“Cupid is anything but cute. As for handing our hearts, he’s more likely to rip them out. (Julian)But he can make people fall in love. (Selena)No. What he offers is an illusion. No power from above can make one human love another. Love comes from within the heart. (Julian)”

“No power from above can make one human love another. Love comes from within the heart. (Julian)”

“Do it, and I’ll rip your heart out and feed it to your friend. (Julian)”

“Julian was good at being in love. But he was clever enough to know that what he really liked about being in love was the state of unconsummated tension... One had to believe that these lovely creatures were, in potentia, the longed for intimate friend from whom nothing need be hidden, by whom everything would be understood, forgiven and admired. But Julian was clever and observant enough to see that love was at its most intense before it was reciprocated.”

“Cameron found himself smiling as he thought about the two tough, acerbic FBI agents. "It's so cute. They're in love.""It's like watching two kittens fight with machetes," Julian muttered."Julian.""What? Its weird!""No its not. They're perfect for each other. Poor Zane though," Cameron murmured. "In love with Ty Grady." He couldn't imagine how frustrating that would be. Then Julian inhaled, and Cameron chuckled slightly. Yeah, he could actually.”

“A faerie heart is different from a human heart. Human hearts are elastic. They have room for all sorts of passions, and they can break and heal and love again and again. Faerie hearts are evolutionarily less sophisticated. They are small and hard, like tiny grains of sand. Our hearts are too small to love more than one person in a lifetime.”
