1 " But you have to have a working heart for it to break. "
― Stephanie Garber , Once Upon a Broken Heart (Once Upon a Broken Heart, #1)
2 " All stories are made of both truths and lies, [...] What matters is the way that we believe in them. "
3 " You make an excellent murder suspect. Orphan, turned savior, turned bride, turned killer—I’m actually surprised that wasn’t Kristof’s headline today. "
4 " Always promise less than you can give, for Fates always take more.Do not make bargains with more than one Fate.And, above all, never fall in love with a Fate. "
5 " Don't worry, I'm still not going to kiss you." His lips brushed over the delicate underside of her wrist. Once. Twice. Three times. It was barely a touch, and yet there was something incredibly intimate about it. It made her think of the other stories that said his kisses might have been fatal, but they were worth dying for. "
6 " The fates weren't dangerous because they were evil; the fates were dangerous because they couldn't tell the difference between evil and good. "
7 " [...] After I got mauled by the wolf, my scars weren't sexy scars-" "He just said sexy scars," Jacks drawled. "Are you really listening to this? "
8 " She wasn't making love choices, she was making compromising choices because she wanted love. Luc wasn't her weakness- love was. Not even just love but the idea of it. "
9 " I believe there are far more possibilities than happily ever after or tragedy. Every story has the potential for infinite endings. "
10 " If you think I'm jealous because someone else got to stab you, then you're right. "
11 " You don't want to be the hero, you want the happy ending- that's why you came to me. If you do this, that will never happen. Heroes don't get happy endings. They give them to other people. Is that what you really want? "
12 " He held on to her as if she were a grudge, his body rigid ad tense, as if he really didn't want her there, and yet his arms were tight around her waist as though he had no intention of ever letting her go. "
13 " She didn't make being alone seem lonely as Evangeline had always feared. She made it seem like an adventure, as if every moment were the start of a story with endless possibilities. "
14 " Then her parents would both be sure to tell Evangeline that not all loves happened at first; some took time to grow like seeds, or they might be like bulbs, dormant until the right season approached. But Evangeline had always wanted love at first- she wanted love like her parents, love like a story. "
15 " I'm curious about a lot of things. I'm curious about you, but I don't want you to bite me!"The corner of Jacks's mouth twitched. "I've already done that, Little Fox. "
16 " So you're saying you'd settle for a boring romance if it ends well?""Yes. I would gladly take an uneventful happily ever after. "
17 " It’s you,” she whispered. “You’re the Prince of Hearts. "
18 " He brought his hand up to her mouth and marked the seam of her lips with the blood. Metallic and sweet. Incredibly sweet. She wanted to hate the taste, but it was more like a feeling than a flavor. It was the last perfect moment before a dream ends, drops of sunshine falling like rain, lost wishes that had been found. "
19 " If Evangeline had a dagger, she imagined she could have sliced into that night as if it were a cake and stolen a piece of it to take a bite of all the wondrous dark. "
20 " This door did not want to be found.Yet it couldn’t hide what it truly was from Evangeline.The jagged shape of it was unmistakable. One side was a sloping curve, the other a serrated slash, forming one half of a broken heart—a symbol of the Fated Prince of Hearts. "
