Quote by Sarah J. Maas

“You know, Eris,' he said, a hand wrapping around the doorknob. 'I think you might be a decent male, deep down, trapped in a terrible situation.' He looked over his shoulder and found Eris's gaze blazing again. But only pity stirred in his chest, pity for a male who had been born into riches, but had been destitute in every way that truly mattered. In every way that Cassian had been blessed- blessings that were now overflowing. So Cassian said, 'I grew up surrounded by monsters. I've spent my existence fighting then. And I see you, Eris. You're not one of them. Not even close. I think you might even be a good male.' Cassian opened the door, turning from Eris's curled lip. 'You're just too much of a coward to act like one.”

“Eris looked toward the hills, beyond the orchard, green and gold and glowing in the sunlight. 'They say a beast prowls these lands now. A beast with keen green eyes and golden fur. Some people think the beast has forgotten his other shape, so long has he spent in his monstrous form. And though he roams these lands, he does not see or care for the neglect he passes, the lawlessness, the vulnerability. Even his manor has fallen into disrepair, half-eaten by thorns, though rumours fly that he himself destroyed it.' 'Enough with the double-talk,' Cassian said. 'Tamlin's staying in his beast form and is finally getting the punishment he deserves. So what?”

“Eris said to Nesta with a smirk, 'You're a pretty little treat. I'd be happy to play any manner of game with you, Nesta Archeron.' Cassian's fingers tightened on her back. Eris seemed to sense that, too. Did Cassian have any idea of the things he left vulnerable for people like Eris to strike at? He lived too honestly, too boldly, to notice or care. She couldn't help but admire it. 'When you get tired of the animal,' Eris said to her, jerking his chin toward Cassian, 'come find me. I'll show you how a future High Lord plays.”

“Eris's amber eyes studied hers. 'Trust Rhysand to keep you hidden away.' Right. She was to flatter him, keep him on their side. 'I just saw you the other week.' Eris chuckled. 'And as riveting as it was to see you send Tamlin scrambling off with his tail between his legs, I didn't see this side of you. The time since the war has changed you.' She didn't smile, but she met his stare directly as she said, 'For the better, I hope.' 'Certainly for the more interesting. It seems you came to play the game tonight after all,' Eris spun her, and when she returned to him, he murmured in her ear, 'Don't believe the lies they tell you about me.' She pulled back just enough to meet his gaze, 'Oh?' Eris nodded to where Mor watched them from beside Feyre and Rhys, his face neutral and aloof. 'She knows the truth but has never revealed it.' 'Why?' 'Because she is afraid of it.' 'You don't win yourself any favours with your behaviour.' 'Don't I? Do I not ally myself with this court under constant threat of being discovered and killed by my father? Do I not offer aid whenever Rhysand wishes?' He spun her again. 'They believe a version of events that is easier to swallow. I always thought Rhysand wiser than that, but he tends to be blind where those he loves are concerned.' Nesta's mouth twitched to one side. 'And you? Who do you love?' His smile sharpened. 'Are you inquiring about my eligibility?' 'I'm merely saying it's hard to find a good dance partner these days.' Eris laughed, the sound like silk over her skin. She shivered. 'Indeed it is. Especially one who can both dance and tear the King of Hybern's head from his shoulders.' She let him see a bit of that person- see the savage rage and silver fire he'd witnessed before Tamlin. Then she blinked and it was gone. Eris's face tightened, and not from fear. He twirled her again, the waltz already coming to a close. He whispered in her ear, 'They say your sister Elain is the beauty, but you outshine her tonight.' His hand stroked down the bare skin of her back, and she arched slightly into his touch.”

“Ze všeho nejvíce Gausse rozčilovaly stále nové a nové pokusy různých geometrů dokázat pátý postulát. Nyní, když znal nový geometrický svět, když do něj bezpečně nahlížel, odhaloval v těchto domnělých důkazech chybu vždy hned při prvním pohledu. Jasně viděl, jak geometři tápají v tmách, jak plýtvají silami na těchto beznadějných pokusech - a pomoci jim nemohl; nesměl.”

“Wilhelmina e Emilienne, posteriormente, acrescentaram bolos de casamento ao repertório de doces depois que o querido professor do ensino médio, Ignatius Lux, casou-se com Estelle Margolis em uma pequena cerimônia na igreja luterana. A comemoração terminou com um bolo de quatro andares assado por Emilienne especialmente para a ocasião. Noivo e noiva compartilharam sorrisos felizes, mas era do bolo que os convidados se lembravam - o recheio de creme de baunilha, a cobertura de creme de manteiga, o leve gosto de framboesas que certamente haviam sido acrescentadas à massa. Ninguém levou para casa pedaços de bolo para colocar debaixo do travesseiro na esperança de sonhar com o futuro cônjuge; em vez disso, os convidados de Ignatius Lux e Estelle Margolis comeram-no todo e, depois, tiveram que sonhar que o estavam comendo novamente. Após essa festa de casamento, as solteiras acordavam à noite com lágrimas nos olhos, não porque estavam sozinhas, mas porque não havia mais bolo de casamento. Desnecessário dizer que o bolo, mais tarde, tornou-se um dos itens mais populares da padaria, encomendado em todo evento, grande ou pequeno.”

“É incrível, mas às vezes a gente não se dá conta de como o tempo passa rápido. Num instante eu era a criança viada mais linda do Brasil, com franjinha, pele perfeita e bochechas rechonchudas, e no outro não passava de um ex-espinhento jovem universitário, parcialmente barbado, pronto pra passar a noite enchendo a cara e, quem sabe, de quebra ainda abalar umas bocas.”
