Unfortunately, I didn't mark any in my book as I was reading, so I pulled all of these off goodreads.
"It's like being in love, discovering your best friend."
"A whore, we've established that, filthy, it goes without saying, but whatever else the hell I am, I AM NOT ENGLISH."
"It's awful, telling it like this, isn't it? As though we didn't know the ending. As though it could have another ending. It's like watching Romeo drink poison. Every time you see it you get fooled into thinking his girlfriend might wake up and stop him. Every single time you see it you want to shout, 'You stupid ass, just wait a minute,' and she'll open her eyes! 'Oi, you, you twat, open your eyes, wake up! Don't die this time!' But they always do."
"Nothing like an arcane literary debate with your tyrannical master while you pass the time leading to your execution."
"And I envied her that she had chosen her work herself and was doing what she wanted to do. I don't suppose I had any idea what I 'wanted' and so I was chosen, not choosing. There's glory and honor in being chosen. But not much room for free will."
"Careless talk costs lives."
"Incredible what slender threads you begin to hang your hopes on."
"I don't believe for a minute - that we wouldn't have become friends somehow - that an unexploded bomb wouldn't have gone off and blown us both into the same crater, or that God himself wouldn't have come along and knocked our heads together in a flash of green sunlight. But it wouldn't have been likely."
"We make a sensational team."
"Von Linden really should know me well enough by now to realize that I am not going to face my execution without a fight. Or with anything remotely resembling dignity."
"KISS ME HARDY, kiss me, QUICK!"
