  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #4

    Daughter, we didn't need your note - or a prince's visit - to tell us you'd done nothing wrong. We know the daughter we raised. We fear for your future, but never for your character. You take our love and our trust wherever you wander.
    Father.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #5

    Do you like to slide? His voice was eager.
    Stair rails! Did he suspect me? I forced a sigh. No, Majesty. I'm terrified of heights.
    Oh. His polite tone had returned.
    I wish I could enjoy it. This fear of heights is an affliction.
    He nodded, a show of sympathy but not much interest. I was losing him.
    Especially, I added, as I've grown taller.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #6

    Drualt took Freya's warm hand,
    Her strong hand,
    Her sword hand,
    And pressed it to his lips,
    Pressed it to his heart.
    Come with me,' he said.
    Come with me to battle,
    My love. Tarry at my side.
    Stay with me
    When battle is done.
    Tarry at my side.
    Laugh with me,
    And walk with me
    The long, long way.
    Tarry with me,
    My love, at my side.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #8

    Hush Hattie! I said, intoxicated with my success. I don't want to go to my room. Everyone must know I shan't marry the prince. I ran to the door to our street, opened it, and called out into the night, I shan't marry the prince. I turned back into the hall and ran to Char and threw my arms about his neck. I shan't marry you. I kissed his cheek. He was safe from me.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #12

    I rode all day.
    I cried all night.
    The moon didn’t glow.
    The sun didn’t rise.
    A comet blazed
    Between my eyes.
    West and South,
    Wind and rain.
    Every way is
    Just the same.
    Pray give me a box
    To hide inside.
    Pray give me a spade
    To dig my own grave.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #13

    I want to be with you forever and beyond...

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #14

    I wonder how Admat can be everywhere. Is he in my sandal? Or is he my sandal itself? Why would a god bother to be a sandal? Does he wear shoes or sandals himself, invisible ones?

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #15

    I'm solitary as a pulled tooth,
    Lonely as an unwelcome truth,
    Lost as a minnow out of school,
    A genius in a crop of fools.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #20

    No sign of pleasure greeted the announcement. The mood in the hall was leaden.
    My mood was livelier. Fright is livelier than lead.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #21

    Oak, granite,
    Lilies by the road,
    Remember me?
    I remember you.
    Clouds brushing
    Clover hills,
    Remember me?
    Sister, child,
    Grown tall,
    Remember me?
    I remember you.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #22

    She asks why I like her.
    Might as well ask
    Why I breathe.
    Maybe tomorrow I won't
    Breathe or like her
    Anymore.
    Maybe tomorrow the tides
    Will stop.
    Maybe tomorrow will bring
    No more rainbows.
    Maybe tomorrow
    She will stop
    Asking useless questions.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #23

    Step follows step,
    Hope follows Courage,
    Set your face towards danger,
    Set your heart on victory.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #24

    There's nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you've read only once can't.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #25

    To me, merely and pretty were words that had nothing to do with each other. Pretty went with miraculously, and merely belonged in another paragraph entirely.

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #26

    Voices and faces aren't manifestations
    of good or bad.

    When you become a teenager, you step onto a bridge. You may already be on it. The opposite shore is adulthood. Childhood lies behind. The bridge is made of wood. As you cross, it burns behind you

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #29

    Who judges the judge who judges wrong?

  • Gail Carson Levine Quote #30

    Who judges the judge who judges wrong?
    The sentence too weak,
    The sentence too strong.
    The penance too quick,
    The penance too long.
    Who judges the judge who judges wrong?
