Frases de Karen Marie Moning

“Aplazar las cosas está en el número tres de mi Lista de Estupideces. Sigues terminando exactamente donde no querías estar, haciendo exactamente lo que no querías hacer, con la única diferencia de que perdiste todo el tiempo en el medio, durante el cual podrías haber estado haciendo algo divertido. Incluso peor, probablemente estuviste de un humor estresado y desagradable todo el tiempo que estuviste evitándolo. Si sabes que algo es inevitable, hazlo y termina con ello. Avanza. La vida es corta.”

“No puedo creer que Dios juegue a los dados con el cosmos. ALBERT EINSTEIN

Como si todos los hombres no lo estuvieran de todas formas, incluso sin el gen licantrópico.”

Soy sexo en estado puro que te volverá del revés y te consumirá hasta dejarte reducida a cenizas. -Sonrió-. Y si quiero, luego puedo volver a hacer que estés entera.”

“Fuego para su frío, hielo para su fuego”

“The two of you are getting downright chatty, aren't you, Ms. Lane? When did you last see him? what else did he tell you?

“Oooh! Stop that. When you smile at me I want all of it."
"What?" He looked confused”

“Safety is a fence, and fences are for sheep. I would rather die at twenty-two, knowing the truth, then live in a cage of lies for a hundred years.”

“I wondered what one wore to visit a vampire. The chic red sweater set didn't go so well with my darker hair, and I was afraid it might be construed as a flirtatious invitation to color me bloodier.”

“No wonder Barrons was so determined to keep me alive, and I had a Fae prince playing lapdog, and the Lord Master hadn't yet launched a full scale attack against me. They allme alive. I was Tigger. I was the only one.”

“I was adrift in a sea of questions and if answers were lifeboats, I was in imminent danger of drowning.”
