I don't want to be a vampire' she told herself. But in her dreams, she kind of did.-Tana Bach-page 29-chapter 4
Holly Black
I heard you've been having some problems with your girlfriend. Headmistress Northcutt says. No, I say. Not at all. Audrey broke up with me after the winter holiday, exhausted by my moodiness. It's impossible to have problems with a girlfriend who's no longer mine.

Everyone danced -- sweaty bodies packed tight, drunk with sound.
Holly Black
in her dreams, blood tasted like fizzy strawberry soda. If you drank it too fast, you got brain freeze. When she was older, after she'd licked a cut on her finger, the taste of that became the taste in her dreams: copper and tears.

Holly Black
Every plan is a house of cards.

Holly Black
I can’t help feeling a little bit competitive and a little bit disappointed in myself that I’m already so far behind. After all, Yulikova thinks Barron has a real future with the Bureau. She told me so. I told her that sociopaths are relentlessly charming. I think she figured I was joking.
Holly Black
I'm a powerful being... a wizard, Corny said. So don't try anything. Yes, said the little faery, blinking black eyes rapidly. No. Try nothing.
Holly Black
I envy what I fear and hate what I envy.
Holly Black
A stray dog, I might understand, she said. But this? You are too softhearted. No, Mabry, Ravus said. I am not. He looked in Val's direction. I think she wants to die. Maybe you can help her after all, Mabry said. You're good at helping people die.
Holly Black
If I'm not a murderer, asked Corny, how come I keep killing people?
Holly Black
It's starting to sink in, Corny said. I can almost look at you without wanting to bang my head against the wall.
Holly Black
Ah coffee. The sweet balm by which we shall accomplish today's tasks.
Holly Black
He runs to the sink to spit it out. I grin. There’s nothing quite as funny as someone else’s misery.
Holly Black
I thought weirdness was a good thing. I don't mean that defensively, either. I thought it was something to be cultivated.
