Throne of Glass

***SPOLIERS! QUOTES!***

“Some days, she wondered if they would have been better off dying on the butchering blocks instead. And if she might have been better off dying that night she’d been betrayed and captured, too.”

“ ‘You knew it was suicide.’ ‘Yes.’ “

“ ‘You think like every fool she’s murdered. She owes allegiance to none but herself, and won’t balk at putting a knife through your heart.’ ”

“Libraries were full of ideas - perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”

“She’d shut Cain up - in an unmarked grave for all eternity.”

“ ‘You’ll be sweating when I skin you alive and squish your eyeballs beneath my feet.’ ‘That’s the spirit.’ “

“They’d stop their laughing if they knew her true name, if they knew that this ‘jewel thief’ could skin them alive.”

“ ‘You’ve got impressive aim.’ ‘For a girl?’ ‘No. For anyone.’ “

“The arrow hit the absolute centre, obliterating the black dot. They stopped laughing.”

“ ‘I can survive well enough on my own - if given proper reading material.’ “

“While she might be used to the darkness, she wasn’t foolish enough to trust it.”

“She’d master this ridiculous game or she’d turn the table into firewood. And use it to burn Cain alive.”

“ ‘Give me real men to fight. Then maybe I’ll bother trying.’ “

“ ‘You’re going to hit the left wall.’ ‘I’m going to hit you in the head if you don’t shut up.’ “

“ ‘I like music because when I hear it, I lose myself within myself, if that makes sense. I become empty and full all at once, and I can feel the whole earth roiling around me, When I play, for once, I’m not destroying, I’m creating.’ “

“ ‘What’s the point in having a mind if you don’t use it to make judgements?’ ‘What’s the point in having a heart if you don’t use it to spare others from the harsh judgments of your mind?’ “

“ ‘I sense much worry in you and I hear much that you do not say. You never voice any of your troubles, though your eyes betray them. We’re friends. When you need me, I’ll be there.’ “

“ ‘You look like a demon. Just don’t open your mouth and no one will notice.’ ‘You and I both know that’s not possible.’ “

“This would be her first ball where she wasn’t there to kill someone.”

“ ‘We all bear scars, Dorian. Mine just happen to be more visible than most.’ “

“ ‘You bear many names, and so I shall name you as well. I name you Elentiya. I give you this name to use with honour, to use when other names grow too heavy. I name you Elentiya, “Spirit That Could Not Be Broken”.’ “

“Would it be more honourable to fall in the duel than to return to Endovier? Or would it be more honourable to die than to become the King’s Champion? Who would he have her kill?”

“For a heartbeat, she saw the king with stark clarity. He was just a man - a man with too much power. And in that one heartbeat, she didn’t fear him. I will not be afraid.”

“ ‘No matter what happens, I want to thank you.’ ‘For what?’ ‘For making my freedom mean something.’ “

“This wasn’t a duel - it was an execution. And no one was doing anything to stop it. They’d drugged her. It wasn’t fair.”

“She was waiting for him. Waiting for him to - Kill her.”

“Light and darkness. Life and death. Where do I fit in?”

“ ‘I’m all right. The bandage is just to elicit sympathy now.’ ”

“ ‘I’m saying that in four years, I’m going to be free, and I’ve never been free in my entire life. And I want to know what that feels like.’ “

“ ‘You could be different. You could be great. Greater than me - than any of us. You could rattle the stars. You could do anything, if you only dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.’ “

“ ‘Tell me tomorrow.’ “

we were liars

***MAJOR SPOLIERS! QUOTES!***

“One day I looked at Gat, lying in the Clairmont hammock with a book, and he seemed, well, like he was mine. Like he was my particular person.”

“ ‘When we say Shut up, Gat, that isn’t what we mean at all.’ ‘No?’ ‘What we mean is, we love you. You remind us that we’re selfish bastards. You’re not one of us, that way.’ ”

“I’ll be fine, they tell me. I won’t die. It’ll just hurt a lot.”

“She’s got power - because she’s got money.”

“I tell Mummy I don’t need to see the world. I need to see family. I miss Grandad.”

“Now, let me ask you this. Who killed the girls? The dragon? Or their father?”

“ ‘There’s nothing in our whole house that says he ever lived with us, except me. Why are you allowed to erase my father and I’m not allowed to-’ ‘Erase yourself?’ “

“ ‘I can’t get ugly with you this early, I haven’t had my pretentious tea yet.’ ”

“He’s erased his old life by spending money on a replacement one.”

“ ‘Drugs are not your friend and also people should be your friend.’ ”

“ ‘Never eat anything bigger than your ass.’ ”

“ ‘Do you still miss Gran? Because I miss her. We never talk about her.’ ‘A part of me died and it was the best part.’ “

“For Cady with everything, everything. Gat.”

“ ‘It makes it hard to be alive, some days. A lot of times I wish I were dead, I truly do, just to make the pain stop.’ “

“ ‘I lie there and wait, and remind myself over and over that it doesn’t last forever. That there will be another day and after that, another day. One of those days, I’ll get up and eat breakfast and feel okay.’ “

“ ‘He looked at you like you were the brightest planet in the galaxy.’ ”

“I will prove myself strong, when they think I am sick. I will prove myself brave, when they think I am weak.”

“We burned not a home, but a symbol. We burned a symbol to the ground.”

“ ‘ I think we’re telling you, but you can’t hear it.’ “

“ ‘See you in a better world.’ “

“You would have been a light in the dark for so many people.”

“It is good to be loved, even though it will not last.”

“The story ended a long time ago.”

“I find a Sharpie and write on my hands. Left: Be a little. Right: Kinder.”
