my favorite soc and ck quotes ~ ⚠️NOT SPOILER FREE⚠️

-"facts are for the unimaginative."

-"let me tell you a secret hanna. the really bad monsters never look like monsters."

-"Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart."

-"'It's not natural for women to fight.'

'It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, and yet there you stand.'"

-"When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing."

-"Please, my darling Inej, treasure of my heart, won’t you do me the honor of acquiring me a new hat?"

-"I’m going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And i'm going to get my girl."

-"Kaz, this whole 'shoot me' thing is starting to concern me."

-"We'll be Kings and Queens, Inej. Kings and Queens."

-"But I'll die on my feet with a knife in my hand."

-“'How will you have me?” she repeated. “Fully clothed, gloves on, your head turned away so our lips can never touch?'.....'I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.'"

-"Shame holds more value than coin ever can."

-"what doesn't kill me better run"

-"'He's horrible.'

'But effective. Being angry at Kaz for being ruthless is like being angry at a stove for being hot.'"

-"I'm the kind of bastard they only manufacture in the barrel"

-“You can’t kiss me from down there, Wylan.”

-"If any of you survive, make sure I have an open casket,"....."The world deserves a few more moments with this face."

-"Are we going to read to each other?"

"Just flip it open to the back."

Jesper opened the book and peered at the last page, puzzled. "So?"

"Hold it up so we don't have to look at your ugly face."

"My face has character. Besides - oh!"

"An excellent read, isn't it?"

"Who knew I had a taste for literature?"

-"A secret’s not like coin. It doesn’t keep its value in spending."

-"We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary."

-"I just don't get it. I've spent my whole life hiding the things I can't do. Why run from the amazing things you can do?"

-"We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns."

-"She'd smiled. He'd smiled. She'd wanted to claw his face to shreds."

-"Crows remember human faces. They remember the people who feed them, who are kind to them. And the people who wrong them too."

-"Suffering is like anything else. Live with it long enough, you learn to like the taste."

-"How many times have you told me you're a monster? So be a monster. Be the thing they all fear when they close their eyes at night."

-"You can only sharpen a blade so far. In the end, it comes down to the quality of the metal."

-"Sometimes the trick to getting the best of a situation was just to wait. If you didn’t like the weather, you didn’t rush into the storm—you waited until it changed. You found a way to keep from getting wet."

-"I would come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together. knives drawn, pistols blazing. because that's what we do."

-"But maybe being brave didn’t mean being unafraid"

-"She was the Queen of Mourning, and in its depths, she would never drown."

-"But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary."

-"jogS tHe liVer!"

-“I am going to turn your teeth inside out.”

“That is physically impossible.”

"i just raised the dead. do you really want to argue with me?"

-"Her voice was gentle, patient — why was it making him want to set fire to something?"

-"Do not lick Wyvil. Does someone want to write that down?"

-"Two of the deadliest people the Barrel had to offer and they could barely touch each other without both of them keeling over."
