Lucinda Riley QUOTES

1 " I felt the protective dam I'd built around my heart began to crumble. I turned my eyes back to him and felt the love finally start to trickle out through the fissures. And hoped that one day it would become a torrent. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Shadow Sister (The Seven Sisters #3)

2 " I believe that our lives, just like fairy tales - the stories that have been written by us humans, through our own experiences of living - will always have a Hero and a Heroine, a Fairy Godmother and a Wicked Witch. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Girl on the Cliff

3 " E ricorda: è importante che sia l'uomo il più innamorato dei due."
"Perché, mamma?"
"Perchè, mia cara, il cuore di una donna è mutevole ed è capace di innamorarsi anche più di una volta. Gli uomini, invece, nonostante tendano a esternare meno i propri sentimenti, quando amano, lo fanno per sempre. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Seven Sisters (The Seven Sisters, #1)

4 " Mi mancherai moltissimo, ma chi ha le ali non è fatto per stare chiuso in gabbia, Se lo ami devi lasciarlo libero di voltare. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Seven Sisters (The Seven Sisters, #1)

5 " The gardens surrounding the palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha were spectacularly beautiful, full of vibrant colors, the smell of jasmine pervading everything.
Harry stopped in front of an exquisite flowering plant with delicate blooms of soft pink and white. "Orchids," he murmured. "They grew in the foliage around Changi, and I've seen them everywhere since I arrived in Bangkok. They are rare in England."
"They are like weeds here," said Lidia.
"Golly! I wish we had weeds at home like this," Harry said, thinking he must take some back to his mother. "

6 " Beaumont's intention was to promote the virtue and nutritional value of fruit-bearing trees. Fifteen different genera of fruit and a number of their different species are described in the work: almonds, apricots, a barberry, cherries, quinces, figs, strawberries, gooseberries, apples, a mulberry, pears, peaches, plums, grapes, and raspberries. Each colored plate illustrates the plant's seed, foliage, blossom, fruit, and sometimes cross sections of the species. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Lavender Garden

7 " Kunst sollte für alle sichtbar sein', hatte er mir erklärt. 'Denn sie ist ein Seelengeschenk des Malers. Was vor den Blicken anderer verborgen werden muss, ist wertlos. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Seven Sisters (The Seven Sisters, #1)

8 " The day on which she turned eleven, Grandfather Bill had presented her with her very own orchid.
"This is especially for you, Julia. Its name is 'Aerides odoratum,' which means 'children of the air.'"
Julia studied the delicate ivory and pink petals of the flower sitting in its pot. They felt velvety beneath her touch.
"Where does this one come from, Grandfather Bill?" she had asked.
"From the Orient, in the jungles of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand."
"Oh. What kind of music do you think it likes?"
"It seems particularly partial to a touch of Mozart," chuckled her grandfather. "Or if it looks like it's wilting, perhaps you could try some Chopin! "

9 " She watched as her sister appeared at the kitchen door and, as always, was struck by her beauty; while she was blonde and fair-skinned, Julia was dark and exotic. Her thick mane of mahogany hair framed her fine-featured face, the weight she had recently lost only serving to highlight her luminous, almond-shaped, amber eyes and high cheekbones. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Orchid House

10 " I truly believe that if they turned all the pianos in the world to firewood, he would throw himself on top of the bonfire.
We have laughed together about how I am famous, not him. But we both know that I look much prettier in a dress than he does, that I play much more photogenically.... I am a "girl," and therefore more marketable.
But I know that he is the genius, that he can take the Chopin Etudes and add a touch of magic, a spark, that makes them definitively his own. I also knew that one day the world will recognize this. And I will be happy to take second place.
I'm sure my playing has gone from strength to strength because of him.
And I adore him.
He is my piano. He is my bonfire. And if he were no longer there, I would throw myself on top of that fire willingly. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Orchid House

11 " The night was as perfect as she could possibly have hoped. Only on nights like this did Wharton Park rival the beauty of her childhood home in Provence. The softness of an English country evening, when land and sky seemed to melt into each other, the smell of freshly mown grass, mingling with the scent of roses, had its own special magic. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Orchid House

12 " Ne znam u što ti vjeruješ, ali nijedan muškarac ni žena zacijelo ne mogu poreći da postoji nešto iznad nas, zar ne? "

― Lucinda Riley , The Pearl Sister (The Seven Sisters #4)

13 " Ik bedoel, ik dacht dat ik wilde schrijven, maar dat is makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan en ik weet niet of ik er wel zo goed in ben.
'Misschien is de tijd er nog niet rijp voor en komt dat later pas, zoals bij zo veel schrijvers. Voor mij gold dat in ieder geval wel.’
‘Eigenlijk hou ik heel erg van eenvoudige dingen, het huishouden, koken, tuinieren...’ Abrupt draaide ik me naar haar toe. ‘Ik ben niet zo ambitieus. Is dat erg? "

― Lucinda Riley

14 " Every human being has a fascinating existence, with a big cast of good and evil characters in each. And almost always, somewhere along the way, magic. "

― Lucinda Riley

15 " When I loose my faith in Human nature, I put my faith in Nature- "
