Guy Gavriel Kay
“I hate that man down there," he said quietly. "I hate everything he stands for. There is no passion in him, no love, no pride. Only ambition. Nothing matters but that. Nothing in the world can move him to pity or grief but his own fate. Everything is a tool, an instrument. He wants the Emperor's Tiara, everyone knows it, but he doesn't want it for anything. He only wants. I doubt anything in his life has ever moved him to feel anything for anyone else ... love, loss, anything.”
Guy Gavriel Kay, Tigana

Virginia Evans, The Correspondent

“we are thirty in our hearts, before all the disappointment, all the ways it turned out to be so much more painful than we thought it would be, but then again, it has also been magic.”
Virginia Evans, The Correspondent

“Ilya wanted to tell Shane that it had been one of the best days of his life. It had been awkward”
Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry
