The Cruel Prince
Holly Black
Top 10 Best Quotes
“If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse.”
“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop.”
“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment. “No” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.” "I can't.”
“If you hurt me, I wouldn't cry. I would hurt you back.”
“What could I become if I stopped worrying about death, about pain, about anything? If I stopped trying to belong? Instead of being afraid, I could become something to fear.”
“So I am to sit here and feed you information,” Cardan says, leaning against a hickory tree. “And you’re to go charm royalty? That seems entirely backward.” I fix him with a look. “I can be charming. I charmed you, didn’t I?” He rolls his eyes. “Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.”
“I am going to keep on defying you. I am going to shame you with my defiance. You remind me that I am a mere mortal and you are a prince of Faerie. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this is the least of what I can do.”
“I have lied and I have betrayed and I have triumphed. If only there was someone to congratulate me.”
“Instead of being afraid, I could become something to fear.”
“Let's have a toast. To the incompetence of our enemies.”
