BOOK STARTERS VOL.26 ( GRACELING ) ( KRISTIN CASHORE ) ( PART I )
❛ I’m very pleased you’ve come with me. ❜
❛ If there’s anyone I wish to stun at dinner, I’ll hit them in the face. ❜
❛ When a monster stops behaving like a monster, does it stop being a monster? Does it become something else? ❜
❛ How absurd it is that the weakest and most vulnerable of people - girls, women - go unarmed and are taught nothing of fighting, while the strong are trained to the highest reaches of their skill. ❜
❛ What are you grinning at? ❜
❛ Is the ceiling about to cave in on my head or something? You look like we’re both on the verge of an enormous joke. ❜
❛ Only you would consider the collapse of the ceiling a good joke. ❜
❛ I’m afraid to tell you what I wish for, for fear you’ll… oh, I don’t know, throw me into the fire. ❜
❛ You’re more dear to my heart than I ever knew anyone could be. ❜
❛ I’ll teach you how to defend yourself, how to maim a man. ❜
❛ Wonderful — It’s quite boring really, the way you beat me to death with your hands and feet. It’ll be refreshing to have you come at me with a knife. ❜
❛ Forgive me, I was only trying to get your attention. ❜
❛ I suppose it never occurs to you to start small. If I told you my roof needed rebuilding, you’d start by knocking down the house. ❜
❛ Almost as beautiful as you are conceited. ❜
❛ You saved my life. I’m going to name my firstborn child after you. ❜
❛ I’ve heard you can kill a man with the nail of your smallest finger. ❜
❛ Does it make it easier? To have beautiful eyes? Does it lighten the burden of your Grace, to know you have beautiful eyes? ❜
❛ It seems better to me for a child to have these skills and never use them, than not have them and one day need them. ❜
❛ I wouldn’t marry him to save my life. Not even to save yours. ❜
❛ I know you’re teasing me. And you should know I’m not easily humiliated. ❜
❛ I should have stuck to my lies. It was the truth that almost had me killed, after all. ❜
❛ When you’re a monster, you are thanked and praised for not behaving like a monster. ❜
❛ I would like to restrain from cruelty and receive no admiration for it. ❜
❛ Mercy is more frightening than murder, because it is harder. ❜
❛ Your brand of comfort bears some similarity to your tactical offence. ❜
❛ The only way for you to keep your mind straight is to run from those who would confuse you. ❜
❛ How long will you be? I’d like to show you a couple of my new discoveries. ❜
❛ I thought it was supposed to be impossible to sneak up on you. Eyes of a hawk and ears of a wolf and all. ❜
❛ I’ll protect you. You’ll be safe with me. ❜
❛ Let me explain what will happen the instant one of your men makes a move toward me. I’ll get out of the room alive, but most of the rest of you will be dead. ❜
❛ I didn’t know you were capable of such bad temper. ❜
❛ You’re afraid of your own anger. ❜
❛ What have you done to yourself? Your hair is positively blue. ❜
❛ There’s no shame in crawling when one can’t walk. ❜
❛ Don’t be ashamed. Your sadness is dear to me. ❜
❛ Don’t be frightened. I won’t die. I won’t die, and we’ll meet again. ❜
❛ The colour of sunrise? It’s the colour of blood. I am not going to wear a red dress. ❜
❛ Everyone has some kind of power to hurt people. ❜
❛ Please, at least talk to me. ❜
❛ And how I feel? Doesn’t it matter? ❜
❛ I can’t know your feelings if you don’t know them yourself. ❜
❛ I will have a life, even though I carry this burden. ❜
❛ If I’d been trying to kill him, he’d be dead. ❜
❛ I told you before, I won’t fight when you’re angry. I won’t solve a disagreement between us with blows. ❜
❛ We’re too dangerous to each other. ❜
