QUOTATIONS: THE LOST SISTERS BY HOLLY BLACK
"It's the kind of thing you like. The wicked are slain, with swords no less. Vengeance is had. Boldness is rewarded. But what about all those girls, all those obedient girls who trusted and loved and wed and died? Weren't they bold, too? I bet you don't think so. I bet you think they were just stupid." - Taryn page 3
"That's your problem in a nutshell. You're judgmental." - Taryn page 3
"Everyone makes mistakes. They trust the wrong people. They fall in love. Not you, though. And that's why it's so hard to ask you for forgiveness." - Taryn page 3
"Let's start with a love story. Or maybe it's another horror story. It seems like the difference is mostly in where the ending comes." - Taryn page 4
"All stories are lessons." - Taryn page 4
"Fairy tales have a moral: Stay on the path. Don't trust wolves. Don't steal things, not even things you think no normal person would care about. Share your food but don't trust people who want to share their food with you; don't eat their shiny red apples, nor their candy houses, nor any of it. Be nice, always nice, and polite to everyone: kings and beggars, witches and wounded bears. Don't break a promise." - Taryn page 4
"How does it feel? To be stuck in a fairy tale?" - Locke page 5
"I like stories and perhaps I like you as well." - Locke page 6
"You know I hate it when people don't like me." - Taryn page 7
"I comfort myself with the knowledge that they need us, even if they don't like to admit it." - Taryn page 7

"I am not the only one who hid things." - Taryn page 10
"I wished that I could kick you. I wished I could slap you. Looking at you was like looking into a mirror and hating what I saw. And your obliviousness, in that moment, made it worse. I know it was a terrible thing to think, but at least I am admitting it. See, I am confessing everything." - Taryn page 11
"I like you. Unwisely. I am fair sure I like you far too well." - Locke page 12
"You were wondering about your place here, just like I was." - Taryn page 16
"Be bold, be bold, but not too bold, lest that your heart's blood should run cold." - Taryn page 17
"Be good, but not too good. Be pretty, but not too pretty. Be honest, but not too honest." - Taryn page 24
"Love is a noble cause, how can anything done in the service of a noble cause be wrong?" - Vivienne page 24
"You're awful. And the worst part is that you believe otherwise." - Cardan page 25
"Everything was just getting worse and worse and I didn't know how to stop any of it. It felt like being trapped in one of those circle dances." - Taryn page 26
"It was hard to stay away from you." - Locke page 27
"Love is greedy." - Princess Rhyia
"Sometimes it's easier to be mad at the people close to us. Than to be mad at the people who deserve it." - Vivienna page 35
