41 " Feyre!" someone roared. No, not someone - Rhysand. "
― Sarah J. Maas , A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)
42 " I was loosened, a top whirling around and around, and I didn't know who I danced with or what they looked like, only that I had become the music and the fire and the night, and there was nothing that could slow me down. "
43 " We moved together, unending and wild and burning, and when I went over the edge the next time, he roared and went with me. "
44 " My priority would be to protect my family -- and I would have picked whatever side could keep them safest. I hadn't thought of it as a weakness until now. "
45 " I heard you scream,” he said as he examined the blade in my hands. I’d never held one so finely crafted, so perfectly balanced. “And I hesitated. Not long, but I hesitated before I came running. Even though Tam got there in time, I still broke my word in those seconds I waited.” He jerked his chin at the knife. “It’s yours. Don’t bury it in my back, please. "
46 " Regardless of his motives or his methods, Rhysand was keeping me alive. And had done so even before I set foot Under the Mountain. "
47 " It took me a long while to realize that Rhysand, whether he knew it or not, had effectively kept me from shattering completely. "
48 " I came to claim the one I love. "
49 " Everything I love has always had a tendency to be taken away from me "
50 " Before you start yelling . . . , "
51 " A life for a life--but what if the life offered as payment meant losing three others? "
52 " It’s a rare day indeed when someone thanks you for bringing them to their death. "
53 " ...We're too powerful, and too bored with immortality, to be checked by anything else. "
54 " Thus I became Rhysand's plaything, the harlot of Amarantha's whore. "
55 " More—I wanted the hardness of his body crushing against mine; I wanted his mouth and teeth and tongue on my bare skin, on my breasts, between my legs. Everywhere—I wanted him everywhere. I was drowning in that need. "
56 " Rhys casually released me with a flick of his tongue over my bottom lip as a crowd of High Fae appeared behind Amarantha and chimed in with her laughter. Rhysand gave them a lazy, self-indulgent grin and bowed. But something sparked in the queen's eyes as she looked at Rhysand. Amarantha's whore, they'd called him. "
57 " We had contests to see who could write the dirtiest limericks while I was living with my father’s war-band by the border. I don’t particularly enjoy losing, so I took it upon myself to become good at them. "
58 " The music folded over itself like batter being poured from a bowl, one note atop another... "
59 " Do you lie awake at night to come up with all your witty replies for the following day? "
60 " If it's any consolation," Rhysand confided to him, "she would have been the one for you - and you might have gotten away with it. A bit late, though. She's more stubborn than you are. "
