The Ruin of a Rake
Cat Sebastian
Top 10 Best Quotes
“That was how it was when your soul was in pieces and somebody else had one of them. Only when you were together would the pieces fit into place and become whole.”
“Missing you is profoundly inconvenient, I’ll have you know. I have things to do and places to be, and all the while I’ll feel like I’ve mislaid a piece of my soul and I won’t get it back until I see you again. That can’t be normal.”
“There, now my principles are in confusion and I hate it.”
“Without the people who thought the best of him, he had forgotten how to think the best of himself.”
“Julian felt about Courtenay’s looks the way radicals thought about money: that it was deeply unfair and problematic for one person to possess such a disproportionate share.”
“Falling in love wasn’t like a bird hatching from an egg, for all both events were rather messy and fraught with vulnerability.”
“Yes, that was how it was when your soul was in pieces and somebody else had one of them.”
“Courtenay put a finger under Julian’s chin and tilted it up. “You can’t possibly mean to kiss me. I’m revolting.” Please kiss me. “You aren’t. And even if you were, you’d be other things too.” It was a gentle kiss, the sort of patient and meandering kiss Courtenay liked and Julian had never understood before. It wasn’t a prelude to fucking, it wasn’t even a prelude to a more thorough kiss. It was a conversation, without the burden of words. Please, Julian wanted to say. Let me try again. Julian’s heart felt full of something terrifying, something more dangerous than anything he had ever thought possible. And he didn’t care. He was throwing himself into an abyss he couldn’t even see, and that was fine, at least for the duration of the kiss.”
“You’re so pretty when you’re desperate.”
“Julian, who had spent the entirety of his adulthood studying the ways of the ton, still couldn't quite put his finger on what Courtenay was doing to exert this magnetic pull on their attention. . . . It had something to do with how, when he turned his his sea-green eyes on you and paid attention to what you were saying, you felt like you were at the center of the universe. He seem to genuinely like each person he spoke with.”
