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.

Holly Black
Once, she made a boy come out of his house and kiss her under the streetlight. It was her first kiss. She thinks it was probably his, too. She never told him and she never, ever will.
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
If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, then surely you should be friend to my friend.
Holly Black
Ruthless. That’s my girl.
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
He was as honest as any criminal can hope to be.
Holly Black
She wears trouble like a crown. If she ever falls in love, she’ll fall like a comet, burning the sky as she goes.
Holly Black
