“Love unrequited is violent. He loves you so much that he's turned it into hate.”
“When we were first married, I thought he must have been the most heartless, hateful man I'd ever known, but he was just as much a prisonor as I was. Where Vaughn imprisoned me with walls, he imprisoned his son with ignorance.”
Fav quotes/lines:
“I'd like to give you my heart, but since that might be inconvenient, I've brought you someone else's.”
“I mean, how would anyone learn anything if they weren't curious? How would scientists make discoveries? -- We all have the right to be different, don't we?”
“They can't change (...). But I do believe they have a beast within. In some it's buried so deep they'll never feel it; in others it stirs, and if a person can't give it a safe voice it warps and rots and breaks out in evil ways. They may not be able to change, but they still can be the beast of their own nightmares. It's our blessing that we can exorcise those demons. Sometimes it's our curse.”
“The Law is supposed to keep us safe and strong and able to birth healthy children, yet the Law wants us to tear each other apart to find a leader. The Law's a bunch of hypocrisy.”

"Because you cared," he whispered. "You cared so much for your people, it broke your heart to see the pack in ruins. You cared so much for your mother, you risked your life for hers. You cared enough to save someone who wanted you dead. And because you walk like a queen.”

Fav quotes/lines:
“Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look.”
“I'm lonely. Why do you think I had to learn to act so independent? I also get mad too quickly, and I hog the covers, and my second toe is longer than my big one. My hair has it's own zip code. Plus, I get certifiably crazy when I've got PMS. You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not.”

Jace on the other hand, looked like the kind of boy who'd come over your house and burn it down just for kicks.”
“Where there is love, there is often also hate. They can exist side by side.”
“What are all these?" Clary asked.
"Vials of holy water, blessed knives, steel and silver blades," Jace said, piling the weapons on the floor beside him, "electrum wire - not much use at the moment but it's always good to have spares - silver bullets, charms of protetion, crucifixes, stars of David-"
"Jesus," said Clary
"I doubt he'd fit."
"Jace." Clary was appalled.”
“Don't." Clary raised a warning hand. "I'm not really in the mood right now."
"That's got to be the first time a girl's ever said that to me," Jace mused.”
Fav quotes/lines:
“If you two were going to be that obvious about it, why didn't you guys come down in your Team Daniel and Team Miles T-shirts?"

Arriane clapped. "And they told me that book was banned!”

'Because,' he said, rubbing his hands across her back. 'Your dance card is full. For all eternity.”

"Why is that funny?"
"Oh," he said, his smile dropping. "You were serious."
"Of course I was! Look, I've technically been awake for two days. Why do we have to start this training now? Let me go to bed." I whined. "It's just one hour."
"How do you feel right now?"
"I hurt like hell."
"You'll feel worse tomorrow."
"So?"
"So, better get a jump on it while you still feel...not as bad."
"What kind of logic is that?" I retorted.”
Fav quotes/lines:
“I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars.”

“I tried to concentrate on the angel's voice instead.
"Bella, please! Bella, listen to me, please, please, please, Bella, please!" he begged.
Yes, I wanted to say. Anything. But I couldn't find my lips.
"Carlisle!" the angel called, agony in his perfect voice. "Bella, Bella, no, oh please, no, no!" And the angel was sobbing tearless, broken sobs.
The angel shouldn't weep, it was wrong. I tried to find him, to tell him everything was fine, but the water was so deep, it was pressing on me, and I couldn't breathe.”
“Stupid, shiny Volvo owner.”

as if Bones hadn’t figured that out. “Holy shit, you have to hide!”
I literally shoved him toward the bedroom, yelling, “I—I’ll be right there, I’m not
dressed!”
He went, but with none of my hysteria. “Kitten, you still haven’t told her? Blimey, what
are you waiting for?”
The Second Coming of Christ!” I snapped. “And not a moment sooner! Here, in the
closet!”
“One corpse, extra crispy! Do I hear a thousand dollars? ”
“Charlie whistled "Amazing Grace" as he drove. It was all I could do not to whip my head around and snap, Are you kidding me? Couldn't he pick something more appropriate, like "Shout at the Devil" or "Don't fear the Reaper"? Some people had no sense of the proper music for a kidnapping.”
Fav quotes/lines:
“Bran was stripping her futon down to the bare mattress when she entered her apartment. It was sort of like watching the president mowing the White House lawn or taking out the trash.”
“I hope this means you'll quit asking me to kill you. It gives me indigestion.”
“And that's when Anna realized that what the wolf had been asking Bran for was death.
Impulsively, Anna stepped away from Charles. She put a knee on the bench she'd been sitting on and reached over the back to close her hand on Asil's wrist, which was lying across the back of the pew.
He hissed in shock but didn't pull away. As she held him the scent of wilderness, of sickness, faded. He stared at her, the whites of his eyes showing brightly while his irises narrowed to small bands around his black pupil.
"Omega," he whispered, his breath coming harshly.”
“He can stop me in my tracks, but he can't make me do someting I don't want to”
“She understood his passion because she felt the same way: as if nothing was more important than the touch of her skin to his, as if she'd die if he left her.”

Fav quotes/lines:
“I should have kissed more than your hand...thought I'd have more time," he whispered between liquid, panting breaths. "...too late now."

“She turned her face to me. 'Can you tell I've been crying?'
"For the gazillionth time, no. You look fine.'
Shit. I knew it. I look terrible.'
'Aphrodite! I just said you look fine.'
'Yeah, well, fine is fine for most people. For me it's terrible.”
“Ancient one sleeping, waiting to rise
When earth's power bleeds sacred red
The mark strikes true; Queen Tsi Sgili will devise
He shall be washed from his entombing bed
Through the hand of the dead he is free
Terrible beauty, monstrous sight
Ruled again they shall be
Women shall kneel to his dark might
Kalona's song sounds sweet
As we slaughter with cold heat ”

Fav quotes/lines from this
book:
"My lips still
tingled from Ren's kiss, but when I closed my eyes, only Shay's face was
there." - Calla
"I didn't realize I
needed to point out that if we are attacked by a fire-breathing bitch, you can
change forms." - Calla
“Are you going to
apologize for slapping me?"
"No."
"I didn't think
so," he said.”
“The mouthful of turkey
sandwich I’d bitten off caught in my throat when Ren rested his hand on my leg,
his fingers exploring the curve of my thigh. I coughed and snatched the bottle
of water from his other hand, taking several desperate swallows before swatting
his fingers from my leg.
“Are you trying to kill
me?” I choked the words out. “Keep your hands to yourself.” - Calla
