“I have terrible nightmares, you know. Every night when I come home from a long day’s dying, I take off my skin and lay it nicely on my armoire. I take off my bones and hang them up on the hatstand. I set my scythe to washing on the old stove. I eat a nice supper of mouse-and-myrrh soup. Some nights I drink off a nice red wine. White does not agree with me. I lay myself down on a bed of lilies and still, I cannot sleep.”

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making
“There was too much magic in the world to become bitter and jaded and growing up didn’t have to mean growing old.” ― Lili Valente, Desperate Domination
“This guy has a magical dick, Mandy. His dick is like a unicorn. His dick has basically proven the existence of unicorns. I now believe in unicorns. For real, I’m not kidding. Call me back, please. Please, please, please!” ― Lili Valente, Puck Aholic
“Bend over and lift your skirt, i'm going to show you what it's like to spend Christmas on the naughty list” ― Lili Valente, Snowed in with the Boss
“Two people who share a secret no one else knows because no one else understands the way it is between us when our clothes are off and her breath is my breath and there are no more questions, just answers, and every single one is her name.” ― Lili Valente, Magnificent Bastard
“To be lost with him. Found with him. To be held tight while this powerful, impressively put together man melts in my arms because he’s as devastated by the beauty we make together as I am.” ― Lili Valente, Hot as Puck
“Never ever was what they had said to each other since they were little girls. It meant more than I love you. It meant I never ever want to be apart, I never ever want to wake up to a day without you in it, I never ever want to be as close to anyone in the world as I am to you, my sister, my best friend, my other half.” ― Lili Valente, Dark Domination
“I’ve been dating for over a decade, Libby, and I have never had a man look as hopeful and adorably desperate over me as Justin looked holding up that stupid poem for you. Hearts all over the country are breaking for that goofy, handsome fool, and when you go out there with your sign that says you love him, too, you’re going to put those hearts back together again. And you’re going to give them a reason to believe that maybe their own happily-ever-afters aren’t a hopeless cause after all.” ― Lili Valente, Hot as Puck
“I don’t know. I guess he doesn’t want his grandmother to know that he’s living in sin with a woman he got pregnant out of wedlock. So it’s going to be our little secret for now.” At this point, I’m pretty sure my eyes are bulging out of my head, but Mandy’s voice is breezy as she adds, “No, seriously, it’s fine with me. He’s a great guy and the sex is incredible. So yeah, with all the orgasming I’m doing, I really have no reason to complain. You want to say hi?” Before I can recover from the shock of hearing Mandy tell her mother about our incredible, orgasm-heavy sex life, she taps a button and holds the phone up between us, chirping cheerily, “Say hi to Alexi, Mom! You’re on speakerphone.” ― Lili Valente, Puck Me Baby
“That was only my second time doing that. But I watched some videos last night, so I was hoping it would be okay.”“Firstly—again, it was far, far better than okay. Secondly—what kind of videos?” I wiggle my brows suggestively. “You mean porn?”Her blush spreads from her cheeks down the pale column of her throat. “Instructional videos.”“By which you mean porn.”She rolls her eyes with a huff. “Fine. Yes. Porn, but it was good porn. There was a story line.”“Because that’s why we all watch porn. For the story line.” ― Lili Valente, Hot as Puck
“A girl who never smiles has such power—what men will do to turn up but one corner of her mouth! She already wears her red war-gown and her circlet of cinnabar poppies. They bring out the color in her grimace.” ― Catherynne M. Valente, The Lily and the Horn
“It makes sense that the two most beautiful people in the room should gravitate toward each other.” ― Lili Valente, Hot as Puck
“So never doubt that you can trust me, sunshine,” he said, urging her onto her side with a firm hand. “I won’t hurt you, I won’t let you down, and I won’t leave, no matter how deep we go or what we find there.” ― Lili Valente, Divine Domination
“You have this way of making totally benign things sound…absolutely filthy.” Her breath rushes out as her cheeks flush pinker than they were before.” ― Lili Valente, Puck Me Baby
“Virginia Wolf once said, “I ransack libraries and find them full of sunken treasure.” ― Lili Valente, Meant for You
“And that, gorgeous, is the most important of the services I deliver. I give you back to you, the only person who can be trusted to steer your course as you ride off into the sunset.” ― Lili Valente, Magnificent Bastard
“My house. Where I live. Where I have clothes to put on and tea and there are no big dumb men who can’t remember me.” Holy” ― Lili Valente, The Bad Boy's Temptation
“she would never be too old for cartoons.” ― Lili Valente, Desperate Domination
“I’m not being nice, I’m being truthful,” ― Lili Valente, Deep Domination
“There was too much magic in the world to become bitter and jaded and growing up didn’t have to mean growing old.” ― Lili Valente, Desperate Domination
