Quotes from Richelle Mead

Tu no fallaste, porque "fallar" implica que tú en realidad hubieses hecho algo.

Cool'," said Adrian. "'Wind.' I see what you did there, Sage. Pretty clever.

He's hot—like, the kind of hot that makes you stop walking on the street and get hit by traffic.

I was no better at reading people than I had been ten seconds ago, but in that moment, I suddenly gained a flash of understanding into the mystery that was Adrian Ivashkov. People didn't believe in him very often. They had low expectations of him, so he did as well.

It doesn't matter what it is. Start with something, and go from there. Go until you're unstoppable.

Adrian met my eyes for a long moment, saying nothing aloud yet somehow conveying a million messages.

Roza...You forgot my first lesson: Don't hesitate.

You did not just say that. I have a feeling we're on the verge of hugging and coming up with cute nicknames for each other." He was trying to look disgusted at my sentiment, but I could tell he liked being told that Lissa cared about him.

My love for Sydney burned just as strongly. Life was good.

Sydney and I love each other. That's all that matters.
