Quotes from Born of Ice

“Happiest day of my life when my dad made him human. (Devyn)

I know. But I wonder if the feelings I have are real or just electrical stimulations in my cortex that simulate human emotion. I wish I knew if they were real or imagined. (Vik)
And that makes you completely human, sweetie. We all have those doubts. (Alix)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

Yeah, all right, so we both have screwed-up, irrational mothers. (Adron)”

“You mean there’s someone out there better than your father? (Quills)

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

“See, Sway, that’s what you get for flunking your pilot’s test six times…which I’m pretty sure is a record of some sort. If not for the actual flunking, definitely for the persistence in pursuing that which you obviously have no talent for. Personally, I wouldn’t let you fly a remote-control kid’s plane. (Vik)
Shut up before I find a can opener. (Sway)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

“Dammit, Vik. How can you not know what’s wrong with this thing? Can’t you commune with it or something? (Devyn)
My name is not ‘Dammit, Vik’ and I find it ironic that you think I can commune with all metal beings when you can barely communicate your point of view to your own parents. And they birthed you. I did not give birth to this ship. Last time I checked, I was male and that would be impossible on a multitude of levels. (Vik)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

“Sway’s an idiot who didn’t order them when we used up the last bunch. (Vik)
Isn’t that your job? (Devyn)
No. I’m the sub-idiot. Sway’s head idiot because the company refuses to deal with mechas. Since I’m not organic, they think I can’t pay. (Vik)
Thanks, Vik. (Devyn)
Ever my pleasure to irritate you, sir. (Vik)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

“How could you let him do this? (Shahara)
I know you’re not going to pin this on me, Shay. I didn’t raise the embryo. You did. It’s what you get for teaching him things like honor, love, courage, and loyalty. If you’d left him a scared little snot-nose, he’d still be living in your basement. (Vik)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

“No worries. They don’t scare me. (Devyn)
All right, but if my brain matter ends up smeared against a wall, I’ll never forgive you. (Alix)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

“I agree, Dad. I was just explaining to the woman why we don’t look anything alike and why you would have been younger than me when I was born. It doesn’t mean I don’t love you ‘cause you know I do. Make one snotty comment in anger when you’re twelve years old going through puberty and getting grounded, and you pay for it for the rest of your life. Parents ain’t got no sense of humor. (Omari)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Ice

About the author

Popular quotes

“You’d think that the people who worshiped the real true God would have better sense.' ~Althalus”
― David Eddings, quote from The Redemption of Althalus

“I like the plain, old-fashioned churches, built for use, not show, where people met for hearty praying and preaching, and where everybody made their own music instead of listening to opera singers, as we do now. I don't care if the old churches were bare and cold, and the seats hard, there was real piety in them, and the sincerity of it was felt in the lives of the people. I don't want a religion that I put away with my Sunday clothes, and don't take out till the day comes round again; I want something to see and feel and live by day-by-day,”
― Louisa May Alcott, quote from An Old-Fashioned Girl

“Tastykakes are just another of the many advantages of living in Jersey. They’re made in Philly and shipped to Trenton in all their fresh squishiness. I read once that 439,000 Butterscotch Krimpets are baked every day. And not a heck of a lot of them find their way to New Hampshire. All that snow and scenery and what good does it do you without Tastykakes?”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Hard Eight

“If we might be able to save this world, how can we walk away? Too many people around here have given up! Galloran said heroes sacrifice for causes; they do things that others hide from. I may not be some great hero, but I won’t hide from this. I would never live with myself.”
― Brandon Mull, quote from A World Without Heroes

“With a deep regret, I wiggled out from under him despite his sleepy protests and grabbed articles of clothing as I tiptoed to his door. What amazing willpower I had. What fantastic self-control. I'd come over for one reason, and everything but that reason seemed to be resolved. When I reached the door, I saw what looked like another note. But this was his door, not mine. I peeled it off, then angled it until I could read it by the light of the fire.

Is that all you've got?

With a smile spreading slowly across my face, I dropped everything I'd just picked up and went back for more.”
― Darynda Jones, quote from Fifth Grave Past the Light

As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking.
