Quote by Megan Whalen Turner

“Costis flinched and looked away from this compensation to the king's handicap, only to find himself looking into the king's face instead. Eugenides matched Costis look for look, his expression grave, his eyes like pools of darkness deeper than Costis could penetrate. For a moment Costis could see, not so much what was hidden but that there were things hidden that the king did not choose to reveal. Things that were not for Costis to see. There was no understanding him, but Costis knew he would march into hell for this fathomless king.”

“They wanted him to come home. He would have servants. A luxurious place to lay his head. Money! He would have all the money he could possibly spend, and more. So, why did it suddenly feel as if he'd eaten too many biscuits at the café? Perhaps because, as easily as he could think of all he would gain by returning home, it was just as easy to consider all he would lose. Like the friends he'd made here in America. Like the satisfaction he experienced after an honest day's work, the fulfillment that came only with knowing he was earning his own way. Like the chance to get to know Tiana better.”

“Yes," Naveen said. "Yes?" Hope surged through her. "You'll do it?" "Of course I will, Tiana." There was something about the way he said her name---the way it rolled off his tongue in that lyrical way he spoke. If she didn't know any better, Tiana would have thought the Shadow Man had taken away her ability to speak. She was transfixed by the subtle hint of longing in Naveen's hazel-colored eyes. The butterflies returned. But Tiana didn't try to suppress them; she didn't want to. Because this flutter was filled with excitement and yearning and all those feelings she'd tried so hard to ignore this past year when it came to Naveen. For one brief moment, Tiana allowed herself to just feel. "Thank you," she finally answered, her voice once again catching in her throat. "Anything for you," he said.”

“There is nothing that I would not do for you." She regarded him with a devilish grin. "I'm gonna remind you of that when I make you wash dishes at the new restaurant." Naveen frowned. "Did I say there was nothing I wouldn't do?" "That's right," Tiana said. "And it's too late to take it back." Then she claimed his lips in a sweet, tender kiss. "I can't wait to see that new restaurant in action. Your palace," Naveen said when they broke apart. Tiana grinned slowly. "Tiana's Palace---I like the sound of that.”
