I’ll bet Ryan Lilly drinks coffee like a flower—a lily. I drink coffee more like two roses and a nose walk into a bar. I would tell you what the bartender said, but to be...

Mother Atkinson thought that every one should have a trade, or something to make a living out of , for rich people may grow poor, you know, and poor people have to work…. so when...

Other people spoke, and I tried to keep up with the translations. All the stories were about Dimitri’s kindness and strength of character. Even when not out battling the undead, Dimitri had always been there...

Sí, pero nosotros estamos vivos, Rose. No podemos dejar de vivir porque otras personas estén muertas

Wild and disrespectful? Who the hell are you anyway? Outsourced help?

My captivity with Dimitri. The way his mouth—so, so warm, despite his cold skin—had kissed mine. The feel of his fangs pressing into my neck and the sweet bliss that followed…He looked exactly the same...

Love is beyond space and time. It reaches out to the heart of the person that you are missing. Love binds two souls and not two bodies.

Once, when Tom was over here, to tease Rose, I asked him, “Before she was born, can you remember? Were things just the same as they are these days? Did it still rain and get...

How are you?””Perfectly fine,” he said.”Are your ribs broken?””Probably not. Cracked at most. We fought very carefully.””Did this settle anything?””It made me feel better,” he said, sitting up. “Did you see me kick him in...

The Roses of Saadi I wanted you to have roses this morn, And stuffed a lot of them in my snug dress, In my tight belt I could not all shoehorn. The knots gave way,...

This isn’t a Christmas special! This is my life. In the real world, miracles and goodness just don’t happen.

Rose? Is that you?” I peered behind him. Lissa. “What are you doing here?””What are you doing here?” She asked”Ladies, ladies” he said teasingly. “No need to fight over me.”I glared. “We’re not.

I know,” she said, guessing my thoughts. “I know exactly how you feel.””Does it get easier?” I asked. Unlike Sydney, Olena had an answer.”Yes. But you’ll never be the same.

In the end I sort of though we created a companion who was so alive and dynamic and so wedded to the doctor that you’d need a whole universe to contain her in. The only...

There are no roses in my yard: what wind brought you?But I suddenly come from far away. I was sick for a moment.No wind whatsoever brought you now.Now you’re here.What you were isn’t you, or...

I have a tongue like a rose petal, and when I say I love you, it has the fragrance of truth. My words are my garden, and I’m planting our future.

I realize all guys have thorns. But I am a rose, and she chose a cactus over me. I wish her luck with her dry, desert-like existence with him.

The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.

Sometimes talking to you is like talking to myself: pretty damned annoying.

Gaining superpowers doesn’t mean you know how to use them.

I want you to break the spell. Finish it off.””What do you mean?””The spell you did on me and Dimitri.””That spell is done. It burned itself out.”I shook my head. “No. I keep thinking about...

Lirralei was a girl of storm–winds and thorns, the musk of the wild rose and the flight of the falcon.

Love is like a rose. So beautiful to look at, yet so painful to touch.

Pete Rose’s last name is so sweet, he can’t be a cheater. But a cheat by any other name would smell just as sweet.

I have brought you the rose of love, and you have crowned me, in these dark hours, with their thorns.

Love fades. Mine has.

Dimitri: “Why did you come here?”Rose: “Because you hit me on the head and dragged me here.

You’ll be eighteen soon, but even so…” He sighed. “When this comes out, a lot of people aren’t going to be happy.””Yeah, well, they can deal.” Rumors and gossip I could handle.”I also have a...

That memory made a lump form in my throat as I remembered his face, serious and gorgeous, those brown eyes intense and passionate as he spoke up for me and convinced the others of my...

He will never let her go. Never. she belongs to him..Forever.

I’m an all-the-water-I-can-drink-in-a-flower-vase kind of lover. Roses and batteries sold separately.

I mean to have you, Rose, you and all of your thorns. I’m a disagreeable and stubborn bastard, but I’m not a fool. You didn’t really expect me to pass you up, did you?

Lily slumped, putting her shaking hands on his shoulders. “But you will, won’t you?” Pansy’s voice broke into a sob. “Yes, Pan,” Galen said quietly. “I don’t like that,” Pansy said. Galen stood and put...

He’d barely seen me coming, and despite the horribleness of what I’d just done, I kind of wished one of my instructors had been there to grade me on such an awesome performance.

She probably gave up and started playing Minesweeper.”[…]We reached the cafe and found Sydney bent over her laptop, with a barely eaten Danish and what was probably her fourth cup of coffee. We slid into...

A pale, slightly luminescent form materialized in front of us. Mason. He looked the same as ever-or did he? The usual sadness was there, but I could see something else, something else I couldn’t quite...

They all knew about me and Dimitri,” I said, wondering if I’d be saying any of this sober. “But I never told them we were together.” “You didn’t have to. It’s written all over your face.””They...

what was a rose but the living proof of desire, the single best evidence of human longing and earthly devotion. but desire could be twisted,after all, and Jealousy was the name of the rose that...

I am one pair of roses away from the grave,” I told the midget with the twelve-inch erection. It wasn’t his—he was just holding it for a friend (that impressive penis belonged to a much...

I had a dream about you. Of all the flowers I’ve ever loved, you were the one who looked most like a woman. The others didn’t look like men, unless you count my Uncle Butch,...

How pale the Princess is! Never have I seen her so pale. She is like the shadow of a white rose in a mirror of silver.

This college would probably have the same problem as the last one did.”I frowned, “What’s that?””Homework.

How come all the harmless people were so lame? Maybe that was the definition of safe.

It was the same Dimitri from long ago, the fierce one who was willing to risk his life for what was right. I almost wished he’d go back to being annoying, distant Dimitri, the one...

I don’t love men that love other women. I think more of myself then that.

Well, look who’s on my front porch,” he said, speaking Empire with this odd hissing accent. “A murderer and a cross-dressing pirate.”I looked down at my clothes, ripped and shredded and covered in mud and...

A rose symbolizes my love for you, because it’s dying.

At the end; highest happiness will be, a white rose, in the garden of your eternal dreams.

I’d said it before and meant it: Alive or undead, the love of my life was a badass.

Plus, you’re the last Dragomir. You’re always going to be in the spotlight. Who’s she? Just another Ivashkov. There are tons of them.”Probably because all the guys like Adrian and have all sorts of illegitimate...
