Quotes by Richelle Mead

Even now, despite Angelines watchfulness, shed occasionally oscillate between random topics, like how shepherds pie wasnt a pie at all and why it was pointless for her to take class in typing when technology would eventually develop robot companions to do it for us.

You cant save everyone, though God knows you try.

Of course, now I had the problem of communicating what I needed. Marlen was still beating on the door, and Dimitri would be up in a couple of minutes. I glared at the human, hoping I looked terrifying. From his expression, I did. I attempted the caveman talk I had with Inna...only this time the message was a little harder. Stick, I said in Russian. I had no clue what the word for stake was. I pointed at the silver ring I wore and made a slashing motion. Stick. Where? He stared at me in utter confusion and then asked, in perfect English, Why are you talking like that? Oh for Gods sake, I exclaimed. Where is the vault? Vault? A place they keep weapons? He continued staring. Oh, he said. That. Uneasily, he cast his eyes in the direction of the pounding.

She accused me of wearing pants from the salvation army.Rose, your pants ARE from the salvation army.Thats SO not the point!

If not for me being stoned and clinging to a taco, it would have been terribly romantic.

Am I still married to a cat? (Adrian)

Ive heard that the soul often recognizes truth when it hears it, even if the mind does not.

I shot up,now as angry and frusterated as him.I had a feeling if i stayed, wed both snap. In and undertone, I murmured,this isnt over.i wont give up on you. Ive given up on you,he said back,voice also soft. Love fades. Mine has.

How come when mortals want things, their only option is to make a deal with Hell and sell their soul? Why can’t they make deals with God in exchange for good behavior?It was another of those rare moments when I’d surprised Carter. I waited for the glib answer I’d mentioned to Seth, something along the lines of goodness being its own reward. The angel considered for several seconds. Humans make those deals all the time, he said finally. They just don’t make them with God.Then who are they making them with? I exclaimed.Themselves.

God might work on mysterious ways, but hell worked on efficient ones.

Seths quote from his book:And if I only couldId make a deal with God and Id get Him to swap our places-Running up that Hill by Kate Bush

Adrian tipped my face up toward his and kissed me. Like always, the world around me stopped moving. No, the world became Adrian, only Adrian. Kissing him was as mind-blowing as ever, full of that same passion and need I had never believed I’d feel. But today, there was even more to it. I no longer had any doubt about whether this was wrong or right. It was a culmination of a long journey . . . or maybe the beginning of one.I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. I didn’t care that we were out in public. I didn’t care that he was Moroi. All that mattered was that he was Adrian, my Adrian. My match. My partner in crime, in the long battle I’d just signed on for to right the wrongs in the Alchemist and Moroi worlds. Maybe Marcus was right that I’d also signed myself up for disaster, but I didn’t care. In that moment, it seemed that as long as Adrian and I were together, there was no challenge too great for us.I don’t know how long we stood there kissing. Like I said, the world around me was gone. Time had stopped. I was awash in the feel of Adrian’s body against mine, in his scent, and in the taste of his lips. That was all that mattered right now.

If I let myself love you, I wont throw myself in front of her. Ill throw myself in front of you.

Well, that depends, I suppose. I heard someone once say that men dance the same way they have sex. So, if you want everyone here to think youre the kind of guy who just sits around and— He stood up. Lets dance.

I get in that kind of situation all the time, Comrade. Its not a big deal. Anger replaced my fear. I didnt like being treated like a child. Stop calling me that. You dont even know what youre talking about. Sure I do. I had to do a report on the R.S.S.R. last year.

But I couldnt help myself, couldnt help the way I felt as I recalled the bliss and rush of a vampires bite.

Vampires. Honestly, theyre like children sometimes.
