Quote

Didn’t understand love? Was she crazy? If she only knew what I’d sacrificed for Dimitri, what I’d done to be where I was now . . . all for love. She was the one who couldn’t understand. Love wasn’t a fling in a back room at a party. It was something you lived and died for.

Sage, he said. What are you wearing? I sighed and stared down at the dress. I know. It's red. Don't start. I'm tired of hearing about it. Funny, he said. I don't think I could ever get tired of looking at it.

You used your power to toss one rock at me? he exclaimed, an almost comic note of incredulity in his voice. On the contrary, I heard Dorian say pleasantly. I didn't use magic for that. I just threw it.

You're not as much of a lost cause as she was. I mean, with her, I had to overcome her deep, epic love with a Russian warlord. You and I just have to overcome hundreds of years' worth of deeply ingrained prejudice and taboo between our two races. Easy.

That was Sydney Sage, said Lissa. I thought they were all in West Virginia. Why isn't she with Rose? That, said Abe darkly, is an excellent question.

You see something you like? I asked, echoing something I'd said to him ling ago, when he'd caught me in a compromising position at school. Lots, he said. -Rose (Roza) to Dimitri

What? I asked uneasily. Why are you looking at me like that? He shook his head, the smile rueful now. Because sometimes, a person can get so caught up in the details that they miss the whole. It's not just the dress or the hair. It's YOU. You're beautiful. So beautiful, it hurts me.
