Цитаты из книг — Шарон Ли

"О Драконах следует помнить следующее: иметь с ними дело способны только особые люди. Если вы будете им лгать, они станут вас обкрадывать. Если вы нападёте на них без причины, они растерзают вас. Если вы броситесь от них в бегство, они вас засмеют. Таким образом, вести себя с Драконами следует спокойно, открыто и честно.…

"It`s official," he told me. "The hole in your arm was caused by a bullet." I blinked at him. "Imagine." He shook his head, pulled two pieces of paper from his clipboard and brandished them under my nose. "Prescriptions. One for painkillers. One for antibiotics." A third piece of paper came off the clipboard and was duly…

"Might be time to ask that question again," he said quietly. "Can you do this?" I took a deep breath, tasting grass, salt, and leaf. "I have to do this," I said, as firmly as I could. Borgan shook his head. "Have to isn`t can," he said.

"Could you turn it off, please?" I asked politely. "It?" "The glamor. I`m not going to be able to do this at all if I`m thinking about how nice it would be ot kiss you." Borgan lifted an eyebrow, and I added a hasty, "For instance." "Hadn`t thought of that," he said. "Though I think it would be nice to kiss you, too. Time…

"He taught me to swim," I told Borgan. He looked startled, and I threw my hands up in exasperation. Everybody -- Gran, Nerazi, Mr. Ignat`, and, yes, Tarva -- had been astonished and amused to find out that I hadn`t known a doggy paddle from a dalmatian when I arrived in Archers Beach. "Yes, I was born into a House of the…

You got a real gift for storytelling, by the way. Every tale you give out hints at six you haven`t. Makes it hard for a man to know where to start asking his questions.

"It was fine," I whispered, like Gran soothing away one of my numerous nightmares, when I`d been a kid. "Everything`s fine." With the possible exception of myself.

High Magic exists in all the Six Worlds, though it`s by no means evenly distributed. The Real World, like we like to say it, has the least. That`s because there`s so much change here -- or so my tutor had it, back when I lived in my grandfather`s house. According to him, the change creates an energy state that polarizes…

Silence stretched while he considered the sea over my left shoulder. At least, I thought he was looking at the sea, though it could`ve been the sky again, or the ragged blotches of Blunt and Stafford islands -- or a fleet of Viking ships. It was impossible to tell which -- or any -- from his expression, though I told…

"Look, Kate. Why don`t you let me buy you a cup of coffee?" I gasped, startled into a laugh. "No, thanks," I said, shortly. "I`ve got work to do." His mouth tightened; then he gave me a brief nod. "Right. Dinner then. I`ll pick you up at eight." With that, he was gone, moving quick and quiet, across the room and out the…

I closed my eyes again, and took an experimental breath, deliberately drawing the salt air down deep into my lungs. Different -- so different from the stuff I`d been breathing. Air was supposed to invigorate you, to give you a reason to rise and do battle with the challenges of the day, setting your blood to bubbling and…

"You should wear gloves, my lady; the wind has teeth." "Every time I wear gloves, I ruin them," I told her, truthfully. "And thus you wisdom teaches you that it is better to ruin your hands."

No matter how many words they use to say it, people only ever leave home for two reasons. Money, that`s one. Love -- that`s the other.
