“And the infinite captivates us because it allows us to believe all things are possible. That true love can last beyond time.”

Renée Ahdieh,
The Beautiful
“It's easy to lose sight of what's real when you're lost in the stars.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“She was no lamb. She was a lion.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“When life becomes difficult. the only source of strength we have is love. Love of others, love of self, love of life in its entirety.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“Trust in this important lesson I learned long ago: Rage is a moment. Regret is forever.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“We forget our dreams, but our nightmares linger with us evermore.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“One day, someone should tell you how beautiful you are in the moonlight," Bastien said softly.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“What I am has no bearing on who I become.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Damned
“We must taste the bitter before we can appreciate the sweet.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“Didn't you know, darlin'?" he drawled."All the best saints are sinners.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“I am not so captivated by the beautiful, monsieur." Celine met his gaze without wavering. "For I know beauty is only a moment in time.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“But a greater fear lurked deep in Celine. Past the rush of blood, into the marrow of her bones. No matter where she went, danger followed. And it horrified her. Just as it thrilled her.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“But never is a long time, when you have eternity to consider.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Damned
“In only a few short weeks, Celine had learned to appreciate how the city seemed to come alive the moment the sun dipped below the horizon. Not a normal kind of alive, like sunshine and laughter. But a sinister, sensual kind of alive. A warm caress and a cool whisper.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“Then you’re no doubt well aware that a scrapper from East India would never be permitted to work as a barrister in any circle of significance.” Tucking his bowler hat beneath his arm, Arjun stored the coriander cutting inside the breast pocket of his grey frock coat. “That’s by design, in case you didn’t know.” He laughed to himself. “Not all of us believe in such notions,” Pippa said softly. “That may be true,” he said, “but all of you definitely benefit from it.” Pippa paled as she struggled to respond.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“Men are wretched, my dear. I've sworn off them entirely. I'll keep them as friends, but they remain forever unwelcome in my heart.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“Each time you evade me, I only want you more.You cannot escape. You are mine.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
“Real love may be a choice, but I plan to choose someone who steals the breath from my body and haunts my very dreams. That is the only kind of love worth having.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Damned
“I don’t want you risking yourself for me,” he continued, his voice unhurried. “Not anymore.”“I’m not risking myself for you,” Mariko retorted. “I’m here for me. Because I still have things I wish to accomplish with my life.” She refocused her attention on the misshapen mass. Slowly began chiseling away twisted fragments of wax, using a lacquered chopstick she’d pilfered from her evening meal. “It turns out my wishes have something to do with you.” ― Renée Ahdieh, Smoke in the Sun
