Alison Goodman QUOTES

1 " I found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life. "

― Alison Goodman , Eon: Dragoneye Reborn (Eon, #1)

2 " And you are the girl's bitch, forever. "

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

3 " Watching my father plan and strategize for the resistance has taught me about trust.” She leaned forward. “Personal trust is very different from political trust, my lady. The first thrives on faith. The second requires proof, whether it be upfront or covert.” Awkwardly, she patted my hand. “His Majesty has always been a powerful man. Perhaps he has never had to distinguish between the two. "

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

6 " I know that love is about power, too. Who gives, who takes. Who is willing to risk showing their true self. "

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

7 " You have far more courage than you think you do. "

― Alison Goodman , The Dark Days Club (Lady Helen, #1)

8 " There was a saying that the strength of a man’s steel was only known under the hammer of circumstance. If anyone had asked me a few hours ago, I would have said that nearly five years of boyhood had hammered me into constant fear and excessive caution. But now I realised it had done the opposite. It had shaped me into someone who stepped forwards and reached for what she wanted. It was too late for me to tuck my hands behind my back and wait like a good woman. "

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

9 " There was a saying that a man's true character was revealed in defeat. I thought it was also revealed in victory. "

― Alison Goodman , Eon: Dragoneye Reborn (Eon, #1)

10 " He gave me a message for you.” She tightened her lips as if the words soured her mouth.
“What is it?”
“That you are in his blood.”
I looked down at the deck to hide the answering surge within my own blood.
“Those are the words of a lover, Eona. "

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

11 " I have never heard a lady say 'arse,'" the emperor said mildly.
"I haven't been a lady for long," I reminded him. A little demon–made of exhaustion and the emperors smile– pushed me into adding,"For five years I've been saying 'arse.' It's hard to stop saying 'arse' after that many years. I suppose I should stop saying 'arse,' since ladies don't say-"
"'Arse'," he finished for me.
I met his grin. "

12 " I found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life? "

14 " Even a leaf in the wind settles sometimes. "

― Alison Goodman , Eon: Dragoneye Reborn (Eon, #1)

15 " I do not want to study alchemy, Lord Carlston," she hissed. "It is heretical nonsense. Nor do I want to fight. All you have shown me is a world of danger and threat, and yet you expect to step into it without even asking me if I wish to do so.".........."I am no warrior, sir, nor do I aspire to be. I have been taught to sew and sing and dance, and my duty is to marry, not fight demons. Look at me: I am an Earl's daughter, not a man versed in swords and fisticuffs. "

― Alison Goodman , The Dark Days Club (Lady Helen, #1)

16 " Too many doubts grow in the cracks of silence and separation. "

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

When the cycle of twelve draws to an end..."

When the Darkforce is mastered with Hua of All Men. "

19 " Holy Shola. "

― Alison Goodman , Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)

20 " How could I explain that it was not all playacting? That I felt more of the male spirit within me than the female - a fierceness that whittled me down to a sharpened spear of ambition. And as a boy, I was applauded, not punished, for such raw energy. It was not beaten out of me for my own good, or worn away by women's chores. "

― Alison Goodman , Eon: Dragoneye Reborn (Eon, #1)
