you in a suit?' I managed at last, my voice choking up. 'You didn’t have to dress up for me.'

'Quiet, Sage,' he said. 'I’ll make the hilarious one-liners during this daring rescue.”

“But Rose? While I'm fine with you two dating and being happy, please try not to brake his heartmuch when the time comes.”

“Melbourne, I always knew you'd need to learn about this kind of thing. I 'd just kind of hoped you'd learn it on a real guy.”

“Sydney, this is the kind of shirt that says, ‘You’re never getting in here.”

“Fine" I said icily. "I'll do this. but i want it noted that I'm doing this against my will."

"I think we already figured that out, Miss Hathaway.”

“Are we going to New Orleans?"

"No", she said, backing out of the spot. "We're going to West Virginia."

"I assume by 'West Virginia,' you actually mean 'Hawaii,'" I said. "Or some place equally exciting.”

“It’s Kahlua, Sage. Packed with sugar and coffee flavor.”

“Don't worry, I won't bite. At least not in the way you're afraid of.”

“Sydney Katherine Sage,” he said, his green eyes full of love and earnestness. “Would you do a brooding, deadbeat Moroi the honor of being his wife?”

“What do you think Dimitri? Is this a good idea, Dimitri? Please give us your blessing so that we can fall down and worship you, Dimitri.”

“You understand your responsibilities better than guardians twice your age. You'll do what you have to do to succeed.”

“I want her to be happy. It's worth sacrificing myself." -Eddie”

“Look, don’t get me wrong. I worship the ground this guy walks on. I’m excited to meet him tonight. I’m dying to meet him tonight. If he wanted to carry me off and make me his love slave, I’d do it, so long as I got advance copies of his books.”
