    “Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Jesper knocked his head against the hull and cast his eyes heavenward. “Fine. But if Pekka Rollins kills us all, I’m going to get Wylan’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.”
    Brekker’s lips quirked. “I’ll just hire Matthias’ ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.”
    “My ghost won’t associate with your ghost,” Matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he'd begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    Leigh Bardugo
    “He'd told her they would fight their way out. Knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. She would fight for him, but she could not heal him. She would not waste her life trying.”

  • #13
    Leigh Bardugo
    “They were twin souls, soldiers destined to fight for different sides, to find each other and lose each other too quickly. She would not keep him here. Not like this.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Until this moment, Wylan hadn't quite understood how much they meant to him. His father would have sneered at these thugs and thieves, a disgraced soldier, a gambler who couldn't keep out of the red. But they were his first friends, his only friends, and Wylan knew that even if he'd had his pick of a thousand companions, these would have been the people he chose.”

    “What doesn't kill me better run. - Kaz”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

  • #19
    Leigh Bardugo
    “There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken. No one knew who he was. No one knew where he came from. He'd become Kaz Brekker, cripple and confidence man, bastard of the Barrel.
    The gloves were his one concession to weakness. Since that night among the bodies and the swim from the Reaper's Barge, he had not been able to bear the feeling of skin against skin. It was excruciating to him, revolting. It was the only piece of his past that he could not forge into something dangerous.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “Kaz reached into his coat pocket. "Here," he said and handed Jesper a slender book with an elaborate cover.

    "Are we going to read to each other?"

    "Just flip it open to the back."

    Jesper opened the book and peered at the last page, puzzled. "So?"

    "Hold it up so we don't have to look at your ugly face."

    "My face has character. Besides - oh!"

    "An excellent read, isn't it?"

    "Who knew I had a taste for literature?”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    Leigh Bardugo
    “She’d shown him in a thousand ways that she was honorable and strong and generous and very human, maybe even more vividly human than anyone he’d ever known. And if she was, then Grisha weren’t inherently evil. They were like anyone else—full of the potential to do great good, and also great harm. To ignore that would make Matthias the monster.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    Leigh Bardugo
    “He looked down at his boots. "That berth belongs to you too. It will always be there when―if you want to come back."

    Inej could not speak. Her heart felt too full, a dry creek bed ill-prepared for such rain. "I don't know what to say.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

  • #23
    Leigh Bardugo
    “No, little brother. No one is stronger. You've cheated death too many times. Greed may do your bidding, but death serves no man.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

  • #24
    Leigh Bardugo
    “It was a calculated risk.”
    “It was cross-your-fingers-and-hope-for-the-best. Believe me, I know the difference.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

  • #25
    Leigh Bardugo
    “Her silks were feathers, and she was free.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

  • #26
    Leigh Bardugo
    “It's shame that lines my pockets, shame that keeps the Barrel teeming with fools ready to put on a mask just so they can have what they want with no one the wiser for it. We can endure all kinds of pain. It's shame that eats men whole.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

  • #27
    Leigh Bardugo
    “You shouldn't make friends with crows,” he'd told her.
    “Why not?” she asked.
    He'd looked up from his desk to answer, but whatever he'd been about to say had vanished on his tongue.
    The sun was out for once, and Inej had turned her face to it. Her eyes were shut, her oil-black lashes fanned over her checks. The harbor wind had lifted her dark hair, and for a moment Kaz was a boy again, sure that there was magic in this world.
    “Why not” shed repeated, eyes still closed.
    He said the first thing that popped into his head. “They don't have any manners.”
    “Neither do you, Kaz.” She'd laughed, and if he could have a bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

  • #28
    Leigh Bardugo
    “Go home and tell them what you've seen, Nikolai thought as the demon soared through the night. Make them believe you. Tell them the demon king rules Ravka now and vengeance is coming.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Rule of Wolves

  • #29
    Leigh Bardugo
    “But Ketterdam had taught Inej well. If you couldn't beat the odds, you changed the game.”
