1 " Leaving what is safe so you can be more, Derek said. The cage is what the bird knows; the sky is all the things he still wants to do even if it's a risk. "
― Ilona Andrews , Magic Rises (Kate Daniels, #6 & #5.8)
2 " Anger - a better alternative to caffeine. "
3 " No matter what happens, you will always be Pack. Because you have that loyalty and restraint. Not human, not whatever, but Kate. Unique and different, but not separate. "
4 " Were you watching me sleep? Because I thought we agreed that's creepy. "
5 " Outside the windows the day was bright: golden sunshine, blue sky, pleasant wind . . . I wanted to punch the happy day in the face, grab it by the hair, and beat it until it told me what the hell it was so happy about. "
6 " I tried to picture a female version of Jim and got Jim in a dress instead. The image was disturbing. "
7 " I’d signed six things and my stack wasn’t getting any smaller. It was like the paperwork was breeding while I worked. "
8 " « He squeezed his hands into fists. I picked up a grapefruit-sized rock and handed it to him. It went flying. Home run, Beast Lord style. "
9 " Go to the Black Sea, meet new people, see beautiful places, get killed by a mutant carnivorous kangaroo goat. One item off my bucket list. "
10 " In the whole world, there was no better place than being wrapped in him. "
11 " Is there a cookie at the end of this lecture? ... I got a cookie after all ... Dear god, the cookie was poisoned. "
12 " Did you read the instructions?” He shook his head. “Why, were you afraid they’d take your man card away?” “Are you going to help me or just make fun of me?” “Can’t I do both? "
13 " So. You refuse my money, you serve me thirty-year-old Highland Park scotch, and we've been in the same room for approximately five minutes, yet none of my bones are broken. This leads me to believe that your back is against the wall and you desperately need me for something. I'm dying to know what that is. "
14 " I was the badass Consort and he was the grim Pack’s executioner. Hugging him in the hallways would be entirely inappropriate. "
15 " I should’ve been furious, but for some reason I wasn’t. Maybe because I knew he was telling the truth. Maybe because Voron left me just like that, without the much-needed explanations. Maybe because things I had learned about him since his death had made me doubt everything he’d ever said to me. Whatever the case, I felt only a hollow, crushing sadness. How touching. I understood my adoptive father’s killer. Maybe after this was over, Hugh’s head and I could sing “Kumbaya” together by the fire. "
16 " I’d managed to find a hobbit in the Caucasus Mountains. I wondered what he would do if I asked him about second breakfast. "
17 " You’re sending some confusing signals.” Curran growled deep in his throat. “That’s impressive but not really informative, Your Furriness. "
18 " Curran never did anything without a reason he was so controlled, even his one-night stands were premeditated. "
19 " He said that the man must be your husband, because only someone we love very much can make us this crazy. "
20 " What are you going to wear?” “My badass face.” “Good choice,” he said. "
