1 " Some things you hear with your ears. Others, you hear with your heart. "
― Sarah J. Maas , Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2)
2 " The best lies were always mixed with truth. "
3 " But death was her curse and her gift, and death had been her good friend these long, long years. "
4 " To escape death, she'd become death. "
5 " Everyone sounded the same when they died. "
6 " She had a flicker of memory from a time when, just for a moment, she'd been free; when the world had been wide open and she'd been about to enter it with Sam at her side. It was a freedom that she was still working for, because even though she'd tasted it only for a heartbeat, it had been the most exquisite heartbeat she'd ever experienced. "
7 " Perhaps there was an unstoppable magic inherent in music and art. "
8 " In every way that counted, I failed him. "
9 " Hide from fate all you like,” Baba Yellowlegs said as they turned away. “But it shall soon find you! "
10 " Nehemia was gone. That vibrant, fierce, loving soul; the princess who had been called the Light of Eyllwe; the woman who had been a beacon of hope—just like that, as if she were no more than a wisp of candlelight, she was gone.When it had mattered most Celaena hadn't been there.Nehemia was gone. "
11 " He wouldn't let his servants change the sheets on his bed because they still smelled like her, because he went to sleep dreaming that she was still lying beside him. "
12 " Whatever shred of hope he'd had for a future with her was gone. She still felt something for him, she'd admitted, but she would never trust him. She would always hate him for what he'd done.But he could do this for her. Even if he never saw her again, even if she abandoned her duties as King's Champion and stayed with the Fae in Wendlyn forever-as long as he knew that she was safe, that no one could hurt her... He'd sell his soul again and again for that. "
13 " The rest of the world quieted into nothing. In that moment, after ten long years, Celaena looked at Chaol and realised she was home. "
14 " Then Celaena and the King of Adarlan smiled at each other, and it was the most terrifying thing Dorian had ever seen. "
15 " It was like coming home or being born or suddenly finding an entire half of herself that had been missing. "
16 " Dance with me, Celaena," he said again, his voice rough. When her eyes met his she forgot about the cold, and the moon, and the glass palace looming above them. The secret library and the king's plans and Mort and Elena faded into nothing. She took his hand and there was only the music and Chaol. "
17 " There had never been any line between them, only his own stupid fear and pride. Because from the moment he'd pulled her out of that mine in Endovier and she had set those eyes upon him, still fierce despite a year in hell, he'd been walking toward this, walking to her. So Chaol brushed away her tears, lifter her chin, and kissed her. "
18 " But he had no idea what sort of darkness lurked inside her, or what sort of monster she was willing to become in order to make things right. "
19 " Let them tremble in fear at what they had awoken. "
20 " I can't tell if I should be ashamed of wanting to hold you on this day, or grateful that, despite what happened before now, it somehow brought me to you. "
