Quotes from Slave to Sensation

“Sometimes I remember that I can't always protect those I love." Under his fingers, her hair was soft and silky.

She didn't try to tell him that he wasn't God, that he couldn't protect everyone. He knew that.

But knowing and believing were two different things. What she did say succeeded in stopping his heart. "I wish you'd love me."

Why?"

Because then maybe you could protect me, too" Haunting sorrow whispered through her tone.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Slave to Sensation

“She was his and he was hers. They had under-the-skin privileges.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Slave to Sensation

“The woman rolled her eyes. “DarkRiver males are damn possessive and complete exhibitionists during the mating dance.”
Sascha ran through her dictionary of changeling terminology and could find no fit. “Mating dance?”
Mercy whistled. Dorian winced. Tamsyn suddenly got interested in her dough. Clay and Vaughn mysteriously disappeared. Behind her, Lucas’s body was a hard wall of heat. “I think we need to discuss this upstairs.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Slave to Sensation

“An hour of your life is worth more than a thousand people to me.”

“You know I'll never say no, and Nate's so dedicated, I think he loves our alpha more than me."

"Bad dreams?"

― Nalini Singh, quote from Slave to Sensation

“Sascha era un arco iris dentro de él, una fontana resplandeciente de una belleza tal, que Lucas se sintió bendecido por tener la posibilidad de verla. Por un instante sus mentes fueron una sola y vio cuán desesperada, salvaje e irracionalmente le amaba Sascha... lo suficiente como para romper su promesa, para elegir morir a fin de que él pu¬diera vivir.


Sascha vio hasta qué punto la pantera la adoraba, que su corazón latía solo por ella y que la vida daría paso a la muerte después de que ella se hubiera ido. La bestia estaba furiosa con ella por intentar arrebatarle a su compañera y el hombre lo estaba aún más, pero bajo toda esa ira había deseo, necesidad, amor. Un amor tan intenso y abrasador que no tenía principio ni fin.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Slave to Sensation

“I’m possessive and I’m territorial. Can you handle that?”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Slave to Sensation

Popular quotes

“So it is in life... In search of the truth, people make two steps forward and one step back. Sufferings, mistakes, and the tedium of life throw them back, but the thirst for truth and a stubborn will drive them on and on. And who knows? Maybe they’ll row their way to the real truth...”
― Anton Chekhov, quote from The Complete Short Novels

“You get what you intend to create by being in harmony with the power of intention, which is responsible for all of creation.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Power of Intention: Learning to Co-create Your World Your Way

“... mi maligna manera de entender el mundo me ayudaba a reirme por lo bajo...”

“إن إنسانيّتى لا تتمثل فى التعاطف مع الإنسان فى وجوده، بل فى أن أتحمل الشعور به إلى جانبى”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo

“It was not said amiss by Antisthenes, when people told him that one Ismenias was an excellent piper, “It may be so,” said he, “but he is but a wretched human being, otherwise he would not have been an excellent piper.” And king Philip, to the same purpose, told his son Alexander, who once at a merry-meeting played a piece of music charmingly and skilfully, “Are you not ashamed, son, to play so well?” For it is enough for a king or prince to find leisure sometimes to hear others sing, and he does the muses quite honor enough when he pleases to be but present, while others engage in such exercises and trials of skill. He who busies himself in mean occupations produces, in the very pains he takes about things of little or no use, an evidence against himself of his negligence and indisposition to what is really good.”
― Plutarch, quote from Parallel Lives

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.
