More quotes by Richelle Mead
He shrugged. The same as any other. It's a way to make people feel better about themselves. Everyone likes feeling special. Being part of an elite group is a way to do that. But you weren't part of it? No need. I already know I'm special.

And I thought the whole point of my education was that violence IS the answer.

He'd written me up a proposal of why dating him was a sound decision. It had included things like I'll give up cigarettes unless I really, really need one and I'll unleash romantic surprises every week, such as: an impromptu picnic, roses, or a trip to Paris—but not actually any of those things because now they're not surprises.
Richelle Mead
Is it true? You had a clean getaway and risked it all for me? I Swallowed. It wouldn't have been a clean getaway without you.
Richelle Mead
He froze, and for one moment, we stood locked in time. I could feel the silk of his shirt against my skin and the warmth of his body. The lingering scent of the overpriced cologne he wore floated around me. No smoke for a change. I’d always told him the cologne couldn’t be worth what he spent, but suddenly, I reconsidered. It was amazing.

I found the candles—atrocious air freshening ones that smelled like fake pine.
Richelle Mead
Why does it have to be so cut-and-dried? In your view, I either have to hate them or be in league with them. There’s a middle ground, you know. I can still be loyal to the Alchemists and on friendly terms with vampires and dhampirs.
Richelle Mead
Another power I don't have, said Lissa ruefully. I grinned. Hey, I have yet to meet any spirit user who can throw a punch like you can. That was poetry in motion, Liss. She groaned.
Richelle Mead
And than suddenly he was there, charging down the hallway like death in a cowboy duster.
Richelle Mead
Unbelievable, I said. First you wanted to hide her away to keep you alive. Now you actually want her out in the world to use her compulsion for your own psycho plans.
Richelle Mead
I find more peace with you.
Richelle Mead
That's pretty hot, he said. Punching me in the eye? Well, no. Of course not. I meant the idea of getting rough with you is hot. I'm a big fan of full-contact sports. I'm sure you are.
Richelle Mead
I crossed my arms over my chest. Are you lost, little girl? The elementary school's over on west campus. A pink flush spread over her cheeks. Don't you ever touch me again. You screw with me, I'll screw you right back. Oh man, what an opening that was.
Richelle Mead
In fact I was fairly certain there was no one in the entire world quite like Adrian Ivashkov.
Richelle Mead
It was like having a genie. I'd only get so many wishes.
Richelle Mead
I knew you were a badass, continued Adrian. But I didn't realize just how much until I saw you dropping guardians out there. Does that mean you're going to be nicer to me? I teased. I'm already nice to you, he said loftily. Do you know how badly I want a cigarette right now? But no. I manfully suffer through nicotine withdrawal—all
Richelle Mead
Wow. I hadn't thought Dimitri could be any cooler, but I was wrong. You beat up your dad. I mean, that's really horrible...what happened. But, wow. You really are a god. He blinked. What? Uh, nothing.
Richelle Mead
He smiled and tapped my nose. Two thank-yous in as many days. I don't suppose I'll get to see any, uh, special gratitude? I scoffed. Nope. You'll just have to imagine it. He gave me a half-hug and released me. Fair enough. But I have a good imagination.
Richelle Mead
You can't fool me, comrade. You want to put on a cowboy hat and keep lawless bank robbers in line.'' No time. I have enough trouble keeping you in line.
Richelle Mead
The ghost of a smile flickered across his lips. ‘You’re always the voice of reason. Just try listening to yourself once in a while.
