“I unfolded the note, and it took me a few seconds to decipher Adrian’s writing. If he did write me a dating proposal, I really hoped he would type it.”

“ʺThings are going to get worse before they get better, arenʹt they?ʺ”

“VAMPIRE ACADEMY:

Rose- See something you like?
Dimitri- Get dressed.

LAST SACRIFICE:

Rose- See something you like?
Dimitri- Lots”

“Look, Sage. I don't know much about chemistry or computer hacking or photosynthery, but this is something I've got a lot of experience with." I think he mean photosynthesis, but I didn't correct him. "Use my knowledge. Don't let it go to waste.”

“Since… since when?" I finally managed to ask.
"Since… forever." His tone implied the answer was obvious.”

“Well, she was talking to me. That's enough to make anyone lose their temper. And I accused her of sleeping with my dad because he was the soundest evolutionary choice.”

“They come first.”

“I need it! I need it! It's a royal heirloom!"

"Adrian?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you. Come on, we need to go. I'll drive you home."

"No, I can't. Not until we get it. He stole it!”

“You can," he said. There was a tremulous note in his voice. "You're strong—you're so, so strong. It's why I love you.”

“Escape plan #5: Open an alpaca ranch in Texas, one that requires all blond-haired, brown-eyed, brainy girls to wear sexy cowgirl outfits.”

“Oh my God," he said. "A kind word from Rose Hathaway. I can die a happy man.”

“You’re presumptuous and arrogant and a whole lot of other things if you think I’ve changed my mind.”
“You see, that’s just it.” There he was again, moving into my space. “I think you like the ‘other things.”

“Those words, that voice, had more power over me than any phantom ever could.”

“What, are you doing? Aside from getting your sandwich cold."
"I’m making a snow angel. Don’t you know what that is?"
"Yes, I know. But why? You must be freezing."
"Not so much, actually. My face is a little, I guess.”

“I went to bed feeling melancholy, wishing I could have
poured out all my fears and insecurities to my mom. Wasn’t
that what normal mothers and daughters did?”

“Considering Adrian had once gotten bored while reading while reading a particularly long menu, I had a hard time imagining he'd read the Hugo book in any language.”

“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.”

“You know, Aunt Tasha makes jokes about how youʹd actually be a better queen than the others, except sometimes… I donʹt think sheʹs joking.”

“Abe swept in, resplendent in a gray and yellow suit that coordinated bafflingly well with Adrian's paint job.”

“Do you know where to find a party or something?”
“I’m Adrian Ivashkov,” I declared. “The parties find me.”

“Damn, you have no idea what I have been through today."

"Actually I have a pretty good idea.”

“Donʹt worry now about what you canʹt change. Rest when you can so youʹll be ready for tomorrowʹs battles”

“Sweetest baby ever,” my mother said with a sigh.
“You mean second sweetest, right?” I corrected.”

“Okay. But I'm just going to be out there - having a tea party with her cats or whatever it is she has in mind. You need me? You yell. You want to leave? We go. I'll get you out of here, no matter what.”

“Dimka, not you too.”

“Life and death were so unpredictable. So close to each other. We existed moment to moment, never knowing who would be the next to leave this world.”

“None of you appreciate me. Why is it so hard to believe that I could make a real contribution in these dark rimes?”

“Why the hell would I bring?" she exclaimed. All her anger turned at his presumption. It was a sign of her agitation that she'd sworn.
"Because," he said, face calm, "I can teach you how to stake a Strigoi."
"THE HELL YOU CAN," I said aloud to no one.”

“The love in his eyes was so powerful, I needed to look away. Seth had an amazing grasp of the English language, but there were days when that skill was nothing compared to what he told me in his looks.”
