Holly Black
You have to write a lot. And you have to rewrite what you wrote a lot more.
Holly Black
You set me up, I say. One big con. You can't blame me because I turned out not to be gullible enough. You can't blame the mark. That's not how it works. Have some respect for the nature of the game.
Holly Black
I got bored, he says. Besides, you know what's creepier than walking around your dead brothers' apartment? Sitting alone in a hearse in front of his apartment.
Holly Black
You are the best kind of killer, Cassel Sharpe, the kind that never has blood on his hands. The kind that never has to sicken at the sight of what he's done, or come to like it too much.
Holly Black
The easiest lies to tell are the ones you want to be true.
Holly Black
Poisonous jealousy thrummed through my veins.
Holly Black
I don't lie, I lied.
Holly Black
The first boy I fell in love with didn't know I loved him, but he managed to break my heart anyway.
Holly Black
You can break a thing, but you cannot always guide it afterward into the shape you want.
Holly Black
She looks honestly upset, but then, I’ve learned that I can’t read her. The problem with a really excellent liar is that you have to just assume they’re always lying.
