It’s just that you go so crazy being alone like that. Sometimes he’d forget my water or food and I’d cry and cry and cry.” She stops talking and looks out the window. “I would try to tell myself stories to pass the time. Fairy tales. Parts of books. But they got used up.
Holly Black
His eyes look too bright, the way the do in people who are in love, people who are enraged, and people who are completely bonkers.
Holly Black
Maybe it was that nearly everyone else was dead and she felt a little bit dead too, but she figured that even a vampire deserved to be saved. Maybe she ought to leave him, but she wasn't going to.
Holly Black
I'm sorry I kissed you- it was selfish and it upset you- but you can't ask me to pretend I didnt want to.
Holly Black
I like all the things that make you monstrous.
Holly Black
But the Courts aren't places humans are supposed to be, especially the Unseelie Court. Most faeries won't even go there. We have to go - we have to get Ravus's heart. He's going to die if we don't. what are we going to do? Go down there and ask for it? Pretty much.
Holly Black
Clever as the Devil and twice as pretty.

The row of dolls watched her impassively from the bookshelf, their tea party propriety almost certainly offended.
Holly Black
He must have been handsome when he was alive and was handsome still, although made monstrous by his pallor and her awareness of what he was. His mouth looked soft, his cheekbones as sharp as blades, and his jaw curved, giving him an off-kilter beauty. His black hair a mad forest of dirty curls.
