Quotes from Bitter Sweet Love

“Nothing in this world is stronger than love. It should always be enough. No matter what.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“I laughed. "Oh, I like this little guy. If we can't let him go, can I keep him?"

"Uh, no"

"I shall name him Herbert," I announced, ignoring Dez. "Do you like the name, little puke-wedgie?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“I’ve missed you, Jas. You have no idea,” he continued, reaching toward me again but stopping short of touching me. “I thought about you every damn day. All I wanted was to get back to you and the clan. But mostly you. Always you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“For thousands of years, my kind had been thought of as nothing more than the stone sculptures perched upon the rooftops of homes and churches. Aka gargoyles. And technically, that’s what we were – but the depiction of a gargoyle was vastly exaggerated. Even the ugliest of all Wardens didn’t have a bulbous nose or fangs jutting from his mouth. It was rather insulting when you thought about it.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“I wasn’t naïve enough to believe in soul mates or any of that childish nonsense that I had once clung to, but there had always been something tangible between Dez and me, even after his absence, it was still there, stronger than before.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“But when your father announced his intentions for us, I knew I had to purge myself of the rage, because loving you... loving you was bittersweet," he whispered against my lips. "Because I knew if I didn't do this, if I didn't get all the hatred out of me, I would never be the mate you deserved.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“My first kiss...and it was everything I’d imagined it to be, with the exception of there being an audience for it. But it was hard to acknowledge them or their cheering and whistles. Flames scorched my already heated skin. Dez’s lips moved against mine, working the tight seam open. I gasped, wondering where in the world he’d learned to kiss like that. Jealousy flared like a beacon on the heels of that thought. Okay. I didn’t want to know how he’d learned.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“I had loved him since the moment he’d taken the pudding from me. When my father had announced on Dez’s eighteenth birthday that he supported a match between us, I’d never been happier than I was in that moment. I was young. And stupid. When Dez had disappeared the very next day, I experienced a heartache that I thought would swallow me whole and never spit me out. He’d been more than a crush. He had been my best friend, my confidant and my world.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“I was not happy. I was knee deep in freak out mode.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“And I'm just saying that by the end of these seven days or maybe a week from then, or a month, you'll say yes." He cupped my cheek and leaned inm pressing his forehead to mine. "And I'll be waiting. No matter how long it takes.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“Maybe at the end of these seven days, you'll still say no. That doesn't mean it's over. Im in this for the long haul.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“Nothing in this world is stronger than love. It should always be enough, no matter what.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“I want you, and I know you feel the same way. Neither of us could’ve changed that much. I believe in that. And I want you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“I don’t bite. Unless you want me to.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“words or the lack thereof had been our problem all along. Either we weren’t telling each other what was really going on or we were saying all the wrong things. Words sucked sometimes.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“Niente a questo mondo è più forte dell’amore. Dovrebbe essere sempre l’unica cosa che conta, a tutti i costi.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“Thoughts of being obliterated were a moo killer.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

“Las personas con las almas más puras son capaces de las maldades más grandes. Nadie es perfecto, sin importar lo que sean o por qué bando luchen.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love

Popular quotes

“Can I cuddle up with you when you sleep?”

Sma stopped, detached the creature from her shoulder with one hand and stared it in the face. “What?”

“Just for chumminess’ sake,” the little thing said, yawning wide and blinking. “I’m not being rude; it’s a good bonding procedure.”

Sma was aware of Skaffen-Amtiskaw glowing red just behind her. She brought the yellow and brown device closer to her face. “Listen, Xenophobe—”

“Xeny.”

“Xeny. You are a million-ton starship. A Torturer class Rapid Offensive Unit. Even—”

“But I’m demilitarized!”

“Even without your principle armament, I bet you could waste planets if you wanted to—”

“Aw, come on; any silly GCU can do that!”

“So what’s all this shit for?” She shook the furry little remote drone, quite hard. Its teeth chattered.

“It’s for a laugh!” it cried. “Sma, don’t you appreciate a joke?”

“I don’t know. Do you appreciate being drop-kicked back to the accommodation area?”

“Ooh! What’s your problem, lady? Have you got something against small furry animals, or what?” Look Ms. Sma, I know very well I’m a ship, and I do everything I’m asked to do—including taking you to this frankly rather fuzzily specified destination—and do it very efficiently, too. If there was the slightest sniff of any real action, and I had to start acting like a warship, this construct in your hands would go lifeless and limp immediately, and I’d battle as ferociously and decisively as I’ve been trained to. Meanwhile, like my human colleagues, I amuse myself harmlessly. If you really hate my current appearance, all right; I’ll change it; I’ll be an ordinary drone, or just a disembodied voice, or talk to you through Skaffen-Amtiskaw here, or through your personal terminal. The last thing I want is to offend a guest.”

Sma pursed her lips. She patted the thing on its head and sighed. “Fair enough.”

“I can keep this shape?”

“By all means.”

“Oh goody!” It squirmed with pleasure, then opened its big eyes wide and looked hopefully at her. “Cuddle?”

“Cuddle.” Sma cuddled it, patted its back.

She turned to see Skaffen-Amtiskaw lying dramatically on its back in midair, its aura field flashing the lurid orange that was used to signal Sick Drone in Extreme Distress.”
― Iain M. Banks, quote from Use of Weapons

“I don't like hope very much. In fact, I hate it. It's the crystal meth of emotions. It hooks you fast and kills you hard. It's bad news. The worst. It's sharp sticks and cherry bombs. When hope shows up, it's only a matter of time until someone gets hurt.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, quote from Revolution

“—Anda, tonto. Ahora haz una mueca de disgusto y mírame como un patito moribundo antes de reclinar tu cabeza en mi hombro para que yo acaricie tus cabellos llenos de electricidad estática. Buscabas una mentira piadosa, ¿verdad? Esperabas que yo te dijera: «¡Contigo seré feliz en cualquier parte, Toran!», o bien, «¡Las mismas profundidades interestelares serían mi hogar, amor mío, teniéndote a mi lado!» Vamos, admítelo.”
― Isaac Asimov, quote from The Foundation Trilogy

“road and find this mystery man, nothing can stop him—not hunger, not cops, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself. “A crackerjack”
― Christopher Paul Curtis, quote from The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963

“MOMMMM, I'm thirsty... What's this, just water?”
― Bill Watterson, quote from The Essential Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury
