"Why," he began slowly, "is Victor Dashkov joining us?"
Richelle Mead
"Well, it's kind of a funny story . . ."Rose Quote #2
-Then… it was like… I don’t even know how to describe it. Color and light and music and life and joy and love… so many wonderful things, all the lovely things that make up the world and make it worth living.

The Devil's Rose
Richelle E. Goodrich
You would never take a rose from a beast.
If his callous hand were to hold out a scarlet flower, his grip unaffected by pricking thorns, you would shrink from the gift and refuse it. I know that is what you would do.
But the cunning beast will have his beauty.
He hunts not in hopeless pursuit, for fear would have you sprint all the day long. Thus, he turns toward the shadows and clutches the rosebud, crunching and twisting until every delicate petal is detached. One falls not far from your feet, and you notice the red spot in the snow.
The color sparkles in the sunlight, catching your curious eye. No beast stands in sight; there is nothing to fear, so you dare retrieve the lone petal. The touch of temptation is velvet against your thumb. It carries a scent you bring to your nose, and both eyes close to float on a cloud of perfume.
As your lashes lift, another scarlet drop stains the snow at a near distance. A glance around perceives no danger, and so your footprints scar the snowflakes to retrieve another rosy leaflet as soft and sweet as the first. Your eyes shine with flecks of golden greed at the discovery of more discarded petals, and you blame the wind for scattering them mere footprints apart. All you want is a few, so you step and snatch, step and snatch, step and snatch.
Soon, there is enough velvet to rub against your cheek like a silken kerchief. Your collection of one-plus-one-more reeks of floral essence.
Distracted, you jump at the sight of the beast in your path. He stands before his lair, grinning without love. His callous hands grip at thorns on a single naked stem, and you look down at your own hands that now cup his rose. But how can it be? You would never take a rose from a beast. You would shrink from the gift and refuse it. He knows that is what you would do.Rose Quote #4
Why Roses Crave Thorns
Richelle E. Goodrich
Petals detach from a wilting bud—a single stem plucked before fully blossomed. They descend in hesitant swirls, too soft and limp to shatter like teardrops. One by one they light to blanket a single shadow below.
She is a rose, young and innocent, with beauty incomparable to shame all others. She has flowered enough to stop the observer in his tracks, awestruck. He is compelled to reach out and touch. The petals delight at a silken caress, her bud everything desirable but defenseless—without a sharp edge to make an admirer pause, to warn the intrusive hand. ‘Stay back! Stay back!’
His fingers curl around the stem to tug, and suddenly the rose craves a thorn.
It is madness not to want her and yet madness to cut her down. Let the flower thrive and blush to someday flaunt layers of silken favors! But the world will not have it. A single stem is severed in a selfish moment of desire—a yearning to hold and possess.
Alone and forgotten her petals cry, raining in hesitant swirls where they accumulate to blanket her shadow below. Dry, withered, craving the thorns. Beautiful no more.Rose Quote #5
?here isn't much I wouldn't do for you. ?he stupider, the better.
Richelle MeadRose Quote #6
A book about books is like a poem about poetry:
Will Advise
Books are knowledge, paid for, all.
Readers - horses in a stall.
Stallions should always run.
Lest they stale become, in turn.
Running waters are most clear.
In some books, you disappear –
lose yourself, and track of time.
How I wish that one was mine...
Mine, to have, to write, to read...
Mine, just like a flying steed.
Mine, forever, - to improve.
Would I then, of me, approve?
I would not, I can't... myself.
I'm but dust, swept off a shelf.
Fly, can I, just 'til I'm settled,
down, beside my flower, petalled.Rose Quote #7
A Dragon Rose is a flying flower that breathes fire. A relationship isn’t truly a romance if there isn’t a tiny element of danger involved.
Jarod KintzRose Quote #8
A fierce hand gripped my chest, squeezing my lungs. No. it wasn't my lungs. It was my heart. It was breaking.
Anna Sheehan
Wasn't I stronger than this?Rose Quote #9
A gun I had been brought down by a gun. It was practically comical. Cheaters, I thought. I’d spent my life focusing on hand to hand combat, learning to dodge fangs and powerful hands that could snap my neck. A gun? It was so… well, easy. Should I be insulted? I didn’t know. Did it matter? I didn’t know that either. All I knew in that moment was that I was going to die, regardless.
Richelle MeadRose Quote #10
A love poem about the most invisible woman:
Will Advise
The perfect mind, the perfect cover.
I knew her, like… there was no other.
No, I will never, her, forget.
In pure blood - these words are set.
She walks alone now, in my dreams,
where no is never, so it seems.
The night is dark, and near the hour –
to plant a tree, where roses flower.
And then, again, again, once more,
Till hidden is what I adore.
Her heart was pure, and also kind,
And I… should not have acted blind.Rose Quote #11
A pale, slightly luminescent form materialized in front of us. Mason. He looked the same as ever-or did he? The usual sadness was there, but I could see something else, something else I couldn't quite put my finger on. Panic? Frustration? I could have almost sworn it was fear, but honestly, what would a ghost have to be afraid of.
Richelle Mead
What's wrong? asked Dimitri.
Do you see him? I whispered.
Dimitri followed my gaze. See who?
Mason.
Mason's troubled expression grew darker. I might not have been able to adequately identify it, but I knew it wasn't anything good. The nauseous feeling within me intensified, but somehow, I knew it had nothing to do with him.
Rose...we should go back... said Dimitri carefully. He still wasn't on board with me seeing ghosts.
But I didn't move. Mason's face was saying something else to me-or trying to. There was something here, something important that I needed to know. But he couldn't communicate it.
What? I asked. What is it?
A look of frustration crossed his face. He pointed off behind me, the dropped his hand.
Tell me, I said, my frustration mirroring his. Dimitri was looking back and forth between me and Mason, though mason was probably only and empty space to him.
I was too fixated on Mason to worry what Dimitri might think. There was something here. Something big. Mason opened his mouth, wanting to speak as in previous times but still unable to get the words out. Except, this time, after several agonizing seconds, he managed it. The words were nearly inaudible.
They're...coming....Rose Quote #12
A rose is a mix of thorns with a flower, and is therefore half fuck you and half fuck me. If I gave you a dozen, would you fuck me 12 times?
Jarod KintzRose Quote #13
A rose is a mixture of flower and thorns, which means it’s half “Let’s fuck,” and half “fuck you.
Jarod KintzRose Quote #14
A rose symbolizes my love for you, because it’s dying.?
Jarod KintzRose Quote #15
A rose will wilt in short time, but my garden is more vivacious for having one in it. Love is even more fragrant, but often just as fragile and fleeting, but I eagerly accept the joy of it now, knowing the cost is the pain of loss later.
Jarod KintzRose Quote #16
A rose without its thorns would be too perfect to be admired.
Chirag Tulsiani
Similarly, people without imperfections would be apathetic.Rose Quote #17
A rose, isn't quite as beautiful as it once was, when after its thorn pricks you.
Anthony LiccioneRose Quote #18
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom.
AnonymousRose Quote #19
After almost exactly three hours, we rolled into a small hole of a town that had one traffic light and a resturant simply marked DINER. There hadn't been any traffic on the road for over an hour, though, which was really the most important thing. We hadn't been followed.
Richelle Mead
Sydney drove us to a building with a sign that read MOTEL. Apparently this town liked to stick to the basics when it came to names. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually just called TOWN.Rose Quote #20
After the bitching I'd done to Abe about going to remote, crappy places, I should have been excited about the prospect of going to Sin City.
Richelle MeadRose Quote #21
All these pricks gathering around her body, trying to reach and pierce her rose.
Anthony LiccioneRose Quote #22
and afterward, after it was done, it was too much, and I felt like I was going to... I don't know.... explode, and it was just too much, I had to let it out you know? I had to-
Richelle Mead
I interrupted her hysteria It's okay, I understand.
That was a lie. I didn't get her cutting at all. She'd done it sporadically, ever since the accident and it scared me each time. She'd try to explain it to me, how she didn't want to die - she just needed to get it out somehow. She felt so much emotionally, she would say, that a physical outlet - physical pain - was the only way to make her internal pain go away. It was the only way she could control it.Rose Quote #23
And so, surpassing my own records for dangerous, reckless behavior, I ripped off Sonya's bracelet.
Richelle Mead
I'm Rose Hathaway.Rose Quote #24
And the sculptors will shape the soil for the writers to stretch the seeds
Kristen Henderson
for the patient painters who sketch the petals they will shade in alabaster and gold. Their sweat is the rain. Maybe the jazzman will send us a rose.Rose Quote #25
And you are with us and one of us, and we are the people of the moon and the stars.
Anne RiceRose Quote #26
And you know,you really have made your point with Aaron and Mia. You don't have to keep him around to keep hanging out with the royals.”
Richelle Mead
Why do I keep getting the feeling you don't like him anymore?”
I like him okay—which is about as much as you like him. And I don't think you should get hot and sweaty with people you only like 'okay'.“
Lissa widened her eyes in pretend astonishment. Is this Rose Hathaway talking? Have you reformed? Or do you have someone you like 'more than okay'?”
Hey I said uncomfortably, I'm just looking out for you.That, and I never noticed how boring Aaron is before.”
She scoffed. You think everyone's boring.”
Christian isn't.Rose Quote #27
And, finally, I noticed that a hot flush was spreading over me, and that the look in his eyes was doing more to me than Jesse's kisses had. Dimitri was quiet and distant sometimes, but he also had a dedication and an intensity that I'd never seen in any other person. I wondered how that kind of power and strength translated into…well, sex. I wondered what it'd be like for him to touch me and—shit!
Richelle Mead
What was I thinking? Was I out of my mind? Embarrassed, I covered my feelings with attitude.
You see something you like? I asked.
Get dressed.Rose Quote #28
Any nose
Robert Browning
May ravage with impunity a rose.Rose Quote #29
At the end; highest happiness will be, a white rose, in the garden of your eternal dreams.
Kristian Goldmund AumannRose Quote #30
Beauty and love pass, I know... Oh, there's sadness, too. I suppose all great happiness is a little sad. Beauty means the scent of roses and then the death of roses-
F. Scott Fitzgerald
