“Every fortune ever accomulated started with a leap of faith. But before you take that leap, first take a long,hard look at yourself.
Know who you are.
Ask yourself.
Am I an insider or Am I an outsider?
Am I a lamb? Or am I a lion?
Am I a predator? Or am I prey?
Am I good at money? Or am I good at people?

What lines will I not cross?

Don't try to be anyone else. Just know who you are and use that to your advantage.

I, on the other hand, offer the ideaof more. No guarantees, merely that faint glimmer of optimism that change might come. It doesn't even matter at this point what the change might be. They're so desperate.they don't care. They don't even think to ask.
Perhaps the key is staying calm while others panic.”

― Kiera Cass, The One

“You see, Rika," I told her. "There are people in the world who are destined to be played. Victims who wouldn't be able to change their fate even if they went back and lived life over a thousand different ways." I made a show of letting my eyes fall down her form. "And then there are players. Like you and me." I gestured to the threesome. "Which piece would you move next?”

"By slitting his throat."

The silence in the garage was broken only by the sound of water drip-dripping somewhere in the distance. Sara just stared. So did Ransom. Then the idiot male started laughing hysterically. He laughed so hard he fell off the bike and onto the scarred concrete of the garage floor. Even that didn't stop him.

Elena would've kicked him, except he'd probably use the chance to pull her down with him. "Shut up before I do the same to you."

He tried to stop laughing. Failed. "Jesus, Ellie. You are awesome!”
― Nalini Singh, Angels' Blood

“Even as she spoke, silver blue flashed on her other side and then Illium was standing beside her, his wing touching Elena's in an intimacy that made Raphael raise an eyebrow. Illium's lips curved in a wicked smile that did little to hide the intensity of his emotions. I would not watch you die again, Sire. His veins stood out against his skin as he gripped the wrist of one hand with the other.


Raphael met those eyes of gold that had stood beside him for centuries. If I had done so, I would have gone knowing you would keep my heart safe.


Illium's gaze went to Elena. Always.”

“She got to me."

"It happens to the best of us."

"Yeah? Who gets to you?" He was so strong that sometimes she worried. Everyone needed to bend a little, even a panther responsible for the lives of his entire pack.

Sascha smiled at the thought of Hawke's flirting. The SnowDancer alpha did it only to jerk Lucas's chain. "I never saw any present. What was it?"

She burst out laughing. "Wicked, wicked man.”
