1 " I couldn't believe it had taken me all these years to see this side of him. He tucked himself inside a shell, shutting himself away from others here because the palace had trapped him. Behind the books and the snippy remarks there was a curious, engaging, and sometimes very charming person. "
― Kiera Cass , The Heir (The Selection, #4)
2 " Two of them have asked in the most circumspect and quiet ways possible if there was a chance that you prefer women.”I let out a sound that wasn’t quite a laugh. “Of course, because the only way I could possibly like men is if I bowed down at their feet? "
3 " When my father is stern, no one chastises him. I don’t think it’s fair that when I act similarly, I’m seen as cruel. I’m making a huge decision, and I’m trying to be wise about it. "
4 " You can be brave and still be feminine. You can lead and still love flowers. "
5 " How can the truth make anything worse? "
6 " I'm not sure anyone knows what they're looking for until they find it "
7 " When you know who matters most to you, giving things up, even yourself, doesn’t really feel like a sacrifice. "
8 " When we met, you couldn't stop staring at my breasts."His face went pale, as if he seriously thought he was so subtle no one would notice. "Make sure you get an equally satisfactory look a my backside as you leave. "
9 " I'm happy, Ahren. I'm a princess. I have everything.""I think you're mistaking comfort for joy. "
10 " This time, I felt like I was on the other side of that, looking past duty and worry and rank, seeing the true heart of a person.And his was so beautiful. "
11 " I'm Eadlyn Schreave and no one in the world is as powerful as me. "
12 " Hale dropped down and lay in front of me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. Don't worry, I've got you. "
13 " But . . . maybe I could find something. Maybe there would be one person who’d still want to kiss me when I had a runny nose or would rub my shoulders after a long day of meetings. Maybe I could find someone who didn’t seem so scary, who made letting him past the wall seem natural. But all that still could be asking for too much. "
14 " I couldn’t help butnotice it was always this way. At state events or important dinners, Mom was beside Dad or situatedright behind him. But when they were just husband and wife—not king and queen—he followed hereverywhere. "
15 " You know how your mother and I met,” Dad began.I rolled my eyes. “Everyone does. You two are practically a fairy tale. "
16 " Should I get more butter?""Shut up, Eadlyn, "
17 " I'm not sure if fate or destiny is real. But I can tell you that sometimes the very thing you've been hoping for will walk through the door, determined to fend you off. And still. somehow, you will find that you are enough. "
18 " No sé si el destino existe o no. Pero, a veces, aquello que llevas años anhelando aparece por la puerta, decidio a eludirte, a huir de ti. Y, sin embargo, al final te das cuenta de que siempre hay alguien para ti. "
19 " I'm not sure anyone knows what they're looking for until they find it. "
20 " I only have one heart, and I'm saving it. "
