Deadly Quotes

“ Those candle flames were like the lives of

men. So fragile. So deadly. Left alone, they
lit and warmed. Let run rampant, they
would destroy the very things they were
meant to illuminate. Embryonic bonfires,
each bearing a seed of destruction so potent
it could tumble cities and dash kings to their
knees.
Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings (The
Stormlight Archive, #1)

“ The men stop coming after Hunt goes

missing. We learned from the last brave soul
to visit that they whispered all sorts of
stories to answer his disappearance. My
favorite is that we ate him. We cooked him
up with our whore-earned corn, a dozen
rats’ eyes, and a bat wing.

Even I couldn’t have thought of anything

more perfect.

“ Alice thought the supposedly toxic plant

seemed perfectly harmless. The flowers
resembled bell-shaped slippers, grouped in
satisfying lines that hung from the main
stalk as though weighted from their centers.
"This one? It's actually quite pretty."
"Isn't it?"
"The previous owner must have loved it.
There's quite a lot." Alice noted aside from
the bunch in front of her, it grew in two
other spots in the garden.
"It seems she did," Sally said. "The plant
also has another name; maybe you've heard
of it? Digitalis purpurea."
"Doesn't sound familiar."
"They use foxgloves to make digitalis, the
heart medication." Sally put her glove back
on. "But touching any part of the plant-
leaves, flower, stem- with bare hands can
cause a whole host of trouble.

“ You wouldn’t do anything to make me hurt

you,” he prompted, and she shook her head
quickly.

“No,” she whispered.

“Good.” He let his arm drape out the open

window, breathing in the air. The night was
approaching its dewpoint, tinging the breeze
with the smell of dust and wet wool. “I’ve
started to look forward to our nights
together. I’d hate for you to disappoint me
now.
