21 " Promise me you won't forget this, Poppy. That no matter what happens tomorrow, the next day, next week, you won't forget this, forget that this was real "
― Jennifer L. Armentrout , From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash, #1)
22 " The next time you go out, wear better shoes and thicker clothing. Those slippers are likely to be the death of you, and that dress... the death of me "
23 " I'll say it again. I don't care what you are. I care about who you are "
24 " And, if you're lucky, they'll go for your throat, and it will be a quick death," the Duke was saying. "Most of you will not be so fortunate. They'll tear into your flesh and tissue, feasting on your blood while you scream for the gods you've lost faith in.""This is perhaps the least calming speech ever given after an attack," Hawke muttered under his breath. "
25 " Honeydew. "
26 " La mort est comme une vieille amie. Parfois, tu ne l'attends pas, mais parfois, si. Ce n'est ni la première fois, ni la dernière qu'elle viendra te rendre visite mais ça ne rend pas les disparitions moins difficiles ni impitoyables. "
27 " Fear and bravery are often one and the same. It either makes you a warrior or a coward. The only difference is the person it resides inside. "
28 " Death is like an old friend who pays a visit, sometimes when it’s least expected and other times when you’re waiting for her. It’s neither the first nor the last time she’ll pay a visit, but that doesn’t make any death less harsh or unforgiving. "
29 " With my sword and with my life, I vow to keep you safe, Penellaphe,” he spoke, voice deep and smooth, reminding me of rich, decadent chocolate. “From this moment until the last moment, I am yours. "
30 " Nothing is ever simple. And when it is, it's rarely every worth it. "
31 " Some truths do nothing but destroy and decay what they do not obliterate. Truths do not always set one free. Only a fool who has spent their entire life being fed lies believes that. "
32 " You’re such a bad influence,” I murmured as I placed my hand in his.Hawke curled his fingers around mine. The weight and warmth of his hand was a pleasant shock. “Only the bad can be influenced, Princess. "
33 " It doesn’t matter if I want--”“And you do want.” His whisper danced over my cheek. “What you want is me.”My breath caught. “That doesn’t matter.”“What you want should always matter. "
34 " You're such a bad influence""Only the bad can be influenced, Princess "
35 " Bravery and strength do not equal goodness. "
36 " I’m the Maiden, Hawke,” I reminded him – or myself, I wasn’t sure.“And I don’t care.”My eyes flew open in shock. “I can’t believe you just said that.”“I did. And I’ll say it again. I don’t care what you are.” Hawke’s hand slid off my back. A moment later, I felt his palm flatten against my cheek with unerring accuracy. “I care about who you are. "
37 " You deserve so much more than what awaits you. "
38 " You’re important to me, Poppy. Not because you’re the Maiden, but because you’re… you. "
39 " Some things, once spoken, were given a life of their own. "
40 " I came back for you that night. Just like I told you I would. I came back for you, and you weren't there. You promised me, princess. "
