1 " A heart, once stolen, can never be taken back. "
― Marissa Meyer , Heartless
2 " Over everything, I choose you "
3 " One to be a murderer. One to be a Martyr. One to be a Monarch. One to go Mad "
4 " Are you here for a reason, Cheshire?Why, yes, I would enjoy a cup of tea. I take mine with lots of cream, and no tea. Thank you. "
5 " Now mine eyes see the heart that once we did search for, and I fear this heart shall be mended, nevermore. "
6 " It is a dangerous thing to unbelieve something only because it frightens you. "
7 " Some say it is better to have eaten and lost than never to have eaten at all. "
8 " As it so happens, Mr. Jest, I’ve sometimes come to believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast… "
9 " Why is a raven like a writing-desk? "
10 " I pictured to myself the Queen of Hearts as a sort of embodiment of ungovernable passion— a blind and aimless Fury. —LEWIS CARROLL "
11 " But hoping," he said, "is how the impossible can be possible after all. "
12 " The easiest way to steal something, is for it to be given willingly. "
13 " Sometimes your heart is the only thing worth listening to. "
14 " These things do not happen in dreams, dear girl,' he said, vanishing up to his neck. 'They happen only in nightmares.'His head spiralled and he was gone. "
15 " To be all right implies an impossible phase. We hope for mostly right on the best of our days. "
16 " Impossible is my specialty. "
17 " Mind my words, Cheshire, I will have you banished from this kingdom if you tempt me.""An empty threat from an empty girl."She rounded on him, teeth flashing. "I am not empty. I am full to the brim with murder and revenge. I am overflowing and I do not think you wish for me to overflow on to you.""There was a time" – Cheshire yawned – "when you overflowed with whimsy and icing sugar. I liked that Catherine better. "
18 " Why is a raven like a writing desk? They are both so full of poetry, you see. Darkness and whimsy, nightmares and song. "
19 " Besides, if you ever did eat some bad food, I could still find a use for you. I've always wanted a cat-drawn carriage."Cheshire opened one eye, his pupil slitted and unamused. "I would dangle balls of yarn and fish bones out in front to keep you moving."He stopped purring long enough to say, "You are not as cute as you think you are, Lady Pinkerton. "
20 " Is that . . . has it all been for that? The tea party, the letters, what you said at the festival . . . all of it, no more than an attempt to steal my heart so you could take it back to your queen?’‘The easiest way to steal something,’ Jest murmured, ‘is for it to be given willingly. "
