Romance

"No, really,” she said. “We get it. Sometimes the guy just makes you crazy, even if you do love him."

"Don’t know what I’m talking about? Don’t know what I’m talking about!” My shout hit notes that normally only Wagnerian sopranos can reach. “You think you’re a freaking leprechaun, but I don’t know what I’m talking about?"

"Ah, that’s just sean nós singing and dancing. Something to do around the pub of an evening."

"Jinx, I know you just lost your grandfather, but you straighten out your tone right now or I will smack you one!"

"Leprechauns are not twee beings dreamed up by the tourist board, but warriors of legend. That name comes from the Celtic god of commerce and war, Lugh. Their mission, their life’s work, is to protect the gold. What better way to hide it than to become a joke, a story nobody takes seriously?"

"It was a sign of how worried and confused I was that I wasn’t completely distracted by the sight of his powerful thighs flexed in front of me."

"I’m an ass,” the voice on the phone said. “A complete and total ass."

"That’s the problem! She doesn’t say anything. She just stares at me like she’s hypnotized, like she thinks I’m a god, but then she runs off squeaking if I try to talk to her.”“I don’t squeak,” I protested. “Maybe she’s not looking at you like you’re a god. Maybe she thinks you’re more of a freak,” Fergus mused.“I’m not a freak.” Murphy jerked his head as if dodging a fly or tossing his hair. “It’s definitely a ‘you’re a god’ look. She practically drools."

"I love the man,” Megan said as she took a seat, “but honestly he needs to learn when not to agree with me."

"How would we get corporate sponsorship if we were just a bunch of thugs?"

"You are never to drive like that,” I told them. “Even if you are ever wealthy enough to own a Jaguar."

"I am always a perfect gentleman. If you ever want me to not be a perfect gentlemen, you’ll have to ask and not be crying when you do."

"Happiness wasn't a mystical place to be reached or won-some bright terrain beyond the boundary of misery, a paradise waiting for them to find it-but something to carry doggedly through everything."

"I heard ‘naked’ and ‘full of hot air.’ I try not to let that be my first impression of anyone."

"My own brother calling me a brickhead. Sneering faeries insulting me. Women punching me in the face. How much more am I to swallow in one bloody day?"

"Cursed the crown that brought such grief to me"

"If you truly love someone, you will cherish what they despise most about themselves" - Fernando Conclaves"

"She pointed a long lacquered nail at the pocket where his hand was fidgeting. “So is that an Obsidian in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

"To love, to live, to feel so much that your world keeps spinning, faster and faster, in that wonderful, chaotic mess of humanity that you’d so hastily give up. Immortality is overrated. It is nothing but the ability to live through it all and not experience a single thing, to eat everything without tasting it at all." Isak’s eyes shone with a desperate need. He wanted, more than anything it seemed, to be like me, when all I wanted was to be like him."

"There is nothing but heartache for a coru woman and a hunti man," she said, deliberately contrary. "He cannot control her and she cannot change him."He never fails her and she always moves him," Darien corrected. "She can trust his strength, and he can be lifted by her joy."
