22 " Even the Doughskins had to admit it: in this world, only stone could claim to last. "
23 " Hentzau saw the Jade Goyl just as clearly as the Fairy had in her dreams. The pale green stone ran through his human skin like a promise. "
24 " Which skin shall I give you, Clara Ferber? Do you want fur? Do you want stone? "
25 " The Dark Fairy touched her chest. No heart, like her sisters. So where did the love come from? "
26 " The unicorns lifted their heads. Of course they weren't white. Why were things in this world always white-washed? Their hides were brown and grey, mottled black, and pale yellow like the autumn sun drifting through the damp fog above. "
27 " Humans so liked to choose the wrong men as their leaders. "
28 " Too late had she realized what he was sowing in her. Love. Worst of all poisons. "
29 " A mirror hung between the shelves.Clara stepped in front of it and let her fingers run over the silver roses that covered the frame. She had never seen anything so beautiful. The glass they surrounded was dark, as if the night had spilled onto it. It was misted up, and right where she saw the reflection of her face was the imprint of a hand. "

31 " Have you forgotten?" she replied. "In our world, the Witches work in hospitals. "
32 " A wedding, a daughter in payment, and a white dress to hide all the bloody battlefields. "
33 " DER SPIEGEL ÖFFNET SICH NUR FÜR DEN, DER SICH SELBST NICHT SIEHT.Was sollte das bedeuten? "
34 " Ich suche seit Jahren nach diesem Schloss! Dornröschens Bett. Die Kaiserin würde ein Vermögen dafür zahlen.'Clara blickte ungläublig über den stillen Hof.'Angeblich findet jeder, den in dem Bett schläft, wahre Liebe. Aber wie es scheint,' Jacob musterte die dunklen Fenster, 'ist der Prinz nie gekommen.'Oder er war wie ein ausgespieβter Vogel in den Dornen verendet. "
35 " Hat meine Schwester dir gesagt, dass jeder Mensch, der meinen Namen ausspricht, des Todes ist? "
36 " Gefährlich ... seit wann interessiert dich das? "
