Blake's lips thinned. "Point taken.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

I’m like a puddle of mush when he kisses me. It’s embarrassing. I’m so, like, ‘Thank you, can I have another?’ Sad.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

“His eyes searched mine. "Thank you."

"For everything," he said.”

Grinning, I stretch up and kissed him.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

“Oh, dear God and baby Jesus in the manger, my eyes!” Dee shrieked. “My eyes!”
My own eyes snapped open. Daemon lifted his head, eyes luminous. Then I realized my hands were still up his shirt. I yanked them out.
“Oh my God,” I whispered, mortified.
Daemon said something that burned my ears. “Dee, you didn’t see anything.” And then he added much lower, “Because you have impeccable timing.”
“You were on…her and your mouths were doing this.” I could just imagine her hand signals at that point. She went on. “And that’s more than I want to see. Like, ever.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

I laughed as several people waiting in line looked over their shoulders. “Hand them over.”
He clutched them to his chest, making moony eyes. “My life is now complete.”

I did that about twice a week since my latest laptop went to the big computer heaven in the sky.”

“A smell of burned hair and cotton wafted into the air as I spun toward my desk. There was a low whine from the desk and then smoke billowed out of my closed laptop.
I gaped.
My precious, perfectly brand new laptop I cherished like one would a small child.
Son of a mother…
Friend or not, it was so on”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

“Just behave and don’t do anything you’ll regret in the morning." Her gaze drifted over my shoulder, and she mustered, “Wouldn’t be much.”
“Mom!”
Laughing, she gave me a light shove. “I’m old, not dead.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

“Slowly he looked at me, and then he bent down, planting his lips on mine. The kiss was unexpected—deep and forceful. Stunned I just stood there as he pulled back, nipping at my bottom lip. "Tasty, Kitten." Then he spun, planted his right hand on Blake’s shoulder, knocking him back into a locker. “See you around,” he said, smirking.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

“Kitten…” “Hmm?” I fisted the covers. “Just making sure you’re still with me.” He kissed the side of my leg, right above my knee. “Don’t want you falling asleep or anything.” Like sleep was possible. Ever.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Opal

I laughed softly as I unbuckled the seat belt. “Blake. His name is Blake.”

“-... dime: ¿qué otra cosa podemos hacer?
— Abandonar.
— ¿Y volver a la ciudad? —inquirió Gacel en tono despectivo —. ¿O volver a vagabundear como leprosos? Nadie nos quiere en ninguna parte, pequeña. Nadie quiere saber nada de la familia Sayah, y no podemos obligar a la gente a que nos acepte. Pero sí podemos obligar al desierto a que nos acepte, aunque sea profundizando en él hasta que lleguemos a su mismísimo corazón.
— ¿Pero y si no llegamos nunca?
— Llegaremos — replicó su hermano mayor con absoluta firmeza —. Si las palmeras han conseguido llegar, nosotros también.
—¿Cómo puedes estar tan seguro?
—Porque el día que un imohag no sea capaz de hacer lo que es capaz de hacer una palmera, nuestra raza estará condenada a desaparecer de la faz de la tierra. Y aún no ha llegado ese momento.
— Pero una palmera tiene raíces y nosotros no.
— Las raíces de nuestro pueblo son más profundas y están más firmemente asentadas en esta tierra que las de la más alta de las palmeras — intervino su madre con voz pausada...”
― Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa, quote from Tuareg

“It takes character to sit with all that cash and to do nothing.
I didn't get top where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.”
