I left town hoping I’d never come back here, but here I am. I guess I’m sick of fighting it. I’m willing to take the chance of burning up the question is, are you?”

“What do you want from me?'
'Want? I want you to say thank you, first of all. Then I want you to take off that hideous dress. You look...' His mouth cut into a cruel line. 'You look exactly like the doe-eyed damsel he and that simpering priestess want you to be.'
'You don't know anything about me. Or us.'
Rhys gave a knowing smile. 'Does Tamlin? Does he ever ask you why you hurl your guts up every night, or why you can't go into certain rooms or see certain colours?'
I froze. He might as well have stripped me naked. 'Get the hell out of my head.'
Tamlin had horrors of his own to endure, to face down.
'Likewise.' He stalked a few steps away. 'You think I enjoy being awoken every night by visions of you puking? You send everything right down that bond, and I don't appreciate having a front-row seat when I'm trying to sleep.'
'Prick.'
Another chuckle. But I wouldn't ask him what he meant- about the bond between us. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of looking curious.”

“What do you want?' I hissed. 'An apology? For me to crawl back into your bed and play nice, little wife?'
'Why should I want spoiled goods returned to me?'
My cheeks heated.
Tamlin growled, 'The moment you let him fuck you like an-'
One heartbeat, the poisoned words were spewing from his mouth- where fangs lengthened.
Then they stopped.
Tamlin's mouth simply stopped emitting sounds. He shut his mouth, opened it- tried again.
No sound, not even a snarl, came out.
There was no smile on Rhysand's face, not a glint of irreverent amusement as he rested his head against the back of his chair. 'The gasping-fish look is a good one for you, Tamlin.”

“What do you want?”
I snarl at her. “Glory for my father, an end to the war, and food for our people.” My eyes betray me, searching Rose out, tracing the dirt smeared across her cheek…
“You’re saying the right words…” Prae whispers.
“I mean them.” I force my eyes away from Rose. “This is just some fairy magic trick, like you said.” There’s no other reason for her to haunt my thoughts like this.
“It isn’t.”

I thought a moment...'The Rangers...we began to describe one another in a few simple words: El es muy bueno para cabalgar el rio. Meaning, 'He'll do to ride the river with.' In Texan, it means, 'I'd trust him with my life.'
I scratched my head. 'I want someone to ride the river with.”

Source: Think Great: Be Great!
“What do you want in your life? What do you want in your relationships? And if you say, I'd like them to be harmonious; I'd like them to be free; I'd like not to be in a state of blame all the time or shame. If you answer like that, then I would say, look at what's unforgiven. Look at where you know you did wrong and you would like to go to that person and say - I'm sorry. Can we start over? If you want to have a happier life, I would say, practice forgiveness.”
“What do you want, MacGuffin, a duel?”
“No.” Julian held out both hands, one palm flat, the other held over it in a fist. “Rock, paper, scissors. Two out of three.”
Ty rolled his eyes and held out his fist, apparently willing to play. Julian hit his palm three times, and Ty kept time with his fist in the air. But when Julian threw a paper, Ty reached into his jacket with his other hand and pulled his gun, aiming it at Julian.
“Ty!” Zane said in exasperation from the front seat.
“Glock, paper, scissors. I win.”
“You are an ass,” Julian muttered.”

“What do you want?”
The question stunned him. He could say he wanted nothing, that he felt like nothing, that he counted the days until darkness. He
could say: Happiness beyond all worlds! A life of peace and love, entire and whole! He could say he wanted everything and nothing all at once. He thought for a moment, as the birds sang in the trees, of how often he felt like this.”

“What do you want to do with your life, then?” is often the question I'm asked.

Mainly because I don't see myself living long enough for that to make much of a difference.”

Nesta and Azriel swapped glances, and the male answered a bit sheepishly, "The music you played at your pleasure halls."
Bryce laughed, "Are you a club rat, Azriel?"
He glowered at her, earning a smirk from Nesta, but Bryce played one of her dance tunes - a zippy blend of thumping bass and saxophones. And as the three of them walked into the endless dark, she could have sworn she caught Azriel nodding along to the beat.”

“What do you want to know?'
'I found a piece of paper with my name on it,' I say. 'Over and over, just my name.'
He flinches a little but doesn't say anything.
'Well?' I prompt.
'That's not a question,' he groans, as though exasperated. 'Ask me a proper question, and I'll give you an answer.'
'You're terrible at this whole "telling me whatever I want to know" thing.' My hand goes to the crossbow, but I don't pick it up.
He sighs. 'Just ask me something. Ask about my tail. Don't you want to see it?' He raises his brows.
I have seen his tail, but I am not going to give him the satisfaction of telling him that. 'You want me to ask you something? Fine. When did Taryn start whatever it is she has with Locke?'
He laughs with delight. This appears to be a discussion he isn't interested in avoiding. Typical. 'Oh, I wondered when you would ask about that. It was some months ago. He told us all about it- throwing stones at her window, leaving her notes to meet him in the woods, wooing her by moonlight. He swore us to silence, made it all seem like a lark. I think, in the beginning, he did it to make Nicasia jealous. But later...'
'How did he know it was her room?' I ask, frowning.
That makes his smile grow. 'Maybe he didn't. Maybe either of you would have done as his first mortal conquest. I believe his goal is to have both of you in the end.'
I don't like this. 'What about you?'
He gives me a quick, odd look. 'Locke hasn't gotten around to seducing me yet, if that's what you're asking. I suppose I should be insulted.”
