    “What's up?" I asked.

    You tell me," he said. "You were the one about ready to start making out with Adrian."

    It was an experiment," I said. "It was part of my therapy."

    What the hell kind of therapy are you in?”
    Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss

    “The spell. Victor said you had to want me... to care about me... for it to work." When he didn't say anything, I tried to grip his shirt, but my fingers were too weak. "Did you? Did you want me?"
    His words came out thickly. "Yes, Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish... we could be together."
    "Then why did you lie to me?"
    We reached the clinic, and he managed to open the door while still holding me. As soon as he stepped inside, he began yelling for help.
    "Why did you lie?" I murmured again.
    Still holding me in his arms, he looked down at me. I could hear voices and footsteps getting closer.
    "Because we can't be together."
    "Because of the age thing, right?" I asked. "Because you're my mentor?"
    His fingertip gently wiped away a tear that had escaped down my cheek. "That's part of it," he said. "But also... well, you and I will both be Lissa's gaurdians someday. I need to protect her at all cost. If a pack of Strogoi come, I need to throw my body between them and her."
    I know that. Of course that's what you have to do." The black sparkles were dancing in front of my eyes again. I was fading out.
    "No. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you.”

    “You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.”
    Richelle Mead, Frostbite

    “Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.”
    Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

    “Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.”
    Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

    Sarah Dessen
    “No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”
    Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

    “There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”

    “There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying.”

    “So you're always honest," I said.
    "Aren't you?"
    "No," I told him. "I'm not."
    "Well, that's good to know, I guess."
    "I'm not saying I'm a liar," I told him. He raised his eyebrows. "That's not how I meant it, anyways."
    "How'd you mean it, then?"
    "I just...I don't always say what I feel."
    "Why not?"
    "Because the truth sometimes hurts," I said.
    "Yeah," he said. "So do lies, though.”
    Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

    “I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered.”

    “He stepped back and threw his arms out.
    "I'm always crazy around you Rose. Here, I'm going to write an impromptu poem for you."
    He tipped his head back and shouted to the sky:
    "Rose is in red
    But never in blue
    Sharp as a thorn
    Fights like one too.”
    Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss

    “I crossed my arms over my chest. "Are you lost, little girl? The elementary school's over on west campus."

    A pink flush spread over her cheeks. "Don't you ever touch me again. You screw with me, I'll screw you right back."

    Oh man, what an opening that was.”

    “You know what would help?" I asked, not meeting his eyes.

    "Hmm?"

    "If you turned off this crap music and put on something that came out after the Berlin Wall went down."

    Dimitri laughted. "Your worst class is history, yet somehow, you know everything about Eastern Europe."

    "Hey, gotta have material for my jokes, Comrade." Still smiling, he turned the radio dail. To a country station.

    "Hey! This isn't what I had in mind," I exclaimed. I could tell he was on the verge of laughing again.

    "Pick. It's one or the other."

    I sighed. "Go back to the 1980s stuff."

    He flipped the dail, and I crossed my arms over my chest as some vaguely European-sounding band sang about how video had killed the radio star. I wished someone would kill this radio.”
    Richelle Mead, Frostbite

    “It's not about you, okay? This time, it's about me. Not you. All my life, Lissa... all my life, it's been the same. They come first. I've lived my life for you. I've trained to be your shadow, but you know what? I want to come first. I need to take care of myself for once. I'm tired of looking out for everyone else and having to put aside what I want. Dimitri and I did that, and look what happened. He's gone. I will never hold him again. Now I owe it to him to do this. I'm sorry if it hurts you, but it's my choice!”
    Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss

    “By the way, my name's Rose Hathaway. I'm seventeen years old, training to protect and kill vampires, in love with a completely unsuitable guy, and have a best friend whose weird magic could drive her crazy.

    “That's pretty hot," he said.
    "Punching me in the eye?"
    "Well, no. Of course not. I meant the idea of getting rough with you is hot. I'm a big fan of full-contact sports."
    "I'm sure you are.”
    Richelle Mead, Frostbite

    “You forgot another lesson: Never turn your back until you know your enemy
    is dead. Looks like we’ll have to go over the lesson again the next time
    I see you—which will be soon.
    Love, D.”

    Richelle Mead
    “We need to be together."
    "Why?" I asked softly. The word was carried away on the wind, but he heard.
    "Because I want you."
    I gave him a sad smile, wondering if we'd meet again in the land of the dead. "Wrong answer," I told him.
    I let go”
    Richelle Mead, Blood Promise

    Richelle Mead
    “Life’s like that. As we grow and change, some things we’ve experienced before take on new meaning. It’ll happen for the rest of your life.”

  • #28
    Richelle Mead
    “None of it seems real. Who knows? Maybe it isn’t. Maybe it’s actually happening to someone else. Maybe it’s something I imagined. Maybe soon I’m going to wake up and find everything fixed with Lissa and Dimitri. We’ll all be together, and he’ll be there to smile and hold me and tell me everything ‘s going to be okay. Maybe all of this really has been a dream.
    But I don’t think so.”
    Richelle Mead, Blood Promise
