1 " Life isn't static, and sometimes, we don't realize the value of knowledge or even of people, until further down the track, when we're mature enough to truly understand. "
― Nalini Singh , Archangel's Heart (Guild Hunter, #9)
2 " I accepted being a damn damsel in distress for you. You can be the hunky archangel in distress for once. "
3 " Elena dared link her fingers to his for a second, felt her heart squeeze when he curled his own around hers. “We lucked out with the people who love us, didn’t we, Aodhan?” His answer was a smile that lit up even the secret-shadowed hallways of Lumia. "
4 " Shooting her as close as Aodhan ever came to a glare, he said, “Illium is a bad influence on you.” “Way I hear it, he’s been a bad influence on you since you were tiny tots. "
5 " I’m a fucking hunter, and I’m the fucking consort to the Archangel of New York. "
6 " And second, I will always call you Elena-mine. "
7 " Because you are his heart, Elena. A man with his heart torn out is a broken creature. I know. "
8 " No one will take my Elena from me. I'll destroy the world before I allow that to happen "
9 " -Teasing an archangel can be a dangerous game.-Not for me.- Elena said smugly, leaning her head against his shoulder.- Not when that archangel is the ridiculously beautiful Archangel of New York.-Ridiculously beautiful?- Those eyes, that hair, those bones- she shook her head- I mean, it's not fair to every other man on the planet.-And why are you thinking about other men? "
10 " But the one thing she no longer had any question about was that they were an impregnable unit. The world might attempt to tear them apart, but the only way it would ever succeed would be through death. "
11 " In our terms, you are a baby and I am robbing the cradle. "
12 " Secrets have a way of rotting foundations when those foundations are meant to be built on truth and honor. "
13 " When he is not broken, Raphael said, he is a shooting star caught midfall. "
14 " First you throw bread at my head and bow you expect me to be a movie critic- Raphael said to Elena "
15 " Never lose your heart, Elena. No matter if the world tells you it makes you weak. Immortals have so much power. It is good to have a weakness. "
16 " Don’t get dead, Raphael, or I swear I’ll hunt you down in the afterlife. "
17 " Words weren't always easy when things mattered. "
18 " -Remember when I was terrified of you?-You were never terrified of me- Ha! Are you kidding? I was scared out of my skin, but I still thought you were hot. I'm obviously a little deranged.Raphael didn't laugh.- I'm glad you got over the terror- he said quietly- The idea of eternity without you is my personal vision of hell.-Raphael- Elena touched her fingers to his jaw- This is my heaven. You are my heaven. "
19 " We all know Her Creepiness isn’t dead.” Elena’s "
20 " When I create works of art, I do it because it is part of me and I must create. But afterward, when the work is done, I hope that it’ll speak to people, that it’ll open up their hearts or their minds. That cannot happen if the art is buried for safekeeping. "
