1. "How do you feel?" she asked, trying to fluff his pillow. "Other than terrible, I mean."He moved his head slightly to the side.

Less terrible?"He made no response."The same amount of terrible?" ~ Julia Quinn
2. "Are you all right?" he asked Olivia. His heart was still racing with terror that she'd been hurt.

"You made that noise?""It hurt," Sebastian bit off.Harry fought not to laugh. "You scream like a leettle girl." ~ Julia Quinn

I'd love you if you had a mustache." He paused and tweaked her nose. "Well, the mustache would be difficult. Please promise me you won't grow one." ~ Julia Quinn

11. "I'm a third son. Perpetually short of funds, I'm afraid.''Ha! You're as plump in the pocket as at least three earls,' Lady Danbury said ...Colin smiled blandly. 'Isn't it considered impolite to talk about money in mixed company?'Lady Danbury let out a noise that was either a wheeze or a giggle - Colin wasn't sure which - then said, 'It's always impolite to talk about money, mixed company or no" ~ Julia Quinn
12. "He still had dreams about it. Certainly not nightmares - it could not be worth the energy. But every month or so he woke up from one of those annoying visions where he was back at school (rather absurdly at his current age of eight-and-twenty). It was always of a similar nature. He looked down at his schedule and suddenly realized he'd forgotten to attend Latin class for an entire term. Or arrived for an exam without his trousers." ~ Julia Quinn

It certainly would have made my life easier. I asked my uncle Hugh (who is not really my uncle, but he is married to the stepsister of my current mother's brother's wife and he lives quite closeand he's a vicar) if I would be going to hell for such a thought. He said no, that frankly, it made a lot of sense to him. I do think I prefer his parish to my own." ~ Julia Quinn
15. "Colin decided then and there that the female mind was a strange and incomprehensible organ - one which no man should even attempt to understand. There wasn't a woman alive who could go from point A to B without stopping at C, D, X, and 12 along the way." ~ Julia Quinn
16. "He would not give her up,he could not.For the first time in his life he'd found someone who filled all the empty spaces in his heart" ~ Julia Quinn
17. "Turn right up ahead," he directed. "It'll take us directly to my cottage."She did as he asked. "Does your cottage have a name?""My Cottage.""I might have known," she muttered.He smirked. Quite a feat, in her opinion, since he looked sick as a dog. "I'm not kidding," he said.Sure enough, in another minute they pulled up in front of an elegant country house, complete with a small, unobtrusive sign in front reading, MY COTTAGE" ~ Julia Quinn
18. "Stirlings of old had been so damned besotted with their newfound earldom that they couldn't think to put any other name on anything...It was a wonder he didn't drink Kilmartin Tea and sit on a Kilmartin-style chair. In fact, he probably would be doing just that if his grandmother had found a way to manage it without actually taking the family into trade." ~ Julia Quinn

Harriet blinked a few times. "It doesn't rhyme.""Oh, for heaven's sake," Elizabeth burst out. " Finstead Winstead?"Harriet's gasp very nearly sucked the air from the room. "I never noticed!" she exclaimed."Obviously," her sister drawled."I must have been thinking about you when I wrotethe play," Harriet said to Daniel. From her expression, he gathered he was meant to feel flattered, so he tried to smile." ~ Julia Quinn
21. "She'd worn that color, or gray in its place, for three years now. And unrelenting black for a year before that. It had been a bit of a badge, she realized, a uniform of sorts. One never had to worry about who one was when one's clothing proclaimed it so loudly." ~ Julia Quinn
22. "Anthony looked down at his evil clutches -- hands, he reminded himself, hands -- and grinned anew." ~ Julia Quinn
23. "There was a huge difference between dislike and disregard." ~ Julia Quinn
24. "Blake looked around and gulped. He'd forgotten about the mess on the floor. Chamber pot shards, hisshaving kit, a towel or two..."I... ah..." It seemed to him that it was far easierto lie for the sake of national security than it was to hisolder sister."Is that a bar of soap stuck to the wall?" Penelope asked."Um... yes, it appears to be." ~ Julia Quinn
25. "Doyou miss a parent you never knew?" he whispered.Kate considered his question for some time. His voice had held a hoarse urgency that told her there wassomething critical about her reply. Why, she couldn't imagine, but something about her childhood clearlyrang a chord within his heart."Yes," she finally answered, "but not in the way you would think. You can't really miss her, because youdidn't know her, but there's still a hole in your life—a big empty spot, and you know who was supposedto fit there, but you can't remember her, and you don't know what she was like, and so you don't knowhow she would have filled that hole." Her lips curved into asad sort of smile. "Does this make any sense?"Anthony nodded. "It makes a great deal of sense" ~ Julia Quinn
26. "He was no fool; he knew that love existed. But he also believed inthe power of the mind, and perhaps even more importantly, the power of the will. Frankly, he saw noreason why love should be an involuntary thing.If he didn't want to fall in love, then by damn, he wasn't going to. It was as simple as that. Ithad to be assimple as that." ~ Julia Quinn
27. "Honoria had a plan.It had come to her in church that morning. (The ladies went; the gentlemen somehow managed to get out of it.) It wasn't terribly complicated; she needed only a sunny day, a halfway acceptable sense of direction, and a shovel." ~ Julia Quinn
28. "Shall we return to the dining room?" Anthony queried. "I imagine you're hungry, and if we tarry muchlonger, Colin is sure tohave eaten our host out of house and home."Eloise nodded. "Either that, or they've all killed him by now."Anthony paused to consider that. "It would save me the expense of a wedding.""Anthony!""It's a joke, Eloise," he said, giving his head a weary shake. "Come along, now. Let's make sure your SirPhillip still residesamong the ranks of the living." ~ Julia Quinn
29. "He yawned again, this time very loudly, and lazily opened his eyes."I'm sorry I woke you up," she said quickly."Was I sleeping?"She nodded."So there really is a God," he muttered." ~ Julia Quinn
30. "On the way over, however, it slid off the shovel and onto Henry's shoes.Pity, that.She whirled around. He waited for her to burst out with, "You did that on purpose!" but she kept silent, motionless except for a slight narrowing of her eyes. Then, with a flick of her ankle, the slop spattered onto his trousers.She smirked, waiting for him to say, "You did that on purpose!" but he also remained silent. Then he smiled at her, and she knew she was in trouble." ~ Julia Quinn
31. "This is none of your concern,' his uncle spat.'I beg to differ,' Sebastian said quietly. 'A lady in distress is always my concern." ~ Julia Quinn
32. "That ought to do it.' He stood up and held out his hand to her, but she ignored it, rolling over so that she could sit on the grassy knoll. He stood there awkwardly until she patted the spot on the grass next to her. He hesitated, and Belle finally groaned and slapped her down on the ground with considerable force. 'Oh, please,' she said in a semi-irritated voice. 'I'm not going to bite.' John sat down." ~ Julia Quinn
33. "she decided to watch the leaves on the tree across the way. How many would fall off in such a strong wind? ... She now knew why people made such a fuss about weddings. It was to keep the bride's mind occupied, lest she fall into strange mental chasms." ~ Julia Quinn
34. "The slanted light of dawn was rippling through the windowpane, and Miss Anne Sainsbury was huddled beneath her thin blanket, wondering, as she often did, where she would find money for her next meal."That was really good. Even he wanted to know what happened to Miss Sainsbury, and he was making it up." ~ Julia Quinn
35. "Nonetheless, I can't help but be flattered that you noticed the latest addition to my collection," he said.She rolled her eyes. "Because personal injuries are such a dignified thing to collect.""Are all governesses so sarcastic?" ~ Julia Quinn
36. "The two of you together are a menace," Penelope remarked."My aim in life," Lady Danbury announced, "is to be amenace to as great a number of people as possible, so Ishall take that as the highest of compliments, Mrs.Bridgerton.""Why is it," Penelope wondered, "that you only call meMrs. Bridgerton when you are opining in a grand fashion?""Sounds better that way," Lady D said, punctuating herremark with a loud thump of her cane." ~ Julia Quinn
37. "Daniel chuckled. Whoever that poor girl was, he hoped his family was paying her well.And then, finally, she lifted her fingers from the keys as Daisy began her painful violin solo. He watched her exhale, stretching her fingers, and then . . .She looked up.Time stopped. It simply stopped. It was the most maudlin and clichéd way of describing it, but those few seconds when her face was lifted toward his . . . they stretched and pulled, melting into eternity.She was beautiful. But that didn't explain it. He'd seen beautiful women before. He'd slept with plenty of them, even. But this . . . Her . . . She . . .Even his thoughts were tongue-tied." ~ Julia Quinn
38. "I don't like your tone," was Violet's standard answer when one of her children was winning an argument." ~ Julia Quinn
39. "Does that feel better?" she asked, not expecting any sort of an answer but feeling nonetheless that she ought to continue with her one-sided conversation. "I really don't know very much about caring for the ill, but it just seems to me like you'd want something cool on your brow. I know if I were sick, that's how I'd feel."He shifted restlessly, mumbling something utterly incoherent."Really?" Sophie replied, trying to smile but failing miserably. "I'm glad you feel that way."He mumbled something else."No," she said, dabbing the cool cloth on his ear, "I'd have to agree with what you said the first time." He went still again."I'd be happy to reconsider," she said worriedly. "Please don't take offense." He didn't move.Sophie sighed. One could only converse so long with an unconscious man before one started to feel extremely silly." ~ Julia Quinn
40. "This thing between them, this bond—it wasn't just passion,and it wasn't wicked.It was love, and it was divine." ~ Julia Quinn
41. "You are always looking at people like this." And then she made a face, one he couldn't possibly begin to describe."If I ever look like that," he said dryly, "precisely like that, to be more precise, I give you leave to shoot me." ~ Julia Quinn
42. "To say that men can be bullheaded would be insulting to the bull." ~ Julia Quinn
43. "It's the curse of motherhood. You're required to love us even when we vex you." ~ Julia Quinn
44. "It suddenly made sense. Only twice in his life had he felt this inexplicable, almost mystical attraction to a woman. He'd thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart he'd always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him. His heart had been right. There was only one." ~ Julia Quinn
45. "You have a minute and a half left.""Fine," she snapped. "Then I'll reduce this conversation to one single fact. Today I had six callers. Six! Can you recall the last time I had six callers?"Anthony just stared at her blankly."I can't," Daphne continued, in fine form now. "Because it has never happened. Six men marched up our steps, knocked on our door, and gave Humboldt their cards. Six men brought me flowers, engaged me in conversation, and one even recited poetry."Simon winced."And do you know why?" she demanded, her voice rising dangerously. "Do you?"Anthony, in his somewhat belatedly arrived wisdom, held his tongue."It is all because he"—she jabbed her forefinger toward Simon—"was kind enough to feign interest in me last night at Lady Danbury's ball." ~ Julia Quinn
46. "And if you say that's because you lot barged into her home like a herd of mentally deficient sheep, I'm disowning all three of you." ~ Julia Quinn
47. "No one said we had to spend every waking moment together," he said, "but at the end of the day"-he leaned and kissed each of her eyebrows, in turn-"an most of the time during, there is no one I would rather see, no one whose voice I would rather hear, and no one whose mind I would rather explore." ~ Julia Quinn
48. "But you have told me," Elizabeth protested, "time and again, that the hallmark of civilization is routine."Lady D shrugged and made a fussy little chirping sound. "A lady cannot take it upon herself to occasionally change her routine? All routines need periodic readjustment." ~ Julia Quinn
49. "But you won't say no."She hated that his confidence was not misplaced, hated that she could refuse him nothing when he held her in his arms.

50. "Did you know I dream about your hair? I use to say it was the color of the sun at sunset, but I'm wrong. It's brighter than the sun, just as you are." ~ Julia Quinn

Uma pessoa nunca é boa ou ruim per se, o que significa que amá-las ou odiá-las tem necessariamente em sua base um elemento subjetivo e talvez ilusionista."
