1 " If nightmares can come true, and sometimes they do... then so can our happiest dreams. "
― Emma Chase , Royally Matched (Royally, #2)
2 " You would think having your arse constantly kissed would be enjoyable, even just a little. But when it’s a nest of snakes trying to latch on—offering a rim job with their flicking, forked tongues—it’s revolting. "
3 " ...this is how politics is played. With fakery and false smiles and butcher knives to the back. "
4 " The thing is, when you`re dependent on others, they hold a part of your happiness in their hands. They can nurture it or crush it at any moment. Your fate doesn`t belong to you. "
5 " My story hasn’t been written yet … but I know it begins with you. "
6 " You shouldn’t be afraid of dying, Sarah—everyone does it. The only thing to be scared of is not living before you do. "
7 " Reading brings knowledge and knowledge is power; therefore reading is power. The power to know and learn and understand . . . but also the power to dream. Stories inspire us to reach high, love deep, change the world and be more than we ever thought we could. Every book allows us to dream a new dream. "
8 " I’ve never had someone who was just mine, body and soul – mine to protect and hold and love. And that’s what Sarah is…she belongs to me now. We belong to each other. "
9 " You are woven into my soul and you are wrapped around my heart. "
10 " Because sometimes, life is very much like a book – we don't get to write our own ending; we have to accept the one that's already on the page. "
11 " But quiet shouldn't be mistaken for weak. Sometimes the most steely resolve is asserted silently. "
12 " I want to be a better man for you and because I love you so much, I actually believe I can be. "
13 " Anything that came before is nothing. This is all that matters. This brave, stunning girl in my arms is all I will ever need. "
14 " I want to change the world with you at my side, holding your hand. I love you, Sarah, and whatever happens, I promise there won’t be a day that I don’t love you with all that I am. "
15 " You’ve become…important to me, Sarah. I mess up a lot; I always have. I don’t want to mess this up. "
16 " King.Christ my stomach rolls every time I think the word. When someone says it aloud I gag. If’ I’m supposed to be the Great Royal Hope for my country, we’re all well and truly fucked. "
17 " I’ve never been very good at doing what I’m told.It’s a problem.Or a reflex. If they say left, I go right. If they say sit, I jump. If they say behave, I get drunk and spend the weekend screwing all three of the Archbishop’s tripled nieces.They were nice girls. I wonder what they’re doing this Friday? "
18 " Who said anything about sleeping? I’m talking about sex. Good sex. Lots of it.”That puts a flush on her pretty cheeks and she laughs. “I don’t want to have sex with you.”I pat her hand. “Now you’re just being silly. The cat-and-mouse game can be tantalizing, but it’s not necessary.” My voice drops to a whisper. “I’m a sure thing. "
19 " I don’t want to control her; I just want to keep her. Her gentle spirit, her kind loveliness has become the center of my world and I’m not sure I know how to function anymore without it. "
20 " I was happy with myself before – with my little life. But this is different. It feels like I’m on the edge of a mountain cliff, the wind whipping my hair, the sun blinding – but there is no fear. Only exhilaration, pure and right. I’m not going to fall. I can’t.Because Henry has shown me how to fly. "
