“If you are a dream, then it is one from which I do not ever wish to be woken.”

Heart of Dracula
“Oh, my love, I say goodbye For what the sea did do. She tipped the bow, and split the stern And ran me through and through. Hate her not for what she does, For she’s a jealous lot. The sea has taken what is hers And only what she ought. A sailor’s doom is waiting A’deep beneath the waves Where man and ship become as one And share their final graves. Do not weep for me, oh sweet, I rest where I belong. But in the whispers of the sea, My love, you’ll hear my song.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie Prince
“For millennia I have had to listen to you all whimper and whine like children about how I seek to destroy this world. Heed me now, Priest, and know that you have not once seen me try.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, Queen of Dreams
“Arguing with ignorance is like putting out the flames of Hell with a single bucket.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie Prince
“You’re insane!” “You keep saying that. It isn’t news.” He chuckled and rested his cheek on her temple” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Contortionist
“He was a covetous creature. And Cora Glass was his. And he would burn down the world to protect her.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Faire
“Into the darkness of my mind, my soul, I stare. Nothing shall gather within the shadows. In the twisting nettles, the briars, the thorns, I feel the pain that makes me whole. Balm not the biting sands that sting my flesh, for in that sorrow is my joy. To suffer is to live.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, King of Blood
“I am only offended when it means I can get something out of it.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie Prince
“I will follow you to the ends of the Earth. I will stay at your side until we crumble to dust. I will protect you as best I can, even from myself. And when I cannot, I can only pray you rip what’s left of me apart. Because I never, ever wish to hurt you. And I never, ever wish to fail you.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Faire
“There was no better way to convince a righteous man to do the unrighteous thing than by using his own words against him.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Contortionist
“Do it, my love,” she whispered. “Bring yourself the peace that I cannot give you.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie King
“He would have his war. He would have his Abigail. And he was miserable. “I do believe I hate being in love,” he murmured to no one in particular. “I do think this is rather terrible.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie Throne
“Death is the inevitable consequance of having lived” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Clown
“He embraced her like a lover. He laughed with her like a friend. He hunted her like a wolf. And he delighted in her fear like a tyrant.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie Crown
“I’m very sorry he didn’t understand how convenient it is to have a woman who cannot spawn.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie Prince
“Simon Waite. What an odd, tragic, terrible man. He was a monster, no doubt about it. He was a vicious, cruel, evil, and sadistic thing. Because he’d taken his heart and cast it into his shadow. Because if he hadn’t, there’d be nothing left of him to salvage.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Clown
“A poor old man.” “Who can turn water to wine.” “A poor old man with carefully honed skills.” He waved a gnarled finger at her. “You would be wise not to mock someone with my experience. I have lived off the Earth and soil for decades. And, so it seems, you’re about to join me.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, The Unseelie Prince
“Aon leaned his head to whisper to her. “I would have you rise as my equal in this world. I would have you tear down all who stand in your way. I would have you build this forsaken world to be your throne. For I love you, and I think I always have…” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, Queen of Dreams
“Loyalty brokered by terror is a fragile thing. It shatters on the first display of weakness from he who holds the end of the leash.” ― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, Heart of Dracula
