Quote by Harper St. George

“She stared at him, unable to believe that Christian had sold the one thing that had mean the most to him, the one thing that had started all of this. Without his love for Blythkirk, and the fire that had nearly destroyed it, he wouldn't have attempted to run away with her. "Blink if he sold Blythkirk." He blinked.”

“Je suis lâche, c'est pour ça que j'ai besoin de couper les ponts avec tous ceux qui me sont proches, de partir en un lieu totalement inconnu pour revenir ensuite. J'ai l'impression que la vie est toujours neuve comme ça, qu'il reste quelque chose à découvrir. Ca glisse, ça glisse, j'ai l'impression que ça va répondre à toutes les questions. Je me sens tellement vrai quand je m'en vais, j'ai toujours l'impression d'avoir perdu quelque chose quand je reviens. (p224)”

“On these little visual interpretations [Valentine's Day cards], no emblem is so common as the heart, — that little three-cornered exponent of all our hopes and fears, — the bestuck and bleeding heart ; it is twisted and tortured into more allegories and affectations than an opera hat. What authority we have in history or mythology for placing the head-quarters and metropolis of God Cupid in this anatomical seat rather than in any other, is not very clear ; but we have got it, and it will serve as well as any other. Else we might easily imagine, upon some other system which might have prevailed for any thing which our pathology knows to the contrary, a lover addressing his mistress, in perfect simplicity of feeling, " Madam, my liver and fortune are entirely at your disposal," or putting a delicate question, "Amanda, have you a midriff' to bestow?" But custom has settled these things, and awarded the seat of sentiment to the aforesaid triangle, while its less fortunate neighbours wait at animal and anatomical distance.”
