61 " Fear no evil," she whispered - just for me. "
― Sarah J. Maas , A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)
62 " It told a story...the story of Prythian. It began with a cauldron. A mighty black cauldron held by glowing, slender female hands in a starry, endless night. Those hands tipped it over, and, from it, golden sparkling liquid poured out over the lip. No -- not sparkling, but...effervescent with small symbols, perhaps some ancient faerie language. "
63 " We need hope as much as we need bread and meat,” he interrupted, his eyes clear for a rare moment. “We need hope, or else we cannot endure. "
64 " You dare glamour me?" he growled, his violet eyes burning as they bore into my own. Lucien just pressed me harder into the wall. "
65 " I'd forgotten that human minds are easy to shatter as eggshells," Rhysand said, and ran a finger across the base of my throat. I shuddered, my eyes burning. "Look at how delightful she is - look how she's trying not to cry out in terror. It would be quick, I promise. "
66 " Lucien studied the wine in his goblet. "You don’t hold on to power by being everyone’s friend. And among the faeries, lesser and High Fae alike, a firm hand is needed. We’re too powerful, and too bored with immortality, to be checked by anything else. "
67 " If it grieves you," he said, the words caressing my bones, "then I don't think it's absurd at all. "
68 " But I lived in that moment - my life became beautiful again for those few seconds when our hands grazed. "
69 " Alis’s lips thinned, but she said, “The next time that fool Lucien gives you advice on how to trap the Suriel, you come to me. Dead chickens, my sagging ass. All you needed to do was offer it a new robe, and it would have groveled at your feet. "
70 " His short black hair gleamed like a raven's feathers, off-setting his pale skin and blue eyes so deep they were violet, even in the firelight. "
71 " Better to die with my chin held high than groveling like a cowering worm. "
72 " Dance, Feyre," he whispered. "
73 " She had looked at it that cottage with hope; I had looked at it with nothing but hatred. And I knew which one of us had been stronger. "
74 " When he finished, I tipped back my head and howled, my laughter like sunshine shattering age-hardened ice. "
75 " Against slavery, against tyranny, I would gladly go to my death, no matter whose freedom I was defending. "
76 " For someone with a heart of stone, yours is certainly soft these days. "
77 " You drove me mad, "
78 " I love you.Thorns and All. "
79 " Rhysand’s face became a mask of calm fury as he stared and stared at me. “I remember you,” he purred. “It seems like you ignored my warning to stay out of trouble. "
80 " If he wanted to break her curse, he need only find a human girl willing to marry him. But not any girl—a human with ice in her heart, with hatred for our kind. A human girl willing to kill a faerie. "
