The odd thing about ambition is this: You can acquire it like a fever, but it is not so easy to shed. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Do not touch her
A terrible silence follows. I wait for him to pronounce judgment on me. Whatever he commands will be done. His power is absolute. I don't even have the strength to fight back.
Whatever can you mean? Randalin says. She's -----
She is my wife, Cardan says ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
He looks at me and blinks, as through a fog. "This is an absolutely terrible idea," he says with a kind of amazement in his voice.

"Yes," I tell him, kicking off my boots.


-Cardan and Jude ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
I concentrate on what I am going to say to Vivi, instead of thinking of Cardan. I do not want to consider what happened between us. I do not want to think about the way his muscles moved or how his skin felt or the soft gasping sounds he made or the slide of his mouth against mine.

I definitely don't want to think about how hard I had to bite my own lip to keep quiet. Or how obvious it was that I'd never done any of the things we did, no less the things we didn't do. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
I roll my eyes, and he gives me a quick grin. And my heart hurts a little because we are all together and safe, and it wasn't something I'd known how to want. And Cardan looks a little shy in the face of all this happiness, ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
You could still be lying," says the Roach. He turns to Cardan. "Try her."

"Your pardon?" Cardan says, drawing himself up, and the Roach seems to suddenly remember to whom he's speaking in such an offhanded way.

"Don't be such a prickly rose, Your Majesty," the Roach says with a shrug and a grin. "I'm not giving you an order. I'm suggesting that if you tried to glamour Jude, we could find out the truth."

Cardan sighs and walks toward me. I know this is necessary. I know that he doesn't intend to hurt me. I know he can't glamour me. And yet I draw back automatically.

"Jude?" he asks.

"Go ahead," I say.

I hear the glamour enter his voice, heady and seductive and more powerful than I expected. "Crawl to me," he says with a grin. Embarrassment pinks my cheeks.

I stay where I am, looking at all their faces. "Satisfied?"

The Bomb nods. "You're not charmed. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
There you are," Cardan says as I take my place beside him. "How has the night been going for you? Mine has been full of dull conversation about how my head is going to find itself on a spike. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
The three of you have one solution to every problem. Murder. No key fits every lock." Cardan gives us all a stern look, holding up a long-fingered hand with my stolen ruby ring still on one finger. "Someone tries to betray the High King, murder. Someone gives you a harsh look, murder. Someone disrespects you, murder. Someone ruins your laundry, murder. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
You think I don't deserve him," I say to Cardan.
He smiles slowly, like the moon slipping beneath the waves of the lake. "Oh no, I think you're perfect for each other. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
You said that you thought Queen Orlagh was waiting for an advantage to declare war. Instead, I think she is trying a new ruler - one she hopes she can trick or replace with another indebted to her. She thinks me young and feckless and means to take my measure."

"So what?" I ask. "Our choice is to endure her games, no matter how deadly, or engage in a war we cannot win?"

Cardan shakes his head and drinks another cup of tea. "We show her that I am no feckless High King."

"And how do we do that?" I ask.

"With great difficulty," he says. "Since I fear she is right. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
But kissing Locke never felt the way that kissing Cardan does, like taking a dare to run over knives, like an adrenaline strike of lightning, like the moment when you've swum too far out in the sea and there is no going back, only cold black water closing over your head. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Yes, my great villan, my darling god. I will be as sober as a stone carving, just as soon as I can ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
I bet Cardan has never even tried pizza. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
You have only seen the least of what I can do. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
I think of Madoc, dozing away upstairs, all his dreams of murder. I think of Oriana and Oak being forced apart for years. I think of Cardan and how he will hate me. I think of what it means to make myself the villain of the piece. "For the next full minute, I command you not to move," I whisper back. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
I knew little else, but I always knew you. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Cardan tucks my arm firmly through his before striding into the entryway, and I feel a rush of warmth as I match his step. I can't afford to be less than ruthlessly honest with myself. Against my better judgment, despite the fact that he is terrible, Cardan is also fun.
Maybe I should be glad of how little it will matter. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
I just need to be able to vanquish my enemies. That's all."
He looks surprised, "Do you have a lot of enemies, then?" I am sure he imagines me among the children of the Gentry, with their soft hands and velvet skirts. He thinks of little cruelties, small slights, minor snubs.
"Not many," I say, thinking of the lazy, hateful look Cardan gave me by torchlight in the hedge maze. "But they're quality. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Go ahead. Insult me."
His eyebrows go up. "I don't take commands from mortals," he says with his customary cruel smile.
"So you're going to say something nice? I don't think so. Faeries can't lie. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
I do not have endless patience," Balekin growls.
"Cultivate it," Cardan says, and with a small bow, he navigates us away from Balekin and Madoc. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
what I want to do is hide under a table in the brugh with Cardan until I can finally convince myself he's all right.

And maybe make out with his face, if he's feeling up to that ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Tell me. Has your daughter made the journey with you?"

"She is here," the hag says. A girl steps from the crowd to bow low before Cardan. She is young, with a mass of unbound hair. Like her mother, her limbs are oddly long and twig-like, but where her mother is unsettlingly bony, she has a kind of grace. Maybe it helps that her feet resemble human ones.

Although, to be fair, they are turned backward. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
It's funny how you get under his skin."
At first, I'm not sure I heard him right. I almost ask whom he's talking about, because I can't quite believe he's admitting that high and mighty Cardan is affected by anything. "Like a splinter?" I say.
"Of iron. No one else bothers him quite the way that you do. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Cardan grins at me as though we've been great friends all our lives. I forgot how charming he can be--and how dangerous that is. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Cardan looks at me as though he's never seen me before. He looks at me as though no one has ever spoken to him like this. Maybe no one has. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Yeah, Cardan should definitely trust you more. You seem really trustworthy. It's not like you're actually currently betraying him. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Get down here before you're recognized."
"Playing hide-and-seek under the table? Crouching in the dirt? Typical of your kind, but far beneath my dignity."
He laughs unsteadily, like he expects I am going to laugh, too. I don't. I ball up my fist and punch him in the stomach, right where I know it will hurt. He staggers to his knees. The goblet drops to the dirt, making a hollow clanking sound. "Ow!" he shouts, and lets me tug him under the table. ~ Holly Black
Cardan quotes by Holly Black
Mock me all you like. Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips." His eyes are black with desire. "By you, I am forever undone. ~ Holly Black
