More quotes by Holly Black
Those who really love you don't mean to hurt you and if they do, you can't see it in their eyes but it hurts them too.
Holly Black
No, said Luis, You can't date the Lord of the Night Court. Well, I'm not, he dumped me. You can't get dumped by the lord of the night court. Oh, yes, you can. You so completely can.
Holly Black
The truth is messy. It's raw and uncomfortable. You can't blame people for preferring lies.
Holly Black
Kaye: You know what the sun looks like? Janet: No, What? Kaye: Like he slit his wrists in a bathtub and the blood is all over the water. Janet: That's gross, Kaye. Kaye: And the moon is just watching. She's just watching him die. She must have driven him to it.

Clever as the Devil and twice as pretty.
Holly Black
The more powerful you become, the more others will find ways to master you. They'll do it through those you love and those you hate. They will find the bit and the bridle that fits your mouth and will make you yield.
Holly Black
She sat in the dew-damp grass and ripped up clumps of it, tossing them in the air and feeling vaguely guilty about it. Some gnome ought to pop out of the tree and scold her for torturing the lawn.

A second book that makes you rethink the first book is the Holy Grail of a series.
Holly Black
Memory is slippery. It bends to our understanding of the world, twists to accommodate our prejudices. It is unreliable. Witnesses seldom remember the same things. They identify the wrong people. They give us the details of events that never happened. Memory is slippery, but my memories suddenly feel slipperier.
Holly Black
I consider kissing her right there on the dirty couch, but self-preservation stops me. Once someone hurts you, it’s harder to relax around them, harder to think of them as safe to love. But it doesn’t stop you wanting them. Sometimes I actually think it makes the wanting worse
Holly Black
It's not that I don't know that it's a bad idea. It's that, lately, bad ideas have a particular hold over me.
Holly Black
She knew what it felt like to tremble like that before touching someone -- desire so acute that it became despair.
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
Marks forget that whenever something's too good to be true, that's because it's a con.
Holly Black
I thought of how proud he was when he took the marks- cutting the skin of his throat in a long slash and then packing it with ashes until keloid scars rose up. He called it his second smile.
Holly Black
I thought weirdness was a good thing. I don't mean that defensively, either. I thought it was something to be cultivated.
Holly Black
Keep going' she told herself, 'Don't look back.' But she looked anyways.
Holly Black
If I'm not a murderer, asked Corny, how come I keep killing people?
Holly Black
I wonder about death, I who may never know it. It looks much like ecstacy, the way they open their mouths as they drown, the way their fingers dig into your skin. Their eyes are wide and startled and they trash in your hands as though with an excess of passion.

It’s hard to look at Barron now, but I do. He’s smirking. His black hair and black suit make him into a shadow, as if I conjured some dark mirror of myself.
