How come all the harmless people were so lame? Maybe that was the definition of safe.

The incident with Dawn hadn't been one of my finer moments. I honestly hadn't expected to break any bones when I shoved her into a tree. Still, the incident had given me a dangerous reputation. The story had gained legendary status, and I liked to imagine that it was still being told around campfires late at night. Judging by the look on the girl's face, it was.
I didn't like having reasonable arguments thrown at me.
This was the kind of dress that changed the world. The kind of dress that started religions.
I had a standing agreement with god. I'd agree to believe in him, barely, so long as he let me sleep in on Sundays.
We can take her. Besides, he deserves someone who doesn't shop at Gap Kids. -Rose to Lissa on Mia and Aaron
I had no reason to get all goofy, just because the man was too good-looking for his own good.
What are you? An after school special?
I stopped. She was bleeding after all. Perfect lines crossed her wrists, not near any crucial veins, but enough to leave wet red tracks across her skin. She hadn;t hit her veins when she did this; death hadn't been her goal.
What do you mean it wasn't anything? Didn't the earth move or the planets align or something? -Rose to Lissa on sleeping with Aaron
If you try to turn me against Lissa one more time the stories are going to be about you bleeding because I'll have ripped your throat out!
Yes, Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish... we could be together. -Dimitri to Rose on their relationship
I'm really not good with impulse control.
You are so beautiful, it hurts me sometimes. -Dimitri to Rose
It's worth it. It's worth giving up the sun and magic.
You understand your responsibilities better than guardians twice your age. You'll do what you have to do to succeed.
Lissa knelt down, compassion on her face. I wasn't surprised, since she'd always had a thing for animals. She'd lectured me for days after I'd instigated the infamous hamster-and-hermit-crab fight. I'd viewed the fight as a testing of worthy opponents. She'd seen it as animal cruelty.
And sometimes, if I was really, really lucky, he'd smile at me. A real smile, too-not the dry one that accompanied the sarcasm we tossed around so often. I didn't want to admit it to anyone-not to Lissa, not even to myself-but some days, I lived for those smiles.
Love and loyalty runs deeper than blood
And then, suddenly, he was there, charging down the hallway like Death in a cowbody duster.
No. If I let myself love you, I wont throw myself in front of her. I´ll throw myself in front of you.
But I couldn't help myself, couldn't help the way I felt as I recalled the bliss and rush of a vampire's bite.
Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies.
But what I found most interesting was that Aaron had apparently found a way to pass the time without her. Beside him, holding his hand, was a Moroi girl who looked about eleven but had to be older, unless he'd become a pedophile during our absence.
Smiling, I cut across the quadrangle toward the commons. I felt better about life than I had in a very long time. We could do this, Lissa and me. We could do this together.
Don't worry, I won't bite. At least not in the way you're afraid of.
The answer came to me before I'd even finished asking myself the question. I couldn't be Mason's girlfriend because when I imagined someone holding me and whispering dirty things in my ear, he had a Russian accent.
Frantically, I fought against her, trying to mount some kind of defense, but it was like fighting Dimitri on crack.
The battle cry sort of gave you away. Try not to yell next time.
Hey Mason, wipe that drool off you face. If you're going to think about me naked, do it on your own time. -Rose to Mason
The greatest and most powerful revolutions often start very quietly, hidden in the shadows. Remember that.
