“I wish I was not who I am. I wish I had met you in different circumstances, in a place far away from here, where there was no magic, politics and deception.

“I think it is in our nature to be selfish, and in our capacity to do a great many evil things.” ― Danielle L. Jensen, Stolen Songbird
“I love you," he said, his lips grazing against hers. "And I will love you, no matter what the future brings. No matter how hard I need to fight. I will always love you."The words undid her, broke her apart completely, then forged her into something new. Something stronger. Something better.” ― Danielle L. Jensen, The Bridge Kingdom
“Now that your speech impediment has been rectified, perhaps you might say something. It would be best if it were humorous. I enjoy a good jest.' 'You are dreadfully rude,' I said to him. He sighed. 'That wasn't the slightest bit funny.” ― Danielle L. Jensen, Stolen Songbird
“Why?” I slammed my fists down on the table. “Why can’t you believe me? Why don’t you trust me?”“Because you’re human, Cécile. You can lie, even to yourself.” ― Danielle L. Jensen, Stolen Songbird
“I cringed, though; for as much as I did not want to marry a troll, I was just as certain the troll didn’t want to marry me.” ― Danielle L. Jensen, Stolen Songbird
“Behind my closed lids, my eyes stung, and I bit my lip. Tristan stroked my hair and I opened my eyes, staring into his soul, which was filled with all the sympathy, sorrow, and longing that I felt in my heart. For what I had lost. For what he had never had. And for what he never would have, if I did what he'd asked and abandoned my quest to break the curse."I love you, Cécile," he said, and my breath caught.
