181 " She’d thought she was born to lead. But through time, and trial, and failure, doubt had crept in. "
― Leigh Bardugo , Rule of Wolves (King of Scars, #2)
182 " But we’ve never had a proper fight. Because we never trusted the love we had to carry us through. We have always been very polite with one another. "
183 " I have a surplus of bad ideas,” said Nikolai. “I have to spend them somewhere. "
184 " Mati en sheva yelu.This action will have no echo. "
185 " David,” said Genya. “You almost killed the king. "
186 " Because you are strong enough to survive the fall "
187 " Because I find I don’t want to fight for a future if I can’t find a way to make a future with you. "
188 " If you would try, if you would be willing to fail, you would learn. It’s good to do things you’re not good at. "
189 " I am a woman alone in a powerful man’s house. I have no true allies. I will do what I must to survive.”Joran looked almost startled. “You did not want to be his whore?”The word made Nina bristle. “Is that so hard to believe?”“Commander Brum … he would never. He would not force—”“He has no need to resort to force. He prefers a different kind of submission. "
190 " Right as rain. "
191 " Zoya, do you know why the Darkling lost the civil war? How Alina stopped him?”Zoya pinched the bridge of her nose. “No. I wish I did.”“Because he always fought alone. He let his power isolate him. Alina had us. You have us. You push us away, keep us all at arm’s distance so that you won’t mourn us. But you’ll mourn us anyway. That’s the way love works.”Zoya turned away. “I don’t know how to do this anymore. I don’t know how to just go on.”“I don’t know either. There are days when I don’t want to. But I can’t live a life without love. "
192 " Not to mention, we're all extremely recognizable," Wylan said.Kaz lifted a shoulder. "One of the unfortunate side effects of success. "
193 " What could Zoya say to her? To any of them How could she give them hope she didn’t have? "
194 " Nikolai wasn't sure where the shout came from. He turned his head and saw a figure in black, kneeling in the field. "Sankta Zoya !" the figure shouted again. he lifted his head, and Nikolai met the Darkling 's gray gaze. The bastard winked at him. "
195 " she had spent her life standing on the outside of moments, unsure of where she belonged. "
196 " He yanked the knife from his belt and plunged it into a soft belly. This was a feeling he had been happy to forget, the knowledge that death walked with you, breathing down your neck, guiding your hand but ready to turn the blade on you in the space of a moment. "
197 " You will grow to hate me. I’m too sharp. Too angry. Too spiteful.” “You are all of those things, but you are so much more, Zoya. Our people will come to love you not despite your ferocity, but because of it. Because you showed mercy in our darkest hour. "
198 " But he wanted to know. He wanted to sit here and listen to her talk. "
199 " You will invite me to a fine dinner. We’ll both drink too much wine. You’ll get me to talk about myself, the pressures of my position, the sadness of my past. Perhaps I’ll shed a tear or two. You’ll listen sensitively and astutely and somehow discover my secret self. Something like that? "
200 " You are a king.”“Not while I wear this coat.”“Even with a pelican on your head, you’d still be the king of Ravka, and it wouldn’t kill that Barrel rat to show a bit of respect. "
