Top 10 Best Quotes

“When people say impossible, they usually mean improbable.”

“The less you say, the more weight your words will carry.”

“What is infinite? The universe and the greed of men.”

“Watch yourself, Nikolai,” Mal said softly. “Princes bleed just like other men.” Nikolai plucked an invisible piece of dust from his sleeve. “Yes,” he said. “They just do it in better clothes.”

“Of course not," said Sturmhond. "Anything worth doing always starts as a bad idea.”

“I took a breath. “Your highness—” “Nikolai,” he corrected. “But I’ve also been known to answer to ‘sweetheart’ or ‘handsome.”

“I've seen what you truly are," said the Darkling, "and I've never turned away. I never will. Can he say the same?”

“Why won’t you leave me alone?” I whispered one night as he hovered behind me while I tried to work at my desk. Long minutes passed. I didn’t think he would answer. I even had time to hope he might have gone, until I felt his hand on my shoulder. “Then I’d be alone, too," he said, and he stayed the whole night through, till the lamps burned down to nothing.”

“I want to kiss you,” Nikolai said. “But I won’t. Not until you’re thinking of me instead of trying to forget him.”

“Weakness is a guise. Wear it when they need to know you're human, but never when you feel it.”
