Quotes from Bonds of Justice

“We fit, you and I,” he whispered looking into that haunting gaze. “Two broken pieces making a whole.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

“Dorian gave a smug grin. “My mate thinks I'm the most gorgeous leopard she ever saw.”

“Show us the footage before your head explodes,” Lucas muttered, but his own cat was grinning to see Dorian so happy. The sentinel had been latent most of his life, unable to shift into leopard form. Now that he could, he did so at every opportunity. “Have you managed to catch a rabbit yet?”

A single eloquent finger. “Fuck you.”

Lucas snickered. “What about trying for a turtle?”

Dorian lunged out of the chair and went for Lucas’s throat.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

A husky masculine chuckle, his lips moving over her shoulder, his hands on her hips. “Because I'm a smart man.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

"Will you remember me?"
His heart broke into a thousand pieces. "Always.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

Sophia had never had a younger sibling. But this man with his laughing eyes and bright smile... “Are you making me an offer?”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

—No —respondió, y lo hizo con absoluta seriedad. Él era suyo, la única persona que había sido suya. Y lo necesitaba, necesitaba a aquel policía que reprimía su dolor con puño de hierro, que mantenía sus cicatrices bien ocultas—. No voy a renunciar a ti.
Sus ojos centelleaban.
—Buena chica.”

—¿De veras?
—De veras. —Apoyó la frente en la de él con tierno afecto y le tomó el rostro entre las manos—. Has sido tú quien me ha enseñado que la vida no está grabada en piedra. Somos aquello en lo que nosotros mismos nos convertimos.

"Erwischt." Eine warme, liebevolle Hand auf ihrem Bauch. "Was macht der Rockstar?"
"Getöse, wie immer.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice

“In her experience, light skin and money made almost anything easier. She wanted her grandchildren to come into the world with an advantage.”
― Isabel Allende, quote from Island Beneath the Sea

“true success—financial, personal, and professional—lies above all in loving your family, working hard, and living your passion. In telling your story. In authenticity, hustle, and patience. In caring fiercely about the big and the small stuff. In valuing legacy over currency.”
― Gary Vaynerchuk, quote from Crush It!: Why Now Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion

“She felt as if she was standing at the edge of an abyss, but she was in no way counting on God to rescue her. On the contrary. I don’t believe in any of it. Not anymore.”
― Lene Kaaberbøl, quote from The Boy in the Suitcase

“I could imagine his sorrow. My father had a sensual relationship with his books. He loved feeling them, stroking them, sniffing them. He took a physical pleasure in books: he could not stop himself, he had to reach out and touch them, even other people's books. And books then really were sexier than books today: they were good to sniff and stroke and fondle. There were books with gold writing on fragrant, slightly rough leather bindings, that gave you gooseflesh when you touched them, as though you were groping something private and inaccessible, something that seemed to tremble at your touch. And there were other books that were bound in cloth-covered cardboard, stuck with a glue that had a wonderful smell. Every book had its own private, provocative scent. Sometimes the cloth came away from the cardboard, like a saucy skirt, and it was hard to resist the temptation to peep into the dark space between body and clothing and sniff those dizzying smells. Father would generally return”
― Amos Oz, quote from A Tale of Love and Darkness

“You’d never killed anyone. Then you had.”
― Guy Gavriel Kay, quote from River of Stars
