Quote by Laini Taylor

“It couldn't exactly be described as flying, what the two were doing. They were up even with the roofline, but they were barely moving - circling like cats, staring at each other with extraordinary intensity. The air fairly throbbed between them, and Kaz felt it like a punch in the gut. Then Karou attacked the guy, and he felt much better.”

“Προτιμώ να γίνω στάχτη παρά σκόνη! Προτιμώ η σπίθα μου να καεί σε μια λαμπρή φλόγα παρά να πνιγεί από την ξηρή σήψη. Προτιμώ να είμαι ένας υπέροχος μετεωρίτης, κάθε άτομό μου σε υπέροχη λάμψη, παρά ένας νυσταγμένος και μόνιμος πλανήτης. Η σωστή λειτουργία του ανθρώπου είναι να ζει, όχι να υπάρχει”

“You probably fucked a priest and now your baby's going to be a monkey. And it won't get born with a silver spoon in its mouth, it'll be wearing a little black and white collar like so-" Little Mary jumps up and begins to dance around making hooh-hooh monkey sounds and putting her fingers to her neck. She's talented. She like the dark side, the devil version of her supersmart dad, Eddy.”

“Being jealous does nothing. It turns you into a person who’s unable to feel genuine happiness, and tarnishes every accomplishment when it’s used to measure your sense of worth on a made-up scale. You hear about a friend’s promotion (in an industry that probably isn’t yours) and feel like you will never venture past your existing achievements. You hear someone from high school is getting married and assume that you never will. You discover the guy you worked retail with in 2006 has a new apartment, and you sit wherever you happen to live and actively resent the space you loved five minutes ago. And feelings like will always come up; it’s just up to you to say “fuck off.” So, while I’d like to say you should just decide not to be jealous, and that we’re all in this together so let’s remember that and be best friends, I know that isn’t realistic because jealousy is immune to reason and logic…If I feel myself slipping into a jealousy wormhole when I see someone else shining, I remember that to gauge my self-worth based on someone else’s accomplishments is a one-way ticket to bitterness.”
