41 " Así que tengo la intención de despertar ese odio, dejar que hierva a fuego lento, convertirlo en algo que pueda usar. Todo mientas me separo, hago que me amen con la misma ferocidad con la que lo odian. "
― Raven Kennedy , Glint (The Plated Prisoner, #2)
42 " After all, I’ve been lying to myself for years. Pretty lies cover up a lot of ugly truths. "
43 " If you walk out now, I’m done. I will never forgive you. For any of it.” My voice is hard, enraged, pushed past the brink. He hesitates a moment and then says, “I love you, but I don’t need your forgiveness, Precious. I just need your power. "
44 " If done right, those whispered encouragements can become the subconscious thoughts of ignorant men. "
45 " I think you’ve had enough orders, Goldfinch, "
46 " Secrets, I’ve learned, cost far too much. "
47 " Pretty lies cover up a lot of ugly truths. "
48 " Time changes with torment. It stretches on, lengthening seconds, extending minutes. I’ve learned that pain and fear have a way of prolonging. And as if that weren’t cruel enough, our minds make sure we relive those moments again and again and again, long after they’ve passed. "
49 " Your anger is misplaced, but I like it,” he says with a feral grin, sharp canines gleaming. “Every time you let it leak out just a little bit more, I can see you better, Goldfinch. "
50 " You may not be behind bars anymore, but you’re still in that cage. And I think part of you wants to stay in there because you’re afraid. "
51 " You’d like that, wouldn’t you? To ruin me?” He looks at me with something close to pity. “Not ruin. You forget, I know what you are. You’re so much more than what you let yourself be. "
52 " I watch him go, one foot poised to walk after him, the other foot firmly on the ground. My mouth is dry, but my eyes are wet. I want to say everything, yet I say nothing. "
53 " The goldfinch likes her cage. What a shame. "
54 " King Ravinger. "
55 " My king loves me. Indeed. Loves you so much he keeps you in a cage. "
56 " Curiosity tumbles through me like a windswept plant with no roots. I wonder how Commander Rip got here, what his purpose is. Is he simply King Ravinger’s hired guard dog, put out on a leash to snap and snarl at enemies? Or does he have another agenda? "
57 " And they say women are the weaker sex. Men are only as strong as those sensitive dangly bits between their legs. "
58 " Funny how the silhouette of a monster seems to calm my racing heart. "
59 " They think I’ll buckle, but they’ll soon realize I’m not that kind of saddle. "
60 " Some would say that they don’t deserve your kindness,” Keg points out. I shake my head, watching the ground as we go. “Kindness shouldn’t have to be earned. It should be freely given. "
