1 " I couldn't stop now. I'd caused so much misery that stopping now would earn me all the misery plus no reward at the end. I had to keep going. "
― Clare Urbanski , Sixth in Line
2 " My advice: give it up now and be glad you failed the first time. Look at me, I’ve only killed one person and look what it’s turned me into. "
3 " You must believe me that trying to bring back the dead is not worth the trouble. In any sense. And it’s not right, either—the dead don’t like to be disturbed. It’s like trying to wake someone from a wonderful dream and bring them back to an unpleasant, imperfect reality. For most of them, at any rate, but the flip side presents another score of problems. "
― Clare Urbanski , Prince Niru
4 " She was a freak. My sister was a freak of nature. I wasn’t quite sure how to feel. Here I’d been so looking forward to meeting her, and she was making me uncomfortable. I forced as much of it as I could back. I wanted to love her, wanted to be as excited about this moment as I’d hoped I would be. "
― Clare Urbanski , Hero of the Hinterland
5 " No one plans to get caught! If planning were all it took to get caught, spying would be a much easier job! "
― Clare Urbanski , Three of Clubs (Queen of Spades, #1)
6 " The past is the past... and there will be plenty of moments in the future you'll want to savor too. "
