1 " She’d never seen such a thing back on Grave; a flower that bloomed only at night. "
― Marianne de Pierres , Shine Light (Night Creatures, #3)
2 " In Ixion music and party are our only beliefs. Darkness is our comfort. We have few rules but they are absolute. Your endocrine systems have been altered by changes to your hypothalamus. You no longer need to sleep or see sunlight. "
― Marianne de Pierres , Burn Bright (Night Creatures, #1)
3 " Pain can be dismissed. "
4 " Ixion exists as an antidote to the rules and conventions of other places. We believe that indulging in pleasure will make better people. Self-denial and discipline and virtue are all myths invented to control you. "
5 " Rules? Ixion is supposed to be free of rules, yet it seems as strict as Grave in its own way and more...more dangerous. "
6 " Everyone comes here for pleasure. Even if they think they don't. Embracing it is harder for some and they go mad before they truly accept it. Most of the places they cme from are founded on guilt and rules. The Ripers want us to break away from that - some wish to tear it from us while others are more subtle. "
7 " Kero and Rollo stood over it, slick with blood, both holding knives.‘Kero, you came? Why?’ asked Naif.‘Maybe I just needed someone to show me how to be brave enough,’ he replied with a hint of a dangerous grin. "
8 " I burned too bright. I saw too much. "
9 " People are sometimes really different from what you first think. You have to give them a chance. "
― Marianne de Pierres , Angel Arias (Night Creatures, #2)
10 " Fear traps your mind. "
11 " Will you wait for me on the platform then?’Suki looked at Rollo and cast her eyes upward. ‘I suppose so.’Retra smiled at her. ‘Don’t you mean, “I guess so”? "
12 " Something from out in the dark brushed her throat, dampfingers smearing her with warm wetness. She started, raising a hand against it, but touched nothing.A teasing whisper in her ear – no, more a thought. Come to me …She glanced around to see if anyone else had heard, but those near her gazed eagerly ahead. Except the Riper; he watched her. "
13 " You slow. Is Dangerous." His tentacles curled down, gripping the ends of the wood. As they watched he slid off the crate and nudged it away. Underneath was a grate, filthy with slude. He plunged his tentacles into the gaps and pulled it aside. "There is drop. "
14 " Naif felt his tentacle caress her again, This time, though, he was holding something as well. It was rough hessian and the smell from it was putrid, like something dead a few days. She tried to push him away but his tentacle ws strong and persistent, not withdrawing until he'd wiped the cloth over her. "
15 " We all pretend things sometimes. And sometimes we leave thing too late. "
16 " Retra recoiled from his dangling nakedness... "
17 " Ixion’s not a place for friends. They die or they leave. On Ixion you need allies. "
18 " Can you really change anything, Joel? "
19 " What the Fross?” Whispered Kero "
20 " Your kind shouldn’t come here. The change is too great for Seals. Yet you have chosen it and rejected your society, so you must learn quickly or perish. "
