“Por eso, cuando hablamos del amor, se dificulta tanto, porque estamos hablando de algo a lo cual es muy difícil de ponerle palabras. De allí que muchos, si pudieran, inventarían algún aparato que les permitiera medir con exactitud el grado del amor, para saber con certeza cuánto lo quieren. Pero, ante la falta de tan preciado instrumento, nos conformamos con metáforas más bien geográficas, y así alguien le dice a su pareja que la quiere hasta el cielo. Pero ella, que quiere marcar que su amor es más grande, le responde que ella también lo quiere hasta el cielo, pero ida y vuelta.”

“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.

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... ”

“Do you ever stop being so serious and dull?"
"Do you ever stop being such a prick?" I snapped back.
Dead—really, truly, I should have been dead for that.
But Lucien grinned at me. "Much better.”

“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.”
