“Yeah, but broken isn't the same as unfixable.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Thorne scoffed. â€�Careful is my middle name. Right after Suave and Daring.â€�
“Do you even know what you're saying half the time?â€� asked Cinder.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“One should never save cake for later when it can be eaten now.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“She was prettier than a bouquet of roses and crazier than a headless chicken. Fitting in was not an option.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Did you see any rice in there? Maybe we could fill Cinder's head with it."

Everyone stared at him.

"You know, to...absorb the moisture, or something. Isn't that a thing?"

"We're not putting rice in my head.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“A kiss from the Captain would probably melt my central processor.â€�
Thorne winked at her. “Oh trust me. It would.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“What did you bring me today? Delusional mutterings with a side of crazy?”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“And they all lived happily to the end of their days.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“She would be brave. She would be heroic. She would make her own destiny.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“See that eye roll? It translates to, ‘How am I possibly keeping my hands off of you, Captain?”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“I passed out from stress? That’s it?â€�
“I believe the princess term is fainted,â€� said Thorne.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“My point is that I am going to figure this out, like I always do. First, we’re going to find a way to get into Artemisia. We’re going to find Cress and rescue Cinder and Wolf. We’re going to overthrow Levana, and by the stars above, we are going to make Cinder a queen so she can pay us a lot of money from her royal coffers and we can all retire very rich and very alive, got it?"

Winter started to clap. "Brilliant speech. Such gumption and bravado."

"And yet strangely lacking in any sort of actual strategy," said Scarlet.

"Oh, good, I'm glad you noticed that too," said Iko. "I was worried my processor might be glitching.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“She definitely has a crush on you. It's about the size of Jupiter.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“I'm going to make it a law that the correct way to address your sovereign is my giving a high five.' Kai's smiled brightened. 'That's genius. Me too.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Captain?"
"Cress."
She couldn't not say it, although she realized he was right.It was sort of scary. Much scarier than it had been the first time she'd told him, out in the desert. It was different now. It was real. "I'm in love with you."

He chuckled. "I should hope so, after all that." He leaned forward and pressed a kiss against her temple. "And I love you too.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“If this emperor thing doesn’t work out, you might have a future career in espionage.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“I don't hear anything."
"Exactly. That's what happens when you *stop talking*.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“You're a good guy, Thorne." She paused. "Well, you have your moments.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Scarlet and I are going to start a missing-fingers club. We might let Cinder be an honorary member.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“It’s just like the one Scarlet had.â€� He flipped the gun in his palms, running his thumbs along the barrel. “She shot me in the arm once.â€�

This confession was said with as much tenderness as if Scarlet had given him a bouquet of wildflowers rather than a bullet wound.

Cress and the others traded sorrowful looks.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Winter reached over and pulled the pilot’s harness over Scarlet’s head. “Safety first, Scarlet-friend. We are fragile things.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Emperor, right." she retacked the curtain "That's weird to say, after eighteen years of listening to celebrity gossip feeds go on and on about 'Earth's favorite prince'". She claimed one of the lumpy sofa cushions, curling her legs beneath her. "I had a picture of him taped to my wall when I was fifteen. Grand-mere cut it off a cereal box."

Wolf scowled.

"Of course, half the girls in the world probably have had that same picture from that same cereal box."

Wolf scrunched his shoulders against his neck, and Scarlet grinned, teasing. "Oh, no. You're not going to have to fight him for pack dominance now are you? Come here."

She beckoned him with a wave of her hand and he was at her side in half a second, the glower softening as he pulled her against his chest.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“He growled at her. Scarlet growled back.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“I would have killed everyone of them to get to you. I would have done anything to get you back. Knowing that we were coming here was the only thing that kept me sane.â€� His brow creased. “Though there were a couple times when I went a little insane anyway.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Ze'ev failed to mention he was in love with you." Scarlet could feel her cheeks turning as red as her hair.
Thorne muttered, "How could you not tell?" Cinder kicked him.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Iko, did we break into that guardhouse and broadcast Cinder's message across all of Luna?"
"Yes, Captain."
"And, Scarlet, did I rescue you and Wolf when the entire city of Paris was under siege?"
She raised an eyebrow at him. "Actually, I'm pretty sure Cinder-"
"Yes, I did.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“Winter’s head snapped around, away from Scarlet. Scarlet’s pace slowed, dread pulsing through her as she, too, heard the footsteps. Pounding footsteps, like someone was running at full speed toward them. She reached for the knife Jacin had given her. A man barrelled around the corner, heading straight for the princess. Winter tensed half a second before he reached her. Grabbing Winter’s elbow, he yanked back the red hood.
Scarlet gasped. Her knees weakened. The man stared at Winter with a mixture of confusion and disappointment and maybe even anger, all locked up in eyes so vividly green that Scarlet could see them glowing from here. She was the one hallucinating now.
She took a stumbling, uncertain step forward. Wanting to run toward him, but terrified it was a trick. Her hand tightened around the knife handle as Wolf, ignoring how Winter was trying to pull away, grabbed her arm and smelled the filthy red sleeve of Scarlet’s hoodie, streaked with dirt and blood. He growled, ready to tear the princess apart. “Where did you get this?� So desperate, so determined, so him. The knife slipped out of Scarlet’s hand. Wolf’s attention snapped to her. “Wolf?� she whispered.
His eyes brightened, wild and hopeful. Releasing Winter, he strode forward. His tumultuous eyes scooped over her. Devoured her.
When he was in arm’s reach, Scarlet almost collapsed into him, but at the last moment she had the presence of mind to step back. She planted a hand on his chest. Wolf froze, hurt flickering across his face.
“I’m sorry,� said Scarlet, her voice teetering with exhaustion. “It’s just…I smell so awful, I can hardly stand to be around myself right now, so I can’t even imagine what it’s like for you with your sense of sm-�
Batting her hand away, Wolf dug his fingers into Scarlet’s hair and crushed his mouth against hers. Her protests died with a muffled gasp. This time, she did collapse, her legs unable to hold her a second longer. Wolf fell with her, dropping his knees to break Scarlet’s fall and cradling her body against his. He was here. He was here.”

“They are going to laugh at you and mock you and then they are going to—â€� “Eat me. Yes. I understand.â€� “You don’t seem to be grasping the meaning behind the words. This isn’t a metaphor. I’m talking about huge teeth and digestive systems.â€� “Fat and bones and marrow and meat,â€� Winter sang. “We only wanted a snack to eat.â€� Scarlet grunted. “You can be so disturbing.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter

“And once we get Scarlet back, she and wold are going to retire to some farm in France and have a litter of baby wolf cubs.”
― Marissa Meyer, Winter
