“What you know is just as valuable as what other people know. Never let them see what you know.”

“I know you’re a wild thing, malen’kaya lisa,” he says. My little fox. “But what you’ll come to understand is that I’m going to tame you.”

I’d rather die next to her than live without her.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them. Ernest Hemingway

“You’re mine forever, my little love,” Ivan says. “My own grim reaper.”
