More quotes by Jennifer Donnelly
The King walks. He nods. His glance is like God's touch - under it all things spring to life.

A sound that goes through you, through flesh and bone, and reorders the very beat of your heart.

There was a basket at her feet. She reached into it and lifted out the head of a young woman, a marquise. She wore Bourbon white to her death, but wears the tricolor now - white cheeks, blue lips, red dripping from her neck. Long live the revolution.
