    “Thirty minutes later, Rowan was still staring up at the ceiling, teeth gritted as he calmed the roaring in
    his veins that was steadily shredding through his self-control.
    That gods-damned nightgown.
    Shit.
    He was in such deep, unending shit.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “And tell Rowan,” Aelin said, fighting her own sob, “that I'm sorry I lied. But tell him it was all borrowed time anyway. Even before today, I knew it was all just borrowed time, but I still wish we'd had more of it.” She fought past her trembling mouth. “Tell him he has to fight. He must save Terrasen, and remember the vows he made to me. And tell him . . . tell him thank you—for walking that dark path with me back to the light.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Would you like me to grovel with gratitude for bringing me here, High Lord?"

    "Ah. The Suriel told you nothing important, did it?"

    That smile of his sparked something bold in my chest. "He also said that you liked being brushed, and if I'm a clever girl, I might train you with treats."

    Tamlin tipped his head to the sky and roared with laughter. Despite myself, I let out a quiet laugh.

    "I might die of surprise," Lucien said behind me. "You made a joke, Feyre."

    I turned to look at him with a cool smile. "You don't want to know what the Suriel said about you." I flicked my brows up, and Lucien lifted his hands in defeat.

    "I'd pay good money to hear what the Suriel thinks of Lucien," Tamlin said.

    A cork popped, followed by the sounds of Lucien chugging the bottle's contents and chuckling with a muttered, "Brushed.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    Sarah J. Maas
    “There had never been any line between them, only his own stupid fear and pride. Because from the moment he'd pulled her out of that mine in Endovier and she had set those eyes upon him, still fierce despite a year in hell, he'd been walking toward this, walking to her. So Chaol brushed away her tears, lifter her chin, and kissed her.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Crown of Midnight

    Sarah J. Maas
    “His tunic was unbuttoned at the top, and he ran a hand through his blue-black hair before he wordlessly slumped against the wall across from me and slid to the floor.
    "What do you want?" I demanded.
    "A moment of peace and quiet," he snapped, rubbing his temples.
    I paused. "From what?"
    He massaged his pale skin, making the corners of his eyes go up and down, out and in. He sighed. "From this mess."
    I sat up farther on my pallet of the hay. I'd never seen him so candid.
    "That damned bitch is running me ragged," he went on, and dropped his hands from his temples to lean his head against the wall. "You hate me. Imagine how you'd feel if I made you serve in my bedroom. I'm High Lord of the Night Court - not her harlot."
    So the slurs were true. And I could imagine very easily how much I would hate him - what it would do to me - to be enslaved to someone like that. "Why are you telling me this?"
    The swagger and nastiness were gone. "Because I'm tired and lonely, and you're the only person I can talk to without putting myself at risk." He let out a low laugh. "How absurd: a High Lord of Prythian and a - "
    "You can leave if you're just going to insult me."
    "But I'm so good at it". He flashed one of his grins. I glared at him, but he sighted. "One wrong move tomorrow, Freyre, and we're all doomed.”
    Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

    “What's your name?" he asked above the roar of the music.

    She leaned close. "My name is Wind," she whispered. "And Rain. And Bone and Dust. My name is a snippet of a half-remembered song."

    He chuckled a low, delightful sound. She was drunk and silly, and so full of the glory of being young and alive and in the capital of the world that she could hardly contain herself.

    "I have no name," she purred. "I am whoever the keepers of my fate tell me to be."

    He grasped her by her wrist, running a thumb along the sensitive sknin underneath. "Then let me call you Mine for a dance or two.”
    Sarah J. Maas, The Assassin and the Underworld

    “Lorcan reached out, grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him. Hopeless, bleak eyes met his. He brushed away a stray tear with his thumb. “I made a promise to protect you. I will not break it, Elide.”

    “I will always find you,” he swore to her.

    Her throat bobbed.

    Lorcan whispered, “I promise.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

    Sarah J. Maas
    “That was when they noticed that every musician on the stage was wearing mourning black. That was when they shut up. And when the conductor raised his arms, it was not a symphony that filled the cavernous space.

    It was the Song of Eyllwe.

    Then Song of Fenharrow. And Melisande. And Terrasen. Each nation that had people in those labour camps.

    And finally, not for pomp or triumph, but to mourn what they had become, they played the Song of Adarlan.

    When the final note finished, the conductor turned to the crowd, the musicians standing with him. As one, they looked to the boxes, to all those jewels bought with the blood of a continent. And without a word, without a bow or another gesture, they walked off the stage.

    The next morning, by royal decree, the theatre was shut down.

    No one saw those musicians or their conductor again.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire

    “Please don't go."
    He let out an uneven breath. "You'll be fine without me. You always have been."
    Maybe once, but not now. "How can I convince you to stay?"
    "You can't."
    She threw down the torch. "Do you want me to beg, is that it?"
    "No-never."
    "Then tell me-"
    "What more can I say?" he exploded, his whisper rough and harsh "I’ve already told you everything—I’ve already told you that if I stay here, if I have to live with Arobynn, I'll snap his damned neck.”
    “But why? Why can’t you let it go?”
    He grabbed her shoulders and shook her. “Because I love you!”
    Her mouth fell open.
    “I love you,” he repeated, shaking her again. “I have for years. And he hurt you and made me watch because he’s always known how I felt, too. But if I asked you to pick, you’d choose Arobynn, and I. Can’t. Take. It.”
    The only sounds were their breathing, an uneven beat against the rushing of the sewer river.
    “You’re a damned idiot,” she breathed, grabbing the front of his tunic. “You’re a moron and an ass and a damned idiot.” He looked like she had hit him. But she went on, and grasped both sides of his face, "Because I'd pick you."
    And then she kissed him.”
    Sarah J. Maas, The Assassin and the Underworld

    “You love your country," she said. "I can't let you give all that up." He caught a glimmer of pain and hope in her eyes, and before he knew what he was doing , he'd closed the distance between them, one hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder.

    "I'd be the greatest fool in the world to let you go alone.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Crown of Midnight

    “There are no gods left to watch, I’m afraid. And there are no gods left to help you now, Aelin Galathynius.'
    Aelin smiled, and Goldryn burned brighter. 'I am a god.”

    “Aelin looked at Chaol and Dorian and sobbed. Opened her arms to them, and wept as they held each other. “I love you both,” she whispered. “And no matter what may happen, no matter how far we may be, that will never change.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

    “I thought, this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen, and I had better keep it a safe distance away from me. I thought, if someone like that ever loved me, it would set me on fire.
    And then I was a careless fool, and I fell in love with you anyway. When you rang me at truly shocking hours of the night, I loved you. When you kissed me in disgusting public toilets and pouted in hotel bars and made me happy in ways in which it had never even occurred to me that a mangled-up, locked-up person like me could be happy, I loved you.
    And then, inexplicably, you had the absolute audacity to love me back. Can you believe it?
    Sometimes, even now, I still can't.”
    Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

    “The next slide is titled: 'Exploring your sexuality: Healthy, but does it have to be with the Prince of England?' She apologizes for not having time to come up with better titles. Alex actively wishes for the sweet release of death.”

    “The phrase 'see attached bibliography' is the single sexiest thing you have ever written to me.”
    Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

    “Should I tell you that when we're apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? That when I sleep, I see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I've just been with you, the phantom touch of your hand on the back of my neck fresh and not imagined? That I can feel your skin against mine, and it makes every bone in my body ache? That, for a few moments, I can hold my breath and be back there with you, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all?”
    Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

    “So, imagine we’re all born with a set of feelings. Some are broader or deeper than others, but for everyone, there’s that ground floor, a bottom crust of the pie. That’s the maximum depth of feeling you’ve ever experienced. And then, the worst thing happens to you. The very worst thing that could have happened. The thing you had nightmares about as a child, and you thought, it’s all right because that thing will happen to me when I’m older and wiser, and I’ll have felt so many feelings by then that this one worst feeling, the worst possible feeling, won’t seem so terrible.

    “But it happens to you when you’re young. It happens when your brain isn’t even fully done cooking—when you’ve barely experienced anything, really. The worst thing is one of the first big things that ever happens to you in your life. It happens to you, and it goes all the way down to the bottom of what you know how to feel, and it rips it open and carves out this chasm down below to make room. And because you were so young, and because it was one of the first big things to happen in your life, you’ll always carry it inside you. Every time something terrible happens to you from then on, it doesn’t just stop at the bottom —it goes all the way down.”
    Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue
