2 " Saints preserve us,' Dr. Kellen said, and squeezed Galen's shoulder. 'What have we done to our youth? "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Midnight Ball (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #1)

3 " You know,” Rolf said, “you read stories when you're little, and you think it would be so amazing to have adventures happen to you. Then you actually go on one, and find out that it's awful. Nothing but bad food, sleeping cold on the hard ground, and treachery. "

6 " Pansy rolled over and went to sleep, but Petunia stayed awake long after Olga left, and long after Oliver crawled out from under the bed, grabbed some sandwiches, and slipped out the door. She hoped that he was going to Galen and Rose's room, and she hoped, too that he hadn't known she was awake when he had leaned over and kissed her hair. She wanted to savor that touch forever. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #3)

7 " She [Pansy] pushed in next to Poppy so that she could see him around the guard's elbow. She was as tall as Poppy, with shining dark-brown hair and blue eyes. An utterly lovely girl, as all the princesses were, yet Oliver thought Petunia was far more beautiful. "

8 " He dug his heels into his horse's flanks and sped down the path. He heard the others call out behind him, but he ignored them. He was sure Karl and Johan and the others would have searched the rosebush and that entire are carefully enough; there was nothing to learn there. But he wanted to get to the hunting lodge, to find Prince Grigori and punch him in the nose for losing Petunia, and then make certain that her sisters were alright. And then her would find Petunia, and he would bring her home. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #3)

9 " Love you always, miss you always... running day and night, leaving the place of sun and moon, of ice and snow.

Never look back, never forget. "

― Jessica Day George , Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow

10 " But I really would love to give her a very special gift. I was hoping if I did, she might give me a kiss in return, instead of the brotherly hugs I always get instead. "

― Jessica Day George , Dragon Slippers (Dragon Slippers, #1)

11 " I already have a plan." Celie said, raising her hand as she would with her tutor.
"Do you?" Rolf's eyes gleamed. "What is it?"
"I don't think you'll like it, Lilah." Celie apologized straightaway. "It involves manure...a great deal of manure."
Rolf started to laugh again. "

12 " The palace smelled of stone and paint, of people and food and beeswax floor polish.
The garden smelled only of flowers and earth. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Midnight Ball (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #1)

13 " How wonderful," he purred. "I've been longing to speak to you for days, Princess Cecelia."
"And I've been wanting to kick you in the shin for days. "

― Jessica Day George , Tuesdays at the Castle (Castle Glower, #1)

14 " Er," Oliver said. "He talks even less than the one Lily married," the crone remarked to Walter. "Though when the mood strikes him, he asks just as many questions as Galem." "I'm sorry," Oliver said weakly. The old woman nodded. "You are forgiven," she pronounced in a queenly tones. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #3)

15 " Can you be sure?"
"I haven't spent the last fifteen hundred years learning how to knit my own socks, boy!" The crone looked like she might box Heinrich's ears, if she could reach them. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #3)

16 " And then what did you do, Lord Oliver?" Karl's eight-year-old daughter gazed up at him in awe, as though this were the best story she had ever heard. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #3)

17 " I want to help you," Oliver said.
"Why?" Galen looked up at him. "Because of Petunia?" Oliver was relieved that the prince didn't seem to be skeptical about his conviction. He simply looked like he wanted to know, and so did Heinrich, when Oliver dared to look at the other prince. Oliver was very aware that Heinrich had known his father. Had known him better than Oliver had, in fact.
"Because of her," Oliver said at last. "Even though I have only met her twice, really...I just..."
"I risked my life to save Rose after only speaking with her twice," Galen said with a small smile. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #3)

18 " Galen!" The crown princess flung herself into her husband's arms with a glad cry. The other princesses shrieked and threw themselves at their brother-in-law only a moment later. "

― Jessica Day George , Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy, #3)

19 " Lily slumped, putting her shaking hands on his shoulders. "But you will, won't you?" Pansy's voice broke into a sob.
"Yes, Pan," Galen said quietly.
"I don't like that," Pansy said. Galen stood and put his arms around the fine-boned girl, while Rose continued to comfort Lily. Oliver looked away. It was such a private moment; he hated to intrude on it. Galen was beloved by all of the sisters, but the love between him and Rose was so clear and shining that it hurt to look at them, spending their last hours together caring for the other girls. "

20 " I've faced worse than a dressmaker who breaths fire. "
