“[La paura che nasce dal desiderio] scuote terribilmente ma non causa profonde ferite. Tormenta la nostra anima ma al tempo stesso la alimenta, la rinvigorisce. E' l'azione di una forza misteriosa che conferisce al cuore umano uno stato di passività e gli dona la capacità di elevarsi, per poterlo trascinare in un luogo segreto designato dagli Dei.”

“I want him. Not the way she wanted the others. She didn't want him to use---as a shield between her and the things she was running from. To feel normal. To soothe that lonely ache. She wanted him. His sharp edges and surprising tenderness and quiet strength. She wanted him spooning homemade soup into her mouth in his cozy, tidy house that smelled like bread. She wanted him discussing poetry in the dark with her grandfather. She wanted that fervent, desperate kiss in the palace hall. She wanted Hawthorne Fell. The Wood King's henchman. Not exactly boyfriend material, but still. He called to her the way the forest did. Called to something deep and forgotten. Something that longed to come alive again.”

“Seduction is manipulation, manipulation is half of argument, and therefore many of us shy from it. But seduction offers more than just consensual sex. It can bring you consensus. Even Aristotle, that logical old soul, believed in the curative powers of seduction. Logic alone will rarely get people to do anything. They have to desire the act. You may not like seduction’s manipulative aspects; still, it beats fighting, which is what we usually mistake for an argument.”

“...and still Angus drank her in---not ravenously, like the only thing that mattered was clawing off her clothes and devouring her, though the pang of desire to make love to her was always there; no, Angus looked at Jean-Louise like a jewel, like a polished, flawless work of art, fascinating and complicated and beautiful.”

“A warm quiet, a gentle quiet; something soft and friendly the might have shared if Angus had gotten over her, or if they had gotten married, but couldn't be sustained the way things were between them now. The comfortable feeling between them burned off like mist with each longing glance Angus took at her, wanting more the way men always wanted more---even, or perhaps especially, men who grew up poor. Angus had spent his whole life wanting, and maybe that's why he kept on wanting Jean-Louise; as a boy he'd never known a full stomach, and as a man he couldn't fee satisfation.”
