"Oh, so you see some chick in baggy jeans and a hoodie, and you just have to have her so bad, you decide to repeat high school, just to get her?"

"Sounds about right." He laughs.

— Alyson Noel (Evermore)

"Though I have to admit, I had a good laugh when I realized you thought I was a bloodsucker." He smiles.

"Oh, well excuse me. I mean since there are immortals running around, I figure we may as well bring on the faeries, wizards, werewolves, and-" I shake my head. "I mean jeez, you talk about all this like it's normal!"
— Alyson Noel (Evermore)

""I love you," I whisper.
"And I love you." He smiles, his lips seeking mine. "Always have. Always will.""
— Alyson Noel (Evermore)

"You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love."

"Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies."

"The spell. Victor said you had to want me... to care about me... for it to work." When he didn't say anything, I tried to grip his shirt, but my fingers were too weak. "Did you? Did you want me?"
His words came out thickly. "Yes, Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish... we could be together."
"Then why did you lie to me?"
We reached the clinic, and he managed to open the door while still holding me. As soon as he stepped inside, he began yelling for help.
"Why did you lie?" I murmured again.
Still holding me in his arms, he looked down at me. I could hear voices and footsteps getting closer.
"Because we can't be together."
"Because of the age thing, right?" I asked. "Because you're my mentor?"
His fingertip gently wiped away a tear that had escaped down my cheek. "That's part of it," he said. "But also... well, you and I will both be Lissa's gaurdians someday. I need to protect her at all cost. If a pack of Strogoi come, I need to throw my body between them and her."
I know that. Of course that's what you have to do." The black sparkles were dancing in front of my eyes again. I was fading out.
"No. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you."
— Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy)

""You will lose what you value most, so treasure it while you can.""

"Yeah. We were badasses."

"The only thing better than imagining Dimitri carrying me in his arms was imagining him shirtless while carrying me in his arms."
— Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy)

"He stepped back and threw his arms out.
"I'm always crazy around you Rose. Here, I'm going to write an impromptu poem for you."
He tipped his head back and shouted to the sky:
"Rose is in red
But never in blue
Sharp as a thron
Fights like one too."

"If you want some advice-which I'm sure you don't-you guys should lay off on the magic. Christian still thinks you're movinf in on Lissa."
"What?" he asked in mock astonishment. "Dosen't he know my heart belongs to you?"
"It does not. And no, he's still worried about it, despite what I've told him."
"You know, I bet if we started making out right now, it would make him feel better."
"If you touch me," I said pleasantly, "I'll provide you with the opportunity to see if you can heal yourself. Then we'd see how badass you really are."
— Richelle Mead (Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3))

"adrian will you shut the hell up for five seconds?!!!"
— Richelle Mead (Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3))

"Dimitri: "She Might be wild and disrespectful, but if she has potential-"
Rose: "Wild and disrespecful? Who the hell are you anyway? Oursourced help?"
Kirova" "Guardian Belikov is the princess lissa's guardian now, her sanctioned guardian."
Rose: "You got cheap foreign labor to protect Lissa?"

""Sweat isn't a bad thing," he said, leaning his head against the wall thoughtfully. "Some of the best things in life happen while your sweating. Yeah, if you get too much of it and it gets old and stale, it turns pretty gross. But on a beautiful women? Intoxicating. If you c ould smell things like a vampire does, you'd know what I'm talking about. Most people mess it all up and drown themselves in perfume. Perfume can be good ... especially if you get one that goes with your chemistry. But you only need a hint. mix about 20 percent of that with 80 percent of your own perspiration ... mmm." He tilted his head to the side and looked at me. "Dead sexy.""
— Richelle Mead (Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2))

"Lissa and I had been friends ever since kindergarten, when our teacher had paired us up together for writing lessons. Forcing five-year-olds so spell Vasilisa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway was beyond cruel, and we’d–or rather, I’d–responded appropriately. I’d chucked my book at out teacher and called her a fascist bastard. I hadn’t known what those words meant, but I’d known how to hit a moving target.
Lissa and I had been inseparable ever since."
— Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy)

""You've asked me out tons of times."
"Not really. I've made inappropriate suggestions and frequently pushed for nudity. But I've never asked you out on a real date."

"i think you smoke them so you have something to do while thinking p your next witty line"
He choked on the smoke, caught between inhaling and laughing."Rose Hathaway, I cant wait to see you again. If you're this charming while tired and annoyed and this gorgeous while bruised and in ski clothes, you must be devestating at your peak"
"If by 'devestating' you mean that you should fear for your life, the yeah. You're right" I jerked open the door. "Goodnigh, Adrian"
"I'll see you soon"
"Not likely. I told you, I'm not into older guys"
I walked into the lodge. As the door closed, I just barely heard him call behind me, "Sure, you aren't""

"I fought against her, trying to mount some kind of defense, but it was like fighting Dimitri on crack. "

"The other problem in my life is Dimitri. He's the one who killed Natalie, and he's a total badass. He's also pretty good-looking. Okay- more then good-looking. He's hot-like, the kind of hot that makes you stopwalking on the street and get hit by traffic. "
— Richelle Mead

"Dimitri: Why did u come here?
Rose: because u hit me on the head and dragged me here!"

" "'By the way'[Gabriel] said,' everyone esle had better keep out of here. After you spend so much time in lockup, you get to like your space. You get kind of territorial. I wouldn't want anybody to get hurt.' ... Gabriel gave [Kaitlyn] a long, measuring look. Then he flashed a brilliant, unsettling smile. 'You can come in any time you like'""

""'Good night, Gabriel.' [Kaitlyn] said
You jerk
[Gabriel] widened his eyes. 'Don't you want to stay? It's a big bed.'""

""Kaitlyn is that kind of girl that might be too interesting, might tempt you to get involved... A girl who challenged him, who could be my equal... Her mind was a place of blue pools and blazing meteors... She stood slim and proud as some medival witch princess against dawn."

— L.J. Smith (The Passion)

"'You love her, don't you?' [Rob] said to Gabriel.
Gabriel finall seemed able to break their locked stare. He looked away, at the carpet. His face was bleak.
'Yes' he said
'More than anything,' Rob persisted. 'You'd crawl on your belly over broken glass for her. Easy.'
'Yes, damn you,' Gabriel said. 'Happy now?'"

"Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it's morning again, they'll wash away
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you."
— Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games)

"You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope."

"I’m coming back into focus when Caesar asks him if he has a girlfriend back home.
Peeta hesitates, then gives an unconvincing shake of his head.
“Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?” says Caesar.
Peeta sighs. “Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping.”
Sounds of sympathy from the crowd. Unrequited love they can relate to.
“She have another fellow?” asks Caesar.
“I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her,” says Peeta.
“So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down then, eh?” says Caesar encouraging-ly.
“I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning . . . won’t help in my case,” says Peeta.
“Why ever not?” says Caesar, mystified.
Peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. “Because . . . because . . . she came here with me.”
