More quotes by Maria V. Snyder
Valek's thoughts returned to Yelena. An icy finger of loneliness touched the emptiness inside him. She was in Sitia, where she needed to be to learn about her magical powers, but she had taken his heart with her.
Maria V. Snyder
Some Queen of the Pipes, I thought. I'd believed I was better than a mindless drone. But I was the mindless one, hiding away. Even now I referred to them as if I didn't belong.

I didn't expect a knife, though. Is it the one missing from the kitchen? Did Rand report it? I felt betrayed. Why hadn't he just asked for it back? No. It just makes sense to keep track of large kitchen knives, so when one goes missing you're not surprised when someone attacks you with it.

Maria V. Snyder
Words are easy. It's convincing the heart that's hard.
Maria V. Snyder
You should know what happens when you play with fire, Cahill. Eventually, you'll get burned.
Maria V. Snyder
I never said it would be easy. Giving up is easy.

To Yelena, our newest food taster. May you last longer than your predecessor.
Maria V. Snyder
The uniform enhanced his athletic body, and my thoughts drifted to how magnificent he would look with his uniform puddled around his feet.
Maria V. Snyder
You had me tied in knots. You saved Belen's life, and I wanted to kill and thank you all at the same time. And during those nights when we didn't know if you'd live or die, I went from being angry, to worried to frustrated to scared all within a single heartbeat. If you had die, I would have killed you.
Maria V. Snyder
Valek: You know a death sentence hasn't kept us apart before. Yelena: Is that an order Valek? Valek: No, it's a promise!
Maria V. Snyder
There is a reason for everything. You might not be able to figure it out, and time might have made us all forget it, but the reason is there all the same.
Maria V. Snyder
Many have tried to kill us. All have failed. -Valek
