1 " I am neither man nor beast, sir. You’ll find women are far more difficult to frighten. "
― Emma Hamm , Heart of the Fae (The Otherworld, #1)
2 " I think controlling the future with an iron grasp only limits the possibilities of tolerance and positive change. "
3 " This was the only power a human had over a Fae. She had his name, and now she could command him to do whatever she pleased. "
4 " You think very little of me, don't you?""On the contrary. I think very highly of you and become disappointed when you do not live up to my standards. "
5 " Everything is dangerous, and one must decide whether to live in fear, or courage "
6 " Family is who you choose, not who is in your blood. "
7 " Children such the lives out of their mothers. They drain them until they are little more than husks. But they are good for the soul. "
8 " Who am I to judge others for the choices they make? If a soul is born to be wild, it will only grow angry with a leash wrapped around its neck. If a soul prefers order, then it will shrivel with too many choices. Neither is wrong.”“You do not see darkness as evil?”“Nothing is evil. The very idea was created by those who won wars and whished to paint their poor choices as the right thing. No one goes into war or battle thinking they are evil. "
9 " Right and wrong suggests that there is only black and white. I refute that belief and instead replace it with my own. "
10 " Something, or someone, uncurled deep within her soul. A woman she barely recognized, who knew how to take what she wanted and asked for the world. "
11 " I would dare much, sir, against a man who seemingly does not understand boundaries. You must ask a woman if you may enter her abode and, when granted approval, you may do so. If they request you leave, then you remove yourself. And as far as lording over all who linger on this isle, I must inquire upon who named you king. They must be sorely lacking in wits! "
12 " I am not a woman, but sword and shield. I will carve my own path, or I will force others to create it for me. "
13 " Heat flashed in his gaze, a blush spreading across his cheeks. “Perhaps you have never danced with a man.”“Boys, yes. A man?” Sorcha’s eyes followed the ragged edge of crystals, the barbaric braid swaying from the peak of his head to his waist, the linen tunic belted by sheep skin. “Never a man such as you. "
14 " It‘s not a shameful thing to want to save your family. "
15 " We all must grow before we take on responsibility. "
16 " I’m afraid to know what I want.” “Everyone is. "
17 " She drew herself up, squared her shoulders and gripped her plaid. “I am not weak because of my femininity. I do not look down upon you for not knowing how to birth a child or the right way to guide a woman through her first menses. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you feel the need to look down upon me. "
18 " Most things are myths, but there's a shred of truth in every story. "
19 " It will. A spot of tea fixes a great many things, "
20 " Some of the ichor within the strawberry overflowed her lips, dripping syrup down her chin. Sorcha didn’t see him move, but she felt the touch of his hand as though he branded her. His calloused thumb traced the line of liquid from chin to mouth. It rasped over her sensitive lip, catching every last drop of sticky juice. "
