Batty, i absolutely love that first quote of yours, so funny.

"I'd teach you of her looks and of her ways,
Her lilting voice, the tincture of her hair,
Her lucent eyes as bright as Summer days.
I'd teach you this and more, but she's not there."
~ The quote at the beginning of Chapter 12 of The Battle of Evernight, Book III of The Bitterbynde Saga, by Cecilia Dart-Thornton.

It's said to be an old Talith song, whatever that is, i'e yet to get around to looking it up. Bad me :D

[Batty]

Heeheehee. Jaye Wells is one of my favorite authors.

If I seriously went through, and posted every quote from every book I own, you'd have abs of steel.

Heres a few more.

Jeaniene Frost

"I'm saying that I'm a moody, insecure, narrow-minded, jealous, borderline homicidal bitch, and I want you to promise me that you're okay with that, because it's who I am, and you're what I need." - Halfway to the Grave

"You called her Kitten? And she let you? She put me in a coma for three days when I called her that! My balls never recovered from her smashing them into my spine!" - One Foot in the Grave

"Why don't I just give you a pair of my panties to hang around your neck? Then whenever you feel jealous, you can wave them at whoever's pissing you off."

"We're, ah, taking a break to evaluate things, and, um, reexamine our relationship, so I stuffed him in a closet!" I burst out in shame. Timmie's eyes goggled.
"Is he still there?" - Halfway to the Grave

[Gallowsraven]

The last three. Definately the last three :D

More from The Battle of Evernight;

"Pale rings of smoke come floating through the trees,
Clear voices thread like silver on the breeze,
And as i look towards the west i grieve,
For in my heart, I'm crying out to leave."
~ quote given at the start of the first chapter.

I like the quotes in this book, i think they're pretty :D

[Batty]

They really are.

None of my books have quotes like that. xDD; They're all pretty perverted, grotesque, or talk about a poor little demon's forked penis. xD;

[Gallowsraven]

:D I nearly fell off my chair reading that.

"In Lallillir I heard the water falling
Through secret places hung with dripping ferns.
And, as it fell, the water-voices calling
From rushing gills, and mossy becks and burns."
~ from the chap-book: Poems of the North Country, the quote at the beginning of chapter three of The Battle of Evernight

[Batty]

Jaye Wells, man... only her. xDD;

I would highly suggest you check out her books. :3
Theres three of them out right now. The next comes out in January of next year.

The series starts out with Red-Headed Step Child. GODOEETNAO.

[Gallowsraven]

I will, no worries about that, the joke in my family is that i could start my own library with everything i've got. My room's littered with books because they don't all fit on the shelves or in the box anymore :D

"Faerie, have my bones, forever may i live,
But of deathless years i vow that i would give
All, to walk once more beneath thy singing trees,
else to glimpse again the jewels of thy seas,
Or to breathe once more the wind that scours thy sky.
Faerie, have my bones, and peaceful shall i lie."
~ from chap 11 of The Battle of Evernight, it's called A Song of the exiles

[Batty]

LOL! Thats what MY mom says! And my sister. And.. well... the rest of whomever I know, most likely.

I need more bookshelves, though. I hate when bad things happen to the covers and binding, and such.

[Gallowsraven]

If they're well-read and old i don't mind so much; a little damage comes with use after all.

"In your dark eyes translucent moonbeams glimmer
And, running swiftly, silver horses shimmer.
But dawn's whey-pallored light shows you are leaving.
Of pleasure and contentment you are bereaving
Me. Here i wait, shrouded by midnight's curtain.
I wait. This sunless place is so uncertain
I cannot know if 'tis a dream I'm seeing.
And even shadows from themselves are fleeing."
~ chap 9 of The Battle of Evernight, Love-song of Taviscot.

[Batty]

I'm too OCD about it. xD; Its a really horrible habit.

"You're in my blood like poison. And I'd die because of you." - Caitlin Kittredge, Demon Bound

[Gallowsraven]

"That sorceress might be an evil bitch, but she's my evil bitch. And I'll have no other." ~ Rydstrom Woede in Kiss of a Demon King (gotta love Kresley Cole ;) )

[Quiet Man Cometh]

"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun.
Coral is far more red than her lips' red.
If snow is white, why, then her breasts are dun!
If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head..."

Shakespeare poking fun at the Elizabethan ideal of beauty ;). Can't remember the numnber of the sonnet. Those few lines are off the top of my head.

[Gallowsraven]

Knew i recognised it :D

"You didn't believe Omort about the well and the sacrifice? That I was part of the plan?"
"Of course not. Just as i don't believe this was all some plot you concocted ahead of time. The last week between us was real."
"Like our marriage?"
~ Sabine to Rydtrom regarding his faking the vow by speaking in demonish so she couldn't understand him; at the time he vowed to hurt her in kind for the pain she caused him.

[Batty]

I need to find more amazing quotes...

But mine, compared to all of yours... it pales in comparison. =/

[Gallowsraven]

Not really, i've just got a book who's author likes to quote pretty poetry :D in a way it's cheating.

Anyway, this one from Kiss of a Demon King is more an extract than a quote, seeing how long it is, but i find the scene funny. Sabine, the character being talked about, is a kind of anti-hero from "Team Evil" as Nix likes to say. This is Rydstrom talking to Nix:

"Damn it, Nix, some of your guests are still in the pool."
"I've got this." To the others, she called, "hey, witches, did you see that redhead who was just here in the wicked cool clothes?"
One called back, "The one dressed up like a sorceress?" while another declared "I'd do her."
"Well she's a real sorceress. She's Sabine the Queen of Illusions-"
That got them surging for the sides of the pool, some of them crying out: "the bitch will gack our powers!" - "She'll make us insane!" - "Where is my intoxibong?"
With a contented sigh, Nix said, "I think Sabine's introduction into New Orleans Lorekind will be fraught with moments like these."

Another note on the scene: sabine has already decided that none of the witches at the illegal pool-party have a power "worth getting out of bed for" :D

I'm running a bit low on quotes at this point, at least ones that I like enough to share. Here's one I managed to scrounge up, though,

From whence did Dante take the materials for his hell but from our actual world? And a very proper hell he was able to make of it. -- Arthur Schoperhauer
