| 4e1f03f | Gli eroi mi davano la nausea. Una volta, avevo voluto essere uno di loro. Avevo covato sogni gloriosi di diventare un eroe dello stesso stampo di cui credevo Joscelin fosse fatto.

| 8371c9d | Jehanne said that it would always be like this. That I would always be young and beautiful in her memory, and she in mine.

| 932b1eb | C'e forse da stupirsi che io sia diventata quella che sono? Delaunay sostiene che fosse da sempre il mio destino... Forse ha ragione ma c'e una cosa che so con certezza: quando l'Amore mi ha scacciata, e stata la Crudelta ad avere pieta di me. | crudeltà destino | Jacqueline Carey | |

| 8a26d5e | The fact that he might have other things to do with his time than spend it shepherding his master's head-strong, thousand-ducat-a-night through one of the most unsavory quarters of the City never crossed my mind. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| e58b000 | Never before had I used my service to escape any woes that troubled me, but I did that day. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 1fd7bf2 | So you were good enough for the Cullach Gorrym, good enough to marry Dorelei mab Breidaia, good enough to beget Alba a successor, but not good enough for the Queen's daughter?" Urist's lips curled with scorn. The tip of his knife flicked upward. "Well, that's what I think of that, lad." The red yarn parted and fell." | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 976c327 | What you are witnessing is the face of war a great ruler seldom sees, my lady," Master Lo Feng said to her. Her veiled face turned his way, listening. "No matter how righteous the cause, no matter who wins, the commonfolk suffer. Without plenty, the wealthy lack compassion for the poor, hoarding without sharing. Without law, the strong bully the weak, stealing by force. People will go hungry. Some will starve. Men and women will be forced t.. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 6085aac | Yet even as the wind stirs your petals, flowers fall. My flowers are eternal, my songs live forever. I lift them in offering; I, a singer. I cast them to the wind, I spill them. The flowers become gold, they come to dwell inside the palace of eternity. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 9cd013d | E mais duro ver outro sofrer do que suportarmos nos o sofrimento. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| d2bcff7 | It is my fate, it seems, to fall privy to rare and splendid vistas in a state of exhaustion too profound to care. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 9c42e98 | But Quintilius Rousse's sailors grinned in the saddle, saluting, and rode out in a thunder, horses trampling their own long shadows as they set their heads to the east. | Jacqueline Carey | ||

"I have to admit, pretty much everything I know about Jamaica comes from watching , and I'm guessing a Disney movie about Olympic bobsledders isn't the most accurate reference material." | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 15430c1 | Hey, sister buzz-kill," she said languorously to Jen. "What crawled up your ass and died?" "I don't know," Jen retorted. "What died and crawled up ass?" There were times I regretted being an only child. This wasn't one of them." | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| aa89c0f | Your goddamn bloodsucking boyfriend's been promising to change you for eight years!" Jen said grimly. "Wake up and smell the plasma, Beth!" | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 27cc483 | Ray bent his head toward her, and they smiled at each other, a pair of blissful ghouls in love. I might have felt sorry for them if the continued existence of their relationship didn't necessitate generating incredible amounts of anguish and misery, which I was apparently next in line to provide. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| c6f581c | All I could do was stare blankly at him. "Look." He raised both hands, palms outward. "Daisy, I'm sorry. I had no idea." "You had no idea ?" "No idea she was coming." He sounded tired. My tail began lashing back and forth in agitation. "Oh, and where exactly did Emmy pop in from, Sinny dear? Did she drive up from Kalamazoo? Because I don't recall you mentioning a sister. And it sounded a lot like jolly old England, which I don't recall you.. | Jacqueline Carey | ||

| 24ea9a4 | There's glory in it," he acknowledged. "Dagda Mor! It's why I like to fight. When the battle-frenzy fills you, you feel like a god, I think." He paused, remembering. "But then you hear a friend's voice begging you to help, and you see your friend's guts falling out of a hole in his belly, and you can't stop to help, because someone is trying to kill you, so you have to keep going. You tread upon a corpse and realize it's a man who taught yo.. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 85c660f | training in the Fortress of the Winds, I'd never developed a full appreciation for the power of disguise. Oh, I understood it on an intellectual level--it was Brother Yarit's disguise that had allowed him to take Brother Jawal by surprise in the Trial of Pahrkun--but I'd never felt it. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
| 32e7feb | You were the most desirable woman I've ever seen, and I resented you for it. Foolish, but true. | Jacqueline Carey | ||
