'You won't be killing anyone, you sad little emo git.'
'You've stood in the way of our love for long enough.'

'Hurtful things said in the heat of the moment. We're not going to hold it against you, Bison. We're all friends here.'

"Our love is written in the stars."

"You accused me of murder. Do you make a habit of bringing schoolgirls into an interview room with murder suspects?'

"The next time? Oh, my dear Eliza, you're not going to carry on with this, are you? The Faceless Ones had their chance. They returned and they were sent away again. It's time to move on. Time to take up another hobby, like crocheting, or serial killing." ~China Sorrows on the Church of the Faceless, Death Bringer

"Other stories tell how I eat innocent newborns, how I'm ten feet tall, how I breathe fire and have great dragon wings. None of these are wholly accurate.

What's yours?" ~SOMEONE, Kingdom of the Wicked

"Mostly we've had to found ways to amuse ourselves."
"Really?" Valkyrie asked. "Like what?"

I like these quotes from Sara in Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess, which sounds girly but is an amazing novel.

"It is a story. Everything's a story. You are a story - I am a story."

"When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in - that's stronger."

I just love this description ok Akiva from Daughter of Smoke and Bone

Certainly, they couldn't see him as he truly was. His fiery wings were glamoured invisible, and he should have been able to pass as human, but he wasn't quite pulling it off. What people saw was a tall young man, beautiful - truly, breath-stealingly beautiful, in a way one rarely beholds in real life - who moved among them with predatory grace, seeming no more mindful of them than if they were statuary in a garden of gods. On his back a pair of crossed swords were sheathed, and his sleeves were pushed up over forearms tanned and corded with muscle. His hands were a curiosity, etched both white with scars and black with the ink of tattoos - simple repeating black lines hatched across the tops of his fingers.
His dark hair was cropped close to his skull, with a hairline that dipped into a widow's peak. His golden skin was bronzed darker across the planes of his face - high ridges of cheekbones, brow, bridge of the nose - as if he lived his life in drenching rich honey light.
Beautiful as he was, he was forbidding. It was difficult to imagine him breaking into a smile - which indeed Akiva hadn't done in many years, and couldn't imagine doing ever again.
But all this was just a fleeting impression. What people fixed on, stopping to watch him pass, were his eyes.
They were amber like a tiger's, and like a tiger's they were rimmed in black - the black of both heavy lashes and of kohl, which focused the gold of his irises like beams of light. They were pure and luminous, mesmerizing and achingly beautiful, but something was wrong, was missing. Humanity, perhaps, that quality of benevolence that humans have, without irony, named after themselves. When coming around a corner, an old woman found herself in his path, the full force of his gaze fell on her and she gasped.
There was live fire in his eyes. She was sure he would set her alight.
-Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, Chapter 9: The Devil's Doorways

I think Akiva is supposed to be an angel, the other one who was mentioned earlier was called an angel by a woman and the narration says "She was not far wrong."

THANK YOU! I was waiting for someone else to reply so I could post again! Btw that's a cool description. And this thread is a great idea.

I like a lot of quotes from songs. For example, the one in my siggy (I'm hoping some will find it inspirational. You never know). And also these are a few more.

• "If they hurt you, they hurt me too." - All About Us, t.A.T.u.
• "Any way the wind blows." - Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen
• "The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, right to the top. Don't look back." - It's Time, Imagine Dragons
• "It's not too late. It's never too late." - Never Too Late, Three Days Grace

[Skyblade]

Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.


It was just one of those quotes I fell in love with instantly.
