"The most wonderful and the strongest things in the world, you know, are just the things which no one can see."

"So I find words I never thought to speakIn streets I never thought I should revisitWhen I left my body on a distant shore."

"Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy."

"Christians. They’re determined to rid the land of any who worship the Horned One. Murdering all the druids, burning the temples, sometimes whole villages, and knocking over the standing stones.” The Lady’s face hardened. “This god of peace and love certainly likes to bathe the land in blood."

"Why is he scared of the dark?"I meant the words for a joke, but Shade nodded seriously. "Like all monsters. Because it reminds him of what he truly is"."

"Who are you?Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?I have. I am fucking crazy.But I am free."

"When I was your age, television was called books."

"i'm your enemy, meghan. never forget that. if Mab tells me to kill you in front of the entire court, it's my duty to obey."

"The fact that you can't see how much you're worth makes you worth so much more."She opened her mouth once, her brow bunched, but nothing came out. She didn't know the words to ask. I continued. "A diamond doesn't know how much it's worth; it's just beautiful because it exists."

"Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back."

"What in the blue star-blazes did you see in Jason?"he asked, still forcefully but with his frustration and jealousy under better control."For one thing, Djetth, he wasn't trying to kill me!"("Marsh", heroine of Insufficient Mating Material)"

"When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it."

"May my heart be kind, my mind fierce, and my spirit brave."

"Vane’s lips tightened to suppress a smile. “Why so hostile, love?”“You whacked me on the head with a ball!”“You deserved it."

"Do you think we can be friends?” I asked.He stared up at the ceiling. “Probably not, but we can pretend."

"Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it."

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

"Happiness. It was the place where passion, with all its dazzle and drumbeat, met something softer: homecoming and safety and pure sunbeam comfort. It was all those things, intertwined with the heat and the thrill, and it was as bright within her as a swallowed star."

"Vacation, I go there in my mind. Especially when I’m at work, getting paid for it."

"There are no happy endings... There are no endings, happy or otherwise. We all have our own stories which are just part of the one Story that binds both this world and Faerie. Sometimes we step into each others stories - perhaps just for a few minutes, perhaps for years - and then we step out of them again. But all the while, the Story just goes on."
