Roar (Stormheart, #1) QUOTES

1 " No tragedies here, Roar. This world will make you a victim every chance it gets. Don't let it. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

2 " She had hoped. And hope broke more hearts than any man ever could. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

3 " Sometimes she was Aurora. Confident. Clever. Cultured.

Sometimes she was Rora. Afraid. Alone. Ashamed.

And more and more, she was Roar -- bold, brash, and increasingly baffled by the situation in which she found herself. And sometimes she was none of them, lost and adrift somewhere in between, like the wildlands between Stormling cities. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

4 " Blind belief is a comfort; it is the frame that puts the rest of the world into context. It allows us to block out the things that don’t make sense, that which frightens us. It narrows our vision so that the world does not feel so large. Would it comfort you to have the frame of superstition? To believe that if you say the right words and sacrifice the right things, then your world will stay exactly as it is? Or do you wish to choose what you believe, what you trust and understand? "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

5 " You are lightning made flesh. Colder than falling snow. Unstoppable as the desert sands riding the wind. You are Stormling, Aurora Pavan. Believe it. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

6 " And I am here with you. If you have questions, ask them. If you have fears, shed them. If you have doubts, give them to me and I will crush them beneath my heel. If you need help, I will provide it. Even if you only need someone to yell at, I can be that too. And when the time comes that you need someone to trust, I will be that person. I promise. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

11 " If she were a storm, she could destroy him, and he would never lift a finger to protect himself. "

12 " At least she had that much. she hadn't kissed that beast. But what she had done felt worse. She had hoped. And hope broke more hearts than any man ever could. "

13 " Challenge a tempest, survive it, and you become its master. "

15 " If he did not learn to block out the instincts she roused in him, destruction could be exactly where they both were headed. "

16 " Rora played along, saying the right words, smiling the right smile, and nodding, but her mind wasn't in it. Not really. She was outside herself. Her heart grew calm and steady and quiet-- the kind of quiet that came before the Rage season. As if the whole land was bracing itself for the battle to come. All the nerves and the confusing emotions melted away, and she was nothing more than a series of actions cobbled together by instinct alone. That was what happened to an animal when it was cornered. When the danger was high and adrenaline took over. Reason disappeared then, and the only thing left was an instinct older than blood and bones. And her instinct? It told her two things. To lie. And to run. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

17 " You simply must have the stronger heart. You must have no doubts, no fear. You must want to survive more than the storm does. When ou drive your hand into the heart of a storm, it in turn drives into you. It will search out every weakness, every insecurity. If you are afraid to die, it will know. I've seen hunters with tremendous skill-- fast and strong and calm under pressure-- crumble under the intensity of facing a storm heart to heart. The battle is different for every person, for every storm, but one thing always holds true-- only one heart gets to live on. So tell me, Roar, do you think you are ready? Look into yourself and decide-- are you willing to bet your life on it? "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

18 " This world will make you a victim ever chance it gets. Don’t let it. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

19 " But those words were my greatest hope when I was young. To find answers for the unanswerable, a path through the impossible. "

― Cora Carmack , Roar (Stormheart, #1)

20 " She was a princess without the power to keep her kingdom, a girl whose future had been decided for her. That wasa the cold hard truth. But it didn't have to be. If she had learned anything last night, it was that the world wasn't as clear-cut as she had always believed. And between the bad choices and the worse choices, perhaps there was another road that she had never known existed until last night. "
