More quotes by Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

"Yearning for love made her feel like a cat that was always twining around ankles, meowing Pet me, pet me, look at me, love me."
"Love is a luxury.""No. Love is an element."An element. Like air to breathe, earth to stand on."
"I'm afraid they're in love,"he said, concerned. "They don't want to leave you."He lifted one hand from her waist to gently brush a pair from her neck, where their wings fanned against her jaw. Melancholy, he said, "I know just how they feel."
"And they were quiet but their blood and nerves and butterflies were not—they were rampantly alive, rushing and thrumming in a wild and perfect melody, matched note for note."
"I was going to say the beginning is the good part, when it's all sparks and sparkles, before they are inevitably unmasked as assholes."
