1 " Women who have suffered, no matter how afraid, hold out their hands in aid to help others. To create a loyalty like no other--as strong as an oak, as enduring as a mountain, and as brutal as Time—look no further than a female who has risen from the ashes. "
― K.F. Breene , Hunted (The Warrior Chronicles, #2)
2 " Yes, I have found that idiots are often happier in a puddle of their own stupidity. Say no more. From now on I will simply smile and nod when you say ridiculous things. "
3 " Once upon a time I would’ve found her complete lack of interest in killing one’s own troops cause for alarm. I might’ve worried she’d slit my throat in my sleep. Now that I know she probably will, I find I’m not as concerned.” “I wouldn’t slit your throat in your sleep, Sanders. I would do it when you were awake. Think of the sport it would be.” Shanti’s voice was colored with humor. Sanders snorted. "
4 " Arguing with him is like arguing with a madman—he’ll drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience. "
5 " We can get through this place because we’re a team, Shoolan. And we have the Captain. These other people, they didn’t have the Captain.” Leilius sounded so sure. The kid was the most trusting, positive person Shanti had ever known. “Cadet, if you keep talking like that,” Sanders said in a voice that could cut through a monsoon and still reach the intended ear. “People are going to think God scooped out your brains and replaced them with rainbows and horse shit. "
6 " I’ve got the backing of the most powerful mind-fucker in the land. You’ve got dead friends. See the difference? "
7 " Let’s go,” she yelled. “If we’re running to our death, I’d like to get there before supper. "
8 " She really had been without for too long. “If you don’t use what the Elders blessed you with, it might rot,” Rohnan said in their language in a sing-song tone. “And there he is. It is obvious how willing he is to keep you in good working order. "
9 " The pretty lady come to play with knives, is it?” the man taunted. “Watch out you don’t break a nail. I only date presentable girls.” Shanti stepped forward and punched him in the sternum with her right hand. She elbowed him in the face with her left before ripping his knife from his hand. With economical movements, she knocked him in the head with the hilt, punched him in the gut, ripped his big body to the side, and stepped around him with a smooth movement. The knife made a loud thunk as it found the center of the target painted on the wooden post twenty paces away. "
10 " For the first time, he realized that he had seen this look before, but he had been too wrapped up in the idea of someone dangerous having a pair of tits to notice. "
11 " If we’re running to our death, I’d like to get there before supper. "
12 " Sanders snorted. “Got that right. She’s stopped asking what I want for dinner. She just makes what she wants and allows me to eat it. "
13 " The sun continued its slow rise, shining down on their battlefield as if Death wasn’t present in every moment. "
14 " You are in a prison of your own devising. Only when you allow yourself freedom of thought can you obtain freedom of mind. The path is before you, you just have to push through your fears to traverse it. "
15 " People are going to think God scooped out your brains and replaced them with rainbows and horse shit. "
16 " That woman’s horse is crazy!” Sanders barked. He shook his head. “The thing is a menace. If it hadn’t tried to take out the enemy on its own, or had damn good blood lines running through it, I’d say let’s eat it. "
17 " I might’ve worried she’d slit my throat in my sleep. Now that I know she probably will, I find I’m not as concerned. "
18 " You are never alone for long, Rohnan. There are strange people everywhere. "
19 " Men couldn’t mope for too long, or they turned into horrible whiners. "
20 " She was the lightning, he was the thunder. Together they were a force of nature itself, so beautiful, yet full of unpardonable destruction. "
