Цитаты из книги Pieśń syreny

I`ve never paid mind to legends, unless I`m the legend of discussion.

"I have a plan; the least you can do is have faith." "Except that your plans always end in scars."

"So this map will lead us to the crystal?" asks Kye. I shrug. "Maybe just to our deaths." He places a hand on my shoulder. "Have some confidence," he tells me. "You haven`t steered us wrong yet." "That just means nobody will be prepared when I do."

"You`re always looking for something," he says. "There`s always something to find." "If you`re not careful, the only thing you`ll find is danger." "Maybe that`s exactly what I`m looking for."

They`re incapable of being anything other than what they are. I envy that.

Pain doesn`t always hurt.

I share many things with my sister, but never how it feels to be a killer. I like the idea of Amara seeing me as a hero, and killers are so very often villains.

Technically, I`m a murderer, but I like to think that`s one of my better qualities.

How strange that instead of taking his heart, I'm hoping he takes mine.

We don't do anything but pretend there's something other than darkness and choices woven from the nightmare ahead of us both.

"Wars aren't won by running", she says. "You can't win a war," I tell her. "Someone else just loses".

“Just so you know,” I say to Lira, “if you’re lying, I might kill you.” Lira tips her chin up, eyes defiant and too blue for me to look at her straight. At first I’m not sure if she’s going to say anything back, but then she licks her lips and I know it’s because she can taste the sweet- ness of whatever insult she’s about to throw. “Maybe,” she says as the light whimpers against her skin, “I might just kill you first.”

I could be the perfect monster and it wouldn't change a thing. If I dissapoint her, I'm a failure. But if I excel, I prove my worth as a ruler and that's a far greater sin.

Eidyllio is a land devoted to romance. They celebrate love as though it's power, even though it has killed far more humans than I ever have. I would rather be surrounded by the blinding gold of Midas than be in a kingdom where emotion is currency.

"I didn't think I was going to be interrogated." "Did the cage not give it away?" "I didn't see a cage." I arch my neck, peering behind him as if I hadn't noticed my looming prison. "Your charm must have masked it." Eline shakes his head to hide the growing smile.

- Lies aren't answers - But they sound so much better than the truth

Никогда не расстраивайся, не злись и не медли. Будь в ответе за собсвтенную жизнь и судьбу.

До сих пор не могу привыкнуть к тому, как звучит мое имя в его устах. Словно одна из моих песен. Мелодий сладостных настолько же, насколько смертельных.

Кажется, он никогда не выглядит совершенным. Каждая деталь в нем кричит о нарочитой неопрятности, заметной, даже когда Элиан стоит среди столь разношерстной команды. Похоже, так он пытается влиться в общество воров и пройдох, которых собрал под крылом, точно как я подстраивалась под представления матери об истинной сирене. И потому я знаю, что эти попытки бесплодны.

«Саад» - дом, здесь они в безопасности и на пару драгоценных минут могут наконец опустить свои щиты. Для них море никогда не несло настоящей угрозы. Даже наполненное сиренами, акулами и прочими тварями, что за считаные секунды могут проглотить человека целиком. По-настоящему опасны только люди. Они непредсказуемы. Они лгут и предают. И от «Саад» они сейчас далеко-далеко.
