Holly Black Quotes

Love changes us, but we change how we love too Picture Quote #1

Our tragedy is that we forget it might be someone else first Picture Quote #1

He was as honest as any criminal can hope to be Picture Quote #1

Every hero is the villain of his own story Picture Quote #1

One night you will ask me for something I cannot give Picture Quote #1

Every plan is a house of cards Picture Quote #1

If she was going to die, she might as well die sarcastic Picture Quote #1

Clever girl. You play with fire because you want to be burnt Picture Quote #1

All friendships are negotiations of power Picture Quote #1

Yeah, the whole family knows. It’s no big deal. One night at dinner I said, ‘Mom, you know the forbidden love that Spock has for Kirk? Well, me too.’ It was easier for her to understand that way Picture Quote #1

Someone could cut through the mess in our house and look at it like one might look at rings on a tree or layers of sediment. They’d find the black-and-white hairs of a dog we had when I was six, the acid-washed jeans my mother once wore, the seven blood-soaked pillowcases from the time I skinned my knee. All our family secrets rest in endless piles Picture Quote #1

Telling Sam and Daneca feels like peeling off my own skin to expose everything underneath. It hurts Picture Quote #1

A mortal had woven it, a man who, having caught sight of the Seelie queen, had spent the remainder of his short life weaving depictions of her. He had died of starvation, raw, red fingers staining the final tapestry Picture Quote #1

Sam: You know what I wish? Cassel: What? Sam: That someone would covert my bed into a robot that would fight other bed robots to the death for me Picture Quote #1

Keep going’ she told herself, ‘Don’t look back.’ But she looked anyways Picture Quote #1

Mine. The language of love is like that, possessive. That should be the first warning that it’s not going to encourage anyone’s betterment Picture Quote #1

I am not very good at sticking to outlines, and I double back all the time to revisit scenes and change things Picture Quote #1

I revise a lot while I’m drafting, often going back to the beginning again and again to revise because I’ve changed massive things about the story. By the time I get to the end of a first draft, I’ve been through the beginning lots of times Picture Quote #1

It’s not that I don’t know that it’s a bad idea. It’s that, lately, bad ideas have a particular hold over me Picture Quote #1

In the older folklore, faeries were frightening beings. In fact, it was such a bad idea to get their attention that people would use flattering euphemisms for them, such as ‘the people of peace,’ ‘the little people,’ and ‘the good neighbors.’ Picture Quote #1

I did it to get what I want. Maybe I should regret that, but I can’t. Sometimes you do the bad thing and hope for the good result Picture Quote #1

I read ‘Sabella or The Blood Stone’ by Tanith Lee, which was hugely influential to me. I love Tanith’s writing. She’s just really lyrical, beautiful use of language Picture Quote #1

Crippled things are always more beautiful. It’s the flaw that brings out beauty Picture Quote #1

She didn’t know how much she’d been hoping that he still loved her, until she felt how much it hurt to realize he didn’t Picture Quote #1

I really love being a weirdo who writes a lot of different things for a lot of different ages. I have been considering doing a guide on my website so that a reader who liked one of my books could find the other books that he or she might like, because I know some of the books are really different from the rest Picture Quote #1

Inspiration comes from everywhere. From life, observing people, etc. From movies and books you love. From research Picture Quote #1

When we talk about good books, we often talk about good sentences, but what we rarely talk about is reader pleasure. Yet it is reader pleasure that is going to make a book break out into the kind of success that makes it into a household name Picture Quote #1

The first boy I fell in love with didn’t know I loved him, but he managed to break my heart anyway Picture Quote #1

She wears trouble like a crown. If she ever falls in love, she’ll fall like a comet, burning the sky as she goes Picture Quote #1
