    “The three of you have one solution to every problem. Murder. No key fits every lock.” Cardan gives us all a stern look, holding up a long-fingered hand with my stolen ruby ring still on one finger. “Someone tries to betray the High King, murder.

    “Camilla, Henry, Thomas, you greedy monsters,” Dad said. “Not a crumb left for your father? That’s it, you’re not my children. You’re just sad, bald monkeys I won from circus folk in a poker game.”
    Ten retreated with his prize and went back to lean against Dad’s leg. He split the brownie in two and offered half silently up to Dad.
    “Well,” Dad conceded, “I guess you might be my kid after all.”
    Sarah Rees Brennan, Unspoken

    “It’s you I love,” he says. “I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.” He walks to the door to the royal chambers, as though to end the conversation. “You probably guessed as much,” he says. “But just in case you didn’t.”
    Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

    Cassandra Clare
    “We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Cassandra Clare

    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Victoria Schwab
    “Delilah Bard,” she said. “We’ve met before. And you looked worse.”
    Rhy laughed silently. “I apologize for anything I might have done. I was not myself.”
    “I apologize for shooting you in the leg,” said Lila. “I was myself entirely.”
    Rhy broke into his perfect smile. “I like this one,” he said to Kell. “Can I borrow her?”
    “You can try,” said Lila, raising a brow. “But you’ll be a prince without his fingers.”
    V.E. Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic

    Victoria Schwab
    “What are you?" she asked.
    "A monster," said Kell hoarsely. "You'd better let me go."
    The girl gave a small, mocking laugh. "Monsters don't faint in the presence of ladies."
    "Ladies don't dress like men and pick pockets," retorted Kell.
    Her smile only sharpened. "What are you really?"
    "Tied to your bed," said Kell matter-of-factly.
    "And?"
    His brow furrowed. "And in trouble.”
    Victoria Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic

    Shelby Mahurin
    “Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from you.’” He trailed his fingers down my arm in slow, torturous strokes. My head fell back on his shoulder, my eyes fluttering closed, as his lips continued to move against my neck. “‘Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay.”
    Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove

    “You should try not to talk so much, friend. You'll sound far less stupid that way.

    - Breeze”
    Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn: The Final Empire

    Brandon Sanderson
    “Breeze strolled over to the table and chose a seat with his characteristic decorum. The portly man raised his dueling cane, pointing it at Ham. 'I see that my period of intellectual respite has come to an end.'

    Ham smiled. 'I thought up a couple beastly questions while I was gone, and I've been saving them just for you, Breeze.'

    'I'm dying of anticipation,' Breeze said. He turned his cane toward Lestibournes. 'Spook, drink.'

    Spook rushed over and fetched Breeze a cup of wine.

    'He's such a fine lad,' Breeze noted, accepting the drink. 'I barely even have to nudge him Allomantically. If only the rest of you ruffians were so accommodating.'

    Spook frowned. 'Niceing the not on the playing without.'

    'I have no idea what you just said, child,' Breeze said. 'So I'm simply going to pretend it was coherent, then move on.'

    Kelsier rolled his eyes. 'Losing the stress on the nip,' he said. 'Notting without the needing of care.'

    'Riding the rile of the rids to the right,' Spook said with a nod.

    'What are you two babbling about?' Breeze said testily.

    'Wasing the was of brightness,' Spook said. 'Nip the having of wishing of this.'

    'Ever wasing the doing of this,' Kelsier agreed.

    'Ever wasing the wish of having the have,' Ham added with a smile. 'Brighting the wish of wasing the not.'

    Breeze turned to Dockson with exasperation. 'I believe our companions have finally lost their minds, dear friend.'

    Dockson shrugged. Then, with a perfectly straight face, he said, 'Wasing not of wasing is.”

    Brandon Sanderson
    “Elend smiled. "Oh, come on. You have to admit that you're unusual, Vin. You're like some strange mixture of a noblewoman, a street urchin, and a cat. Plus, you've mangaged - in our short three years together - to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick.”
    Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

  • #22
    Brandon Sanderson
    “It's a mystery," Vin said, narrowing her eyes and smiling. "We Mistborn are incredibly mysterious."
    Elend paused." Um...I'm Mistborn too, Vin. That doesn't make any sense."
    "We Mistborn need not make sense," Vin said." It's beneath us. Come on-the sun's already down. We need to get moving.”
    Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

    Cassandra Clare
    “When you love someone, they become a part of who you are. They're in everything you do. They're in the air you breathe and the water you drink and the blood in your veins. Their touch stays on your skin and their voice stays in your ears and their thoughts stay in your mind. You know their dreams because their nightmares pierce your heart and their good dreams are your dreams too. And you don't think they're perfect, but you know their flaws, the deep-down truth of them, and the shadows of all their secrets, and they don't frighten you away; in fact you love them more for it, because you don't want perfect. You want them. You want—"

    He broke off then, as if realizing everyone was looking at him again.

    "You want what?" said Dru with enormous eyes.

    "Nothing," Julian said. "I'm just talking.”
    Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

    “Lex malla, lex nulla. A bad law is no law.”
    Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

  • #25
    Cassandra Clare
    “That's not the spirit of the law, Emma. Remember? The Law is hard, but it is the Law."

    Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

  • #26
    Cassandra Clare
    “In Emma's defense, Cameron's annoying, but he's hot." Julian gave her a look. "I mean, if you like guys who look like a redheaded Captain America, which I... don't?

    "Captain America is definitely the most handsome Avenger," said Cristina. "But I like the Hulk. I would like to heal his broken heart."

    "We're Nephilim," said Julian. "We're not even supposed to know about the Avengers. Besides," he added, "Iron Man is obviously the best-looking.”
    Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

    Cassandra Clare
    “Lex malla, lex nulla,” said Julian with a regretful wave of his hand. It was the Blackthorn family motto: A bad law is no law.
    “I wonder what other family mottoes are,” Emma mused. “Do you know any?”
    “The Lightwood family motto is ‘We mean well.’ ”
    “Very funny.”
    Julian looked over at her. “No, really, it actually is.”
    “Seriously? So what’s the Herondale family motto? ‘Chiseled but angsty’?”
    He shrugged. ‘If you don’t know what your last name is, it’s probably Herondale’?”
    Emma burst out laughing. “What about Carstairs?” she asked, tapping Cortana. “ ‘We have a sword’? ‘Blunt instruments are for losers’?”
    “Morgenstern,” offered Julian. “ ‘When in doubt, start a war’?”
    Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows

  • #28
    Cassandra Clare
    “What’s the Nephilim motto again?”
    “ ‘We are dust and shadows,’ ” said Ty, not looking up from his book.
    “Some of us are very handsome dust,” Jace added”
    Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows

  • #29
    Cassandra Clare
    “And if we don't have Energy runes, we'll have to get our energy the old-fashioned way."
    Mark looked puzzled. "Drugs?"
    "Chocolate," Emma said. "I brought chocolate. Mark, where do you even come up with these things?"
    Mark smiled crookedly, shrugging one shoulder. "Faerie humor?”
    Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows

  • #30
    Cassandra Clare
    “He caught her by the wrist, brought her hand to his bare chest. Splayed her fingers over his heart. It beat against her palm, like a fist punching its way through his sternum. 'Break my heart,' he said. 'Break it in pieces. I give you permission.”
    Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows
