“I would beg,” he murmured. “For you, I would. You have fucking destroyed me, Oraya. Do you know that?”

“Death isn’t frightening when weighed against an insignificant existence.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“I figured you should have something both beautiful and functional, like you."He said it so quickly that it almost didn't register. I whipped my head around to look at him. "Max," I breathed, touching my heart with exaggerated awe, "you think I'm functional?"A dancing smile glinted in his eyes. "I think," he said, "that you are breathtakingly functional.” ― Carissa Broadbent, Daughter of No Worlds
“Men want power because it makes them feel good. Women want power because it lets us do things.” ― Carissa Broadbent, Daughter of No Worlds
“I’ve lived through some injustices in the last couple of centuries. Seen some fucking travesties. But one of the biggest, Oraya, is that anyone taught you that you should become anything other than exactly what you are.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“I’d spend a lifetime at the tip of your blade, and it would have been worth it.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King
“Oraya of the Nightborn,” he murmured. “I give you my body. I give you my blood. I give you my soul. I give you my heart. From this night until the end of nights. From daybreak until our days are broken. Your soul is my soul. Your heart is my heart. Your pain is my pain. I bind myself to you.” I wanted it to all be a lie. But it was not a lie.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“A dead lover can never break your heart.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“I wanted him in so many ways. As a friend, as a kindred soul, as a fierce teammate. As skin and lips and teeth. As a hitched breathless moan in the darkness or a lazy embrace in the sunrise. I wanted that. I wanted it all.” ― Carissa Broadbent, Daughter of No Worlds
“You have nothing but me", I said. "And yet, you'd let me go?" "I have nothing but you,' he murmured. "So I am letting you go.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King
“He did not fear my darkness, nor pity my compassion. And the truth was, the idea of dying without knowing him completely was torturous.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“Let me make you the queen that you are. Let me guard your body, your soul, your heart. Let me spend the rest of my fucking pathetic life at your mercy. If I need to die, then let me do it by your hand. Please.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King
“Never trust. Never yield. Always guard your heart.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“Raihn. He was on his knees, staring up at me. And that—the way he looked at me—was the first thing that felt real. Real, and raw, and… and confusing. Because he looked at me in sheer awe—like I was the most incredible thing he had ever seen. Like I was a fucking goddess.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“vampires know better than anyone how important it is to protect their hearts. And love, understand, is sharper than any stake.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“I like a little fight,” he murmured. “Besides, she’s ruined me for all others. My own fucking fault, though. I knew it from the beginning.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King
“Perhaps I didn’t share his blood, but I was his child in every other sense of the word, and he loved me the only way he knew how. At the edge of a blade.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“So many mistakes in the end,” he choked out. “Never you.” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night
“There she is,” ― Carissa Broadbent, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King
