“DOLMANCE — [...] let us keep our friends as long as they serve us; forget them immediately we have nothing further from them; 'tis never but selfishly one should love people; to love them for themselves is nothing but dupery;”

“Cassian halted a few feet from the maze of tables along the walkway, smiling to himself at the sight of her: head tipped toward the sun, unbound hair gleaming and rippling around her like liquid gold, her full hips curled upward, basking in the light. She never stopped appreciating the sunshine. Even five hundred years after leaving that veritable prison she'd called home and the monsters who claimed her as kin, his friend- his sister, honestly- still savoured every moment in the sun. As if the first seventeen years of her life, spent in the darkness of the Hewn City, still lurked around her like Az's shadows.”

“I’ve got to go, Esmie. But remind me to tell you when I get back. The story will curl your hair.” Esmeralda gave him a pout, both at his teasing about her hair and because he was going to leave without telling her. “You are not a nice guy, Ian.” “Ah, so you’ve uncovered my secret.” He kissed her cheek in parting. “I have never been a nice guy, Esmeralda.” Intensity burned in his winter blue eyes as he added, “And I have never been tame.” —Ian ben Kole and Esmeralda ben Claude”

“5. Thou must set the scene with tunes. Road trips aren't the only time a decent playlist is required. How we consume music has changed radically over the years. Dinner at my grandparents' house was set to silence, at my parents' the radio, and at my friends' something much more personal: a playlist put together for the occasion with songs that are meaningful to us. Supper is on hold until the right music starts to play, even if it means holding a knife and fork and slavering over the smell of dinner until the person in charge of the tunes has done their job.”
