Jessica Cluess,
A Shadow Bright and Burning
“It's easy to poke fun at the world and think yourself clever, but it's much harder to stand silent and endure.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“I have always been uncomfortable with fragile things, like feelings and confessions. Butterflies, too.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“Your stupidity is terrifying.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“I find a dash of insolence to be quite enjoyable from time to time.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“I didn't know how lonely I was," he said as we bowed, "until I had you on my side.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“People do what they think is right, but that does not make it good.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Poison Dark and Drowning
“Ferox et stultus," I said, grinning. "perhaps those are the Howel words as well.""No, yours would be I have a brilliant plan, followed by Blackwood moaning in horror.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Poison Dark and Drowning
“Don’t remind me of that,” Blackwood snapped. “I’m not in love with her, but I can see her value.” “Always about value with you, isn’t it? Why don’t you grow a personality? You’re like a shambling ghost, curdling everyone’s blood whenever you walk into a room.” “At least I don’t spend my time seducing innocent young women.” “Someone’s been reading novels again. What’s the title of this one? The Poxy Lordling and the Aggressive Milkmaid?” Magnus sighed. “I tried to leave her alone, but I can’t help myself. She teases me in just the right way—” Blackwood made a disgusted noise. “I don’t care. Unless you want an enemy, Magnus, leave her alone.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“It sometimes feels as though young women are trained from birth never to contribute anything original to a conversation.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“There is no winner till the race is run.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“You don’t have to teach me how to do what you do. Just teach me—” “How I do what I do, but not how to do what I do? What if what I do has to do with my knowledge of what to do, and doing requires only the knowledge of doing? What would you do then?” I blinked. “I believe you hurt my brain.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“I am not interested in what is pleasant. I'm interested in what's useful.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“I know your mind, and I swear to God if you take it upon yourself to go to him, I will drag you home even if it kills me. Do you hear?” His eyes shone with panic. “I'll never let him have you.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Poison Dark and Drowning
“You’re a cuckoo in the nest. If they learn the truth, they’ll push you out and break your neck.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Shadow Bright and Burning
“When I had your friendship, I thought I could never want for anything more. But over time, I have come to feel for you beyond anything I thought I could.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Poison Dark and Drowning
“Ajax gaped. "What the f-""Fibula? Another excellent word! Tra la!” ― Jessica Cluess, House of Dragons
“Despite everything - your lies, your wounds, I cannot help but love you. I'm helpless against it.” ― Jessica Cluess, A Poison Dark and Drowning
“Gods dream of empires, but devils build them.” ― Jessica Cluess, House of Dragons
