Maisie Quotes

“Humming the Star Wars theme to encourage myself, I wobbled onto my feet. Sometimes a girl's gotta provide her own trumpet-heavy heroic soundtrack.”
― Shannon Hale, Dangerous

“Just then, I notice Mrs. Mulgrave giving the younger woman beside her a slight push in my direction.
"This is my daughter, Maisie. She will be your maid."
"Maisie?" I can't help blurting out in astonishment.
I hardly recognize her. The past seven years have transformed Maisie from a plain preteen into a beautiful young adult. I didn't expect her to be so... pretty. She wears a black tee with black pants, but the simple clothing and lack of makeup only enhances her looks. She has heavy-lidded deep brown eyes, clear skin with the hint of a tan, the kind of plush pink lips that housewives in my New York hometown would pay good money for, and long brown hair highlighted with strands of gold. Her only adornments are a thick wristwatch and a rectangular pendant hanging on a chain around her neck.
I feel a pang of sympathy as I look from mother to daughter. If Maisie's luck had been different---if she'd been born to parents like the Marinos---she could have had the world at her feet, instead of being shut up in a house working as a maid.”
― Alexandra Monir, Suspicion

“You’re more than a princess to me. You’re my Maisie. My selkie. My temptress. You’ve tempted my heart from my chest, set it beating again, made me think it was worthy of beating again.”
― Tessonja Odette, Kiss of the Selkie

“Then we’ll learn to treat our kisses with respect. We’ll learn to only come together in kindness.”

“It’s still dangerous. I’m dangerous. I’ll always be deadly.”

A corner of his mouth lifts. “I already told you. I like a little danger.”

The heat in his voice has my stomach doing a flip. My heart pounds, warm with relief. Exhilaration. Love.”
― Tessonja Odette, Kiss of the Selkie
