1 " Yes, I want romance!” she says, unashamed. “I want passion and love and connection. I want ambition and goals, too. I want struggle and experience. Failure, then success. I want it all, every last drop of it. I don’t want to live and die for nothing. "
― Sophie Lark , Snow (Underworld, #2)
2 " I think that could change. I feel a strong desire to take care of her. To protect her. She deserves to have a champion. "
3 " I’ve never felt this before, but I know exactly what it is. “I love you.” Right while I’m thinking it, I say it out loud. I let the words cross the bridge of air between us. "
4 " know she recognizes me, the same as I do her. She freezes in place, a wash of pink tinting her pale cheeks. “Where’s the doctor?” I ask her gruffly. She blushes all the more. “I’m the doctor,” she says. "
5 " I’m mesmerized by this woman. What is she doing here? She’s so out of place. I’ve never seen a girl like her walk down my street, let alone plant herself in the center of this dirty, nasty underground world. I realize I’m still resting my hand on hers. Her skin is the softest thing I’ve ever touched. I pull my hand back, leaving a smear of blood on her knuckle. "
6 " I actually want to talk to her. When usually I don’t like talking to anybody. "
7 " I try not to resent her. I know she was spoiled and coddled, raised to be pampered, not to struggle. But so was I. And I’m not melting into a puddle of goo. I’m strong, because I have to be. "
8 " I love you too, Filip. Even if I could have my old life back, I wouldn’t take it. All this was worth it, to meet you. "
9 " Sasha,” he says softly. “I’ve never seen anything half as beautiful. "
10 " Snow just shakes his head. “You’re the only girl I’ve ever brought to my apartment,” he says. "
11 " I know all this. However, being conscious of something is not the same as being able to resist it. I’m weak with longing for him. Whatever he wants from me, however he wants it, I can only say yes. "
12 " Loving someone is not for the faint of heart. It can be hard and dangerous and painful. It takes everything from you. But what you get back . . . It’s like investing a penny to own the wealth of the world. My happiness terrifies me. I don’t know how anyone can deserve it. "
13 " Some Warriors look fierce, but are mild. Some seem timid, but are vicious. Look beyond appearances; position yourself for the advantage. — Deng Ming-Dao "
14 " I’ll never give her to Stepanov, or anyone else. I was her first, and I’ll be her last. "
15 " You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war. — Napoleon Bonaparte "
16 " She doesn’t belong to me. But I want her to. "
17 " because this woman belongs to me, and me alone. I’ll never give her to Stepanov, or anyone else. "
18 " Loving someone is not for the faint of heart. It can be hard and dangerous and painful. It takes everything from you. But what you get back . . . It’s like investing a penny to own the wealth of the world. My happiness terrifies me. I don’t know how anyone can deserve it. I "
19 " I was her first, and I’ll be her last. "
20 " I’ve never been given a gift before. And I’ve never kissed a woman with all of my heart. When it comes to love, I’m as inexperienced as Sasha. I don’t want to let go of her. “Remember, tonight,” I say. "
