Top 10 Best Quotes

“I cannot return," she said, sadness weighing down each word. "I am sorry." "We need you, Isabelle," Adam said, his voice rough. "We need your clever brain and your wicked shot and your passion for helping people." "You are talking about Robin," she whispered. "No, I'm not," he said forcefully. "I'm talking about you. The girl that stood up to a camp of outlaws and challenged for her place among them. The girl who took on the most powerful man in the country and beat him. The girl who stared down a soldier of the king to protect innocent people. We've got our hands full helping the rebel barons and protecting the people of Sherwood. No one knows about Robin's death besides the Men, and we can't let anyone find out. The people need something to believe in now more then ever. We need Robin Hood to live on, even if the man himself is gone. But I'm too tall and Little's a terrible shot. Helena's the only one with a bow arm good enough to pretend to be Robin, and she won't let any of us hear the end of it. We need you." He cleared his throat. "I need you.”

“We go on not because we have to, but because we want to. We live the life we would have wanted for them.”

“My mother once said a man should measure his worth not by the women he has tamed, but by the ones he has let run free.”

“I'm going to release you now," the boy said slowly, carefully, as if speaking to a small child or a wild animal. "You're not going to scream, you're not going to make any sudden movements, and if you bite me again, I'll bite you back. Understand?”
