    Sarah J. Maas
    There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
    And those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.

    At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair,
    But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.

    By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet,
    But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat.

    For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow,
    When I kill, I do it slow...

    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “Well, good-bye for now," he said, rolling his neck as if we hadn't been talking about anything important at all. He bowed at the waist, those wings vanishing entirely, and had begun to fade into the nearest shadow when he went rigid.
    His eyes locked on mine wide and wild, and his nostrils flared. Shock—pure shock flashed across his features at whatever he saw on my face, and he stumbled back a step. Actually stumbled.
    "What is—" I began.
    He disappeared—simply disappeared, not a shadow in sight—into the crisp air.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “When you healed my arm...You didn't need to bargain with me. You could have demanded every single week of the year." My brows knit together as he turned, already half-consumed by the dark. "Every single week, and I would have said yes." It wasn't entirely a question, but I needed the answer.
    A half smile appeared on his sensuous lips. "I know," he said, and vanished.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “I stared at the nose I'd seen bleeding only hours before, the violet eyes that had been so filled with pain. "Why?" I asked.
    He knew what I meant, and shrugged. "Because when the legends get written, I didn't want to be remembered for standing on the sidelines. I want my future offspring to know that I was there, and that I fought against her at the end, even if I couldn't do anything useful."
    I blinked, this time not at the brightness of the sun.
    "Because," he went on, his eyes locked with mine, "I didn't want you to fight alone. Or die alone."
    And for a moment, I remembered that faerie who had died in our foyer, and how I'd told Tamlin the same thing. "Thank you," I said, my throat tight.
    Rhys flashed a grin that didn't quite reach his eyes. " I doubt you'll be saying that when I take you to the Night Court.”

    “His tunic was unbuttoned at the top, and he ran a hand through his blue-black hair before he wordlessly slumped against the wall across from me and slid to the floor.
    "What do you want?" I demanded.
    "A moment of peace and quiet," he snapped, rubbing his temples.
    I paused. "From what?"
    He massaged his pale skin, making the corners of his eyes go up and down, out and in. He sighed. "From this mess."
    I sat up farther on my pallet of the hay. I'd never seen him so candid.
    "That damned bitch is running me ragged," he went on, and dropped his hands from his temples to lean his head against the wall. "You hate me. Imagine how you'd feel if I made you serve in my bedroom. I'm High Lord of the Night Court - not her harlot."
    So the slurs were true. And I could imagine very easily how much I would hate him - what it would do to me - to be enslaved to someone like that. "Why are you telling me this?"
    The swagger and nastiness were gone. "Because I'm tired and lonely, and you're the only person I can talk to without putting myself at risk." He let out a low laugh. "How absurd: a High Lord of Prythian and a - "
    "You can leave if you're just going to insult me."
    "But I'm so good at it". He flashed one of his grins. I glared at him, but he sighted. "One wrong move tomorrow, Freyre, and we're all doomed.”

    “Everything I love has always had a tendency to be taken from me. I tell very few about the wings. Or the flying.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Because I wouldn't want to die alone," I said, and my voice wobbled as I looked at Tamlin again, forcing myself to meet his stare. "Because I'd want someone to hold my hand until the end, and awhile after that.
    That's something everyone deserves, human or faerie.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “Her magic sent him sprawling, and it then hurled into Rhysand again - so hard that his head cracked against the stones and the knife dropped from his splayed fingers. No one made a move to help him, and she struck him once more with her power. The red marble splintered where he hit it, spiderwebbing toward me. With wave after wave she hit him. Rhys groaned.
    "Stop," I breathed, blood filling my mouth as I strained a hand to reach her feet. "Please."
    Rhys's arms buckled as he fought to rise, and blood dripped from his nose, splattering on the marble. His eyes met mine.
    The bond between us went taut. I flashed between my body and his, seeing myself through his eyes, bleeding and broken and sobbing.
    I snapped back into my own mind as Amarantha turned to me again. "Stop? Stop? Don't pretend you care, human," she crooned, and curled her finger. I arched my back, my spine straining to the point of cracking, and Rhysand bellowed my name as I lost my grip on the room.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “It took me a long while to realize that Rhysand, whether he knew it or not, had effectively kept me from shattering completely.”

    “Rhysand yelled my name again - yelled it as though he cared. I blacked out, but she brought me back, ensuring that I felt everything ensuring that I screamed every time a bone broke.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

  • #18
    Sarah J. Maas
    “I heard you scream,” he said as he examined the blade in my hands. I’d never held one so finely crafted, so perfectly balanced. “And I hesitated. Not long, but I hesitated before I came running. Even though Tam got there in time, I still broke my word in those seconds I waited.” He jerked his chin at the knife. “It’s yours. Don’t bury it in my back, please.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “What have you done to me?"
    Rhysand stood, running a hand through his short, dark hair. It's custom in my court for bargains to be permanently marked upon flesh."
    I rubbed my left forearm and hand, the entirety of which was now covered in swirls and whorls of black ink. Even my fingers weren't spared, and a large eye was tattooed in the center of my palm. It was feline, and its slitted pupil stared right back me.
    "Make it go away," I said, and he laughed.
    "You humans are truly grateful creatures, aren't you?”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Blood filled my mouth, warm as it dribbled out between my lips. I gazed at Tamlin's masked face one last time.

    "Love," I breathed, the world crumbling into a blackness with no end. A pause in Amarantha's magic. "The answer to the riddle...," I got out, chocking on my own blood, "is... love."

    Tamlin's eyes went wide before something forever cracked in my spine.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “In saving Tamlin, I was to damn myself.”

    “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.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

  • #25
    Sarah J. Maas
    “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.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

  • #26
    Sarah J. Maas
    “I wept as I understood. Kill me now, she was saying. Do it fast. Don't make it hurt. Kill me now.

    I couldn't do it.

    But she held my gaze-held my gaze and nodded.

    As I lifted the ash dagger, something inside me fractured so completely that there would be no hope of ever repairing it. No matter how many years passed, no matter how many times I might try to paint her face.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “Against slavery, against tyranny, I would gladly go to my death, no matter whose freedom I was defending.”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Feyre," he said--softly enough that I faced him again. "Why?" He tilted his head to the side. "You dislike our kind on a good day. And after Andras . . ." Even in the darkened hallway, his usual bright eyes were shadowed. "So why?"

    I took a step closer to him, my blood-covered feet sticking to the rug. I glanced down the stairs to where I could still see the prone form of the faerie and the stumps of his wings.

    "Because I wouldn't want to die alone," I said, and my voice wobbled as I looked at Tamlin again, forcing myself to meet his stare. "Because I'd want someone to hold my hand until the end, and awhile after that. That's something everyone deserves, human or faerie." I swallowed hard, my throat painfully tight. "I regret what I did to Andras," I said, the words so strangled they were no more than a whisper. "I regret that there was . . . such hate in my heart. I wish I could undo it--and . . . I'm sorry. So very sorry.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “For someone with a heart of stone, yours is certainly soft these days.”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “All those years, what I did for them... And they didn't try to stop you from taking me." There it was, the giant pain that cracked me in two if I thought about it too long.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses
