         _{BOOK STARTERS VOL.26     ( GRACELING )    ( KRISTIN CASHORE )   ( PART I )}

1. ❛ I’m very pleased you’ve come with me. ❜
   
2. ❛ If there’s anyone I wish to stun at dinner, I’ll hit them in the face. ❜
   
3. ❛ When a monster stops behaving like a monster, does it stop being a monster? Does it become something else? ❜
   
4. ❛ How absurd it is that the weakest and most vulnerable of people – girls, women – go unarmed and are taught nothing of fighting, while the strong are trained to the highest reaches of their skill. ❜
   
5. ❛ What are you grinning at? ❜
   
6. ❛ Is the ceiling about to cave in on my head or something? You look like we’re both on the verge of an enormous joke. ❜
   
7. ❛ Only you would consider the collapse of the ceiling a good joke. ❜
   
8. ❛ I’m afraid to tell you what I wish for, for fear you’ll… oh, I don’t know, throw me into the fire. ❜
   
9. ❛ You’re more dear to my heart than I ever knew anyone could be. ❜
   
10. ❛ I’ll teach you how to defend yourself, how to maim a man. ❜
    
11. ❛ Wonderful — It’s quite boring really, the way you beat me to death with your hands and feet. It’ll be refreshing to have you come at me with a knife. ❜
    
12. ❛ Forgive me, I was only trying to get your attention. ❜
    
13. ❛ I suppose it never occurs to you to start small. If I told you my roof needed rebuilding, you’d start by knocking down the house. ❜
    
14. ❛ Almost as beautiful as you are conceited. ❜
    
15. ❛ You saved my life. I’m going to name my firstborn child after you. ❜
    
16. ❛ I’ve heard you can kill a man with the nail of your smallest finger. ❜
    
17. ❛ Does it make it easier? To have beautiful eyes? Does it lighten the burden of your Grace, to know you have beautiful eyes? ❜
    
18. ❛ It seems better to me for a child to have these skills and never use them, than not have them and one day need them. ❜
    
19. ❛ I wouldn’t marry him to save my life. Not even to save yours. ❜
    
20. ❛ I know you’re teasing me. And you should know I’m not easily humiliated. ❜
    
21. ❛ I should have stuck to my lies. It was the truth that almost had me killed, after all. ❜
    
22. ❛ When you’re a monster, you are thanked and praised for not behaving like a monster. ❜
    
23. ❛ I would like to restrain from cruelty and receive no admiration for it. ❜
    
24. ❛ Mercy is more frightening than murder, because it is harder. ❜
    
25. ❛ Your brand of comfort bears some similarity to your tactical offence. ❜
    
26. ❛ The only way for you to keep your mind straight is to run from those who would confuse you. ❜
    
27. ❛ How long will you be? I’d like to show you a couple of my new discoveries. ❜
    
28. ❛ I thought it was supposed to be impossible to sneak up on you. Eyes of a hawk and ears of a wolf and all. ❜
    
29. ❛ I’ll protect you. You’ll be safe with me. ❜
    
30. ❛ Let me explain what will happen the instant one of your men makes a move toward me. I’ll get out of the room alive, but most of the rest of you will be dead. ❜
    
31. ❛ I didn’t know you were capable of such bad temper. ❜
    
32. ❛ You’re afraid of your own anger. ❜
    
33. ❛ What have you done to yourself? Your hair is positively blue. ❜
    
34. ❛ There’s no shame in crawling when one can’t walk. ❜
    
35. ❛ Don’t be ashamed. Your sadness is dear to me. ❜
    
36. ❛ Don’t be frightened. I won’t die. I won’t die, and we’ll meet again. ❜
    
37. ❛ The colour of sunrise? It’s the colour of blood. I am not going to wear a red dress. ❜
    
38. ❛ Everyone has some kind of power to hurt people. ❜
    
39. ❛ Please, at least talk to me. ❜
    
40. ❛ And how I feel? Doesn’t it matter? ❜
    
41. ❛ I can’t know your feelings if you don’t know them yourself. ❜
    
42. ❛ I will have a life, even though I carry this burden. ❜
    
43. ❛ If I’d been trying to kill him, he’d be dead. ❜
    
44. ❛ I told you before, I won’t fight when you’re angry. I won’t solve a disagreement between us with blows. ❜
    
45. ❛ We’re too dangerous to each other. ❜

“You did this to yourself?”
“Hey, hey. Calm down, okay? What got you in such a state?”
“Do you need help? Professional help?”
“Well, to me it just looks like you’re being lazy.”
“You can’t be afraid of everything. I bet you’re just doing this to be interesting.”

“Don’t give me that. I give myself a hard enough time already. Harder than you could possibly imagine so PLEASE just leave me alone.”

“I know there’s nothing I can say to make it better, so maybe you should just let me hug you for a while?”
