“Love makes you foolish. It makes you throw every bit of logic away, do stupid things, dangerous things.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“Like chaos in a glass cage.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“In all of eternity, no faery born has overcome me in anything.'
Aaah. Pride goeth before the fall, my friend"--Irial stood and clasped Devlin's hand--"but you've already fallen, haven't you?'
And to that, Devlin had no answer.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“He reached out and caressed her face. With a serious expression, he traced the edge of her jaw with his thumb. "You‘re beautiful, Ani. In all of eternity, there‘s never been another faery who could make me want to forget everything and everyone else."
"Because you like the way I look?" She rolled her eyes. "Apparently, my dream mind is shallow."
"No, not the exterior. You… the tempers and follies and passion… even the way you care for that infuriating steed."Devlin gazed at her like she was precious. "Even knowing you could be fatal, I would‘ve said yes."
Her chest hurt like she had held her breath too long as she asked, "To?"
"Whatever you wanted." He didn‘t reach out and pull her into his embrace. Instead, he took one step forward, leaned down, and kissed her.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“Like many faeries she knew, he was sculpture-perfect, but instead of being wrought of shadows like those in her court, this faery had a tangled feel to him. Shadow and radiance. He didn‘t look much older than her, until she saw the arrogance in his posture. Then, he reminded her of Irial, of Bananach, of Keenan, of the faeries who walked through courts and crowds confident that they could slaughter everyone in the room. Like chaos in a glass cage.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“Some things are more important than safety.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“Pride goeth before the fall....but you've already fallen, haven't you?”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“I waited here while you talked to Sorcha, who, by the way, is crazy. Now you are off to the mortal world where the crazier one is? ... I was there, Devlin. Bananach could've killed you, and really? We've been bound together for like five minutes and you're suddenly darting off into danger without me. I don't think so.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“I am Devlin, brother and advisor to the High Queen, assassin, and keeper of order.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“You cannot force me to make my wishes now" She squared her shoulders and looked at him. "I've read texts.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“but it's not always as set as that. Some things, though, feel like they're right. You and me? It's one of those things. I don't know why they see or why things are such a mess, but in the middle of it all, I do know that being around you is one of tue best things that happened to me in, well, ever.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows
“I've read Reverend Kirk, in fact. My uncle's library has quite a few books of your people. I have read Mr. Lang's fairy tales as well. (Katherine Rae O'Flaherty)
"Books are not the same as reality," Devlin stared at her. "My world is not always kind to mortals.”
― Melissa Marr, quote from Radiant Shadows

“The Council on Foreign Relations is like an establishment country club—a
veritable Who’s Who of American policy-making. The mainstream press has
historically given scant coverage to exactly what it is that the CFR does. The
“Foreign Relations” part of the name would seem to indicate a group devoted
to the study of foreign policy objectives. Indeed, on the rare occasions that the
CFR is mentioned in the mainstream media, it is inevitably referred to as “an
influential foreign policy think tank”—makes it even more curious that so
many celebrated figures decidedly lacking in “foreign policy” experience are
or have been members.”

“No matter how badly you push it away and ignore it, the pain of loss never really goes away.”

“His listening intensified day by day until he could hear the adagio movement of a nucleus inside an electron aria that floated through the operatic galaxy inside a single atom. And then he began to hear extra... In the case of the marmalade spoon, the whir of the bluebottle fly was more than a buzzing, it also spoke of the splendor of courage. That was the extra part.”

“Reordon,” a male voice came over the line.
“Chris, it’s Marcus.”
“Hey, man. How’s it going?”
“Not that great. I wrecked my bike.”
“Ah, hell. Not the Hayabusa.”
“That’s the one.”
“Please tell me it’s just a scratch.”
Marcus studied the wreckage. “I’m sure if you sort through the debris, one or two pieces will have scratches on them.”

The Beauty MythBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. 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. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
