Melissa Marr QUOTES

1 " Sometimes love means letting go when you want to hold on tighter. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

2 " We are what we are, neither a good or as bad as others paint us. And what we are doesn't change how truly we feel, only how free we are to follow those feelings. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

3 " Choose to be happy. It is what we have all done. "

― Melissa Marr , Fragile Eternity (Wicked Lovely, #3)

4 " In the end mortals always expired before faeries. They were such finite creatures. Their first heartbeat and breath were but a blink from death. To add the weight of nourishing his insatiable court in a time of peace was to hasten that unconscionably. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

5 " Chase away sorrow by living "

― Melissa Marr , Darkest Mercy (Wicked Lovely, #5)

6 " Will you be my forever, Donia? "

― Melissa Marr , Darkest Mercy (Wicked Lovely, #5)

7 " Life is too short to read books that I'm not enjoying. "

― Melissa Marr

8 " Talking won't change it. But sometimes it was what she wanted most, to tell someone; often, though, she just wanted to escape those horrid feelings, to escape herself, so there was no pain, no fear, no ugliness. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

9 " Getting ink felt right, like it would help her put her life in order, to move forwards. It was her body, despite the things that'd been done to it, and she wanted to claim it, to own it, to prove that to herself. She knew it wasn't magic, but the idea of writing her own identity felt like the closest she could get to reclaiming her life. Sometimes there's power in the act; sometimes there's strength in words. She wanted to find an image that represented those things she was feeling, to etch it on her skin as tangible proof of her decision to change. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

10 " By every mortal standard, the worst faeries in the world were those in the Dark Court. They fed on the baser emotions; they engaged in activities that the other-also amoral-faery courts repudiated. They were also the only ones she truly trusted or understood. "

― Melissa Marr , Faery Tales & Nightmares (Wicked Lovely)

11 " If he took her into his arms, he would keep her. He wouldn't let her suffer the way the other mortals had when he'd left them. He would keep her, with his court's permission or without it. Irial wouldn't take her, and Keenan wouldn't stand between them. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

12 " What is it doing to me? Will the darkness consume me? "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

13 " We are what we are, Nial, neither as good or as evil as others paint us. And what we are doesn't change how truly we feel, only how free we are to follow those feelings. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

14 " He had hopes, but hope wasn't a solution. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

15 " I used to think that once we started going out, Derek would change. When I admitted that to Tori, she nearly laughed herself into an aneurysm and gave me a lecture on the stupidity of expecting to change a guy. Maybe I didn’t have her dating experience, but I knew you didn’t go out with someone because you thought you’d change him. That wasn’t what I’d meant. I liked Derek the way he was. I’d just hoped getting closer would mean landing on the sharp side of his tongue less often. "

― Melissa Marr , Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions

16 " Discord says it's a good idea. That's comforting. "

― Melissa Marr , Darkest Mercy (Wicked Lovely, #5)

17 " If you stay here, you become lost. And no one can find you.

I like lost. "

― Melissa Marr , Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions

18 " It's a pelvis thrust, not a pelvic wiggle. "

― Melissa Marr , Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions

19 " Whatever this fearlessness, this strength, this difference was, she was starting to like it. "

― Melissa Marr , Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2)

20 " People change spouses more often than they clean out closets. And every time they say, 'This is the one. This is the person I'm going to spend eternity with.' Then forty or fifty years go by and you're just sick of each other, utterly sick, and it's on to the next 'true love.' My question is what good is eternity if you are eternally falling in and out of love? "
