Maleficent Quotes

“This is stolen? We're in a stolen jet?"
"Not stolen," said Donegan Bane from the co-pilot's seat.
"Almost stolen," Gracious corrected.
"Semi-stolen," said Donegan.
"Quasi-stolen," said Gracious.
Aurora's frown did not turn upside down. "So is it stolen or not?"
Donegan and Gracious hesitated.
"Yes," they both said together.”

“Practically every princess in peril has been saved by Love's First Kiss! For goodness' sake, between witches and fairies, can't we think of something more original? I'm weary of this. Why must a young girl need a man to save her? Why can't a princess fight for her own life, break her own curse? Why must it always be a prince? By Hades, I want to kill Prince Phillip on principle, just so we don't have yet one more prince kissing some helpless sleeping girl, making her feel like she has to marry him out of gratitude.”
― Serena Valentino, Mistress of All Evil

“My fairytale was full of witches, pixies, pirates, dementors, princesses, clowns, true love, betrayal, battles and kings. Yet, I stood on the edge of never and with the bravery of a queen I could see across forever....and I whisphered to the wind, "Morals of great stories didn’t live in kindness. They bloomed from the ashes of who you were to where you were meant to be."”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Her eyes were full of hate. Full. And... at the same time, empty. Soulless. Like those horrible creatures she keeps around her. The dragon was frightening... but Maleficent, she was bone-chilling.”
― Liz Braswell, Once Upon a Dream

“Dignity is never silent. It has a voice, heart and soul. Truth and courage is its foundation. It will stand against the masses and speak the truth. Because every great person has always done what others found fear in doing.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“It was a lonely place. A place for the dark-hearted. It's where I deserve to be, Maleficent told herself every time she arrived. For only someone with a heart as dark as mine could do something so evil to a girl with a heart as light as Aurora's.”
― Elizabeth Rudnick, Maleficent

“And then... she heard voices. Her aunt's voice... 'Your daughter?' Maleficent asked, her voice rising in dramatic surprise. 'Really? What kind of loving mother hands her daughter off to the fairies for sixteen years?'... Maleficent swung around, arching her arms and fingers like an animal, lowering her yellow eyes to their level.”
― Liz Braswell, Once Upon a Dream

“We're not here to discuss Maleficent! Her story is too long and complicated to debate in the time we have left...”
― Serena Valentino, Poor Unfortunate Soul

“Faeries can be quite mean if they are provoked.”
― Elizabeth Rudnick, Maleficent

Exactly like her.”
― Melissa de la Cruz, The Isle of the Lost

“Diaval," she hissed, "we are going to follow Aurora."
"Are we, mistress? How very different from my usual orders." She scowled at him and he gave her a grin. It was useless trying to intimidate the raven-man these days. He knew her entirely too well.”
― Holly Black, Heart of the Moors: An Original Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Novel

“From the other side of the hill, two enormous black wings appeared through the mist. Then a pair of sharp, twisted horns. Slowly, Maleficent rose into the air, looking like a creature from hell. Behind her, there was only mist. No army of her own. No faeries or creatures. Just Maleficent.”
― Elizabeth Rudnick, Maleficent

“I love you beyond reason, with all the persistence of revenge and all the violence of hate. I love you into the deepest dark and under the harshest light. I bled, and the blood reminded me that I was alive, that I was more than the dark hope to which I clung. I want to stay awake, for you. Alive, for you.”
― Rebecca F. Kenney, The Maleficent Faerie

“I can reuse the yarn and turn it into something that can be actually worn without hurting Tante's feelings. She dismissed any hope of me ever finding it after, and I quote, a vile sorceress must have snatched your birthday present."
From her hiding place, Maleficent's heart beat hard suddenly, a single throbbing jolt.”
― Sara Raasch, A Sword In Slumber
