She was like a mother to me...and I betrayed as a daughter will betray her mother and yet, never stop loving her.
She smiles. You know you can do nothing. What will be, will be. If there is a battle—I gasp but her smile is steady—if there is a battle, then either your husband will win, and your son will take the...
She had no idea, no better than my kitten, as to how she would survive in this kingdom of her enemies. She must have thought that George was her savior. But not for long. Nobody knows quite what happe...
Richard told me I was the most beautiful girl that had ever been born, that one glance from me set him on fire with desire, that my skin was perfect, that my hair was his delight, that he never slept...
No, you look like the beauty you are, and you know it. You have that gift, which our mother had, of growing older and becoming more lovely. Your features have changed from being merely those of a pret...
Ne postoji ništa što čovek može učiniti nego da podnosi. Možete besneti ili možete plakati, ali na kraju ćete naučiti kako to podnosti.
My honour and my pride are in my heart, and not in what the world says.
It is not love that matters, Mistress Boy, it is what you choose to do with it. What’d you choose to do with yours?
In truth, I did not have to wonder. She would be feeling that disturbing mixture of emotions that she always summoned from me: admiration and envy, pride and a furious rivalry, a longing to see a belo...
In a way. Magic is the act of making a wish come about. Like praying, like plotting, like herbs, like exerting your will on the world, making something happen.
If my honour is a real thing then it can’t depend on whether a man sees my face, or touches my hand, or kisses my lips. If I am an honourable woman then I am an honourable woman like a man is an honou...
If it means something to you,then take it to heart. If it means nothing, it means nothing, let it go.
If a writer believes that women do nothing, then he will have to fantasize about their lives to make a good story. If a writer believes that women are weak, rivalrous, and moody, then she will produce...
Ideas are more dangerous than an unsheathed sword in this world, half of them are forbidden, the other half would lead a man to question the very place of the earth itself, safe at the center of the u...
I want my honour to be about me as a person, not me as an object with boundaries and gateways, as if I were a field – someone can touch my hand, someone can see my face, someone else can’t even speak...
I have not slept for nights. I have not eaten for days. I am a soul in torment. Tell me if you think that she loves me, if you think that she might love me. Tell me, for pity’s sake.
I have my own loyalties and obligations that I consider and honor. They are not his. They are not at the beck and call of any man.
I believe that a desire and a prayer and a spell are all the same thing, I say. When you pray, you know that you want something, that’s always the first step. To let yourself know that you want someth...
I am not a yard of ribbon. I am not a leg of ham. I am not for sale to anyone.
