Jess Quotes

"I'm Luke Skywalker," I said. "I'm here to rescue you.”
― Meg Cabot, Sanctuary

“You’re only responsible for yourself, Jess. And that’s the only person you can control. Other people will either get it or they won’t but you can’t define yourself by their opinions.”
― Susan Mallery, Sweet Trouble

“I grab my bag and open the door, trying to ignore him. But ignoring Gray Porter is like ignoring an elephant in a tutu. A really hot elephant-in a very manly tutu.”

“I wonder if it was your father who made you think so little of yourself,” Wolfe said, which was not at all what Jess expected. “Having met the man, I would believe it. But, Jess: don’t believe what the demons whisper in the corners of your mind. We all have demons. You are not to be compared against any of the others, or against your own brother. You are yourself. And if I had not seen genius in you, I never would have kept you in the class. I don’t coddle mediocrity.”
― Rachel Caine, Sword and Pen

“Working for Master Mischief? This would be an act of sheer rebellion. Her parents would be livid if they ever found out. And it would be hilarious.”

“Better I die for something, even if it’s nothing you’d believe in. Loyalty’s just a word to you. It’s real for me.

I’d like to say I love you, but I promised truth. I’ve feared you, admired you, hated you, maybe even worshipped you. But I know what love feels like now, and we never had that.

Tell Ma that if I love anyone, it’s her. She’s always been quiet and distant, but I think that’s because she hates you and I’m collateral damage. I wish I’d known her without you. I think we’d understand each other better.
Good-bye, Da.
Go to hell.
I hope I’m not there waiting.”
― Rachel Caine, Sword and Pen

“Jess pushed herself up to sit next to him. "In case you didn't get the memo, it' s my turn to take care of you right now." Ike dropped his face into his hands on a groan, and Jess's cool hand massages his neck. "Oh, my God. You're so hot."

He chuffed out a small laugh. "Why, thank you."

Jess Chuckled. "You realize you don't have to fish for compliments, right? Not from me. Because I will straight-up tell you that the sight of your Ravens tat stretched over all these muscles gives me a lady boner." Her fingers traced the design across his shoulder blades - a spread-winged raven perches on the hilt of a dagger sunk into the eye socket of a skull. The block letters of the club's name arched over the menacing black bird.

He threw her some major side-eye. "I know I'm sick because the perverted part of my brain just heard you say my ink gives you a lady boner.”
― Laura Kaye, Hard as Steel

“Statt mich wegzudrücken oder zurückzutreten, griff er nach meinem Oberarm und zog mich noch näher zu sich heran. Wieder hüllte mich sein würziger Geruch ein und mein Blick glitt über sein Gesicht, seine Lippen, hinunter zu seinem Hals. Sein ganzer Körper war angespannt, die Muskeln traten hervor und sein Kiefer zuckte. Er schluckte – schwer.
Noch nie war mir aufgefallen, wie sexy so ein Hals oder ein Kiefer sein konnte. Oder diese vollen Lippen, die sich gerade teilten, als er Luft ausstieß. Sein Atem streifte meine Wange und ging nun mindestens genauso schnell wie meiner.
Verdammt – so war das nicht geplant gewesen.”
― May Raven, Die Gefahr in den Wäldern

“When someone I love gets hurt, I get involved.”
― Zooey Deschanel as Jess TV's New Girl

“He hadn't really rejected her, had he?

Or maybe she was reading into her memory of the moment what she wanted to see.

Probably.

Then again, he'd been hard. And he;s looked at her like he wanted to eat her. And she was totally game to be his buffet.”
― Laura Kaye, Hard as Steel

“The only upside to that ice-cold bath was that Ike has gotten wet and tossed his shirt, and Jess thought she might be willing to be sick more often if it meant getting to see him shirtless. Because, holy bad-ass tattooed biker on a stick, he was so freaking hot. Cut muscles, ink everywhere, two insanely delicious indents low on his waist. And scars Jess has no idea how Ike had gotten.

All that goodness and Jess couldn't even see the big Ravens tat that she knew covered Ike's broad back. But she'd seen it before, back at Hard Ink when Jeremy occasionally did a new piece for Ike. She'd seen it enough to know that she'd love to have a good reason to dig her fingers into that tat...”
― Laura Kaye, Hard as Steel

“Toast is boring. Doritos are life.”
― Laura Kaye, Hard as Steel

“The only time she’s come close to being “known” was when she accidentally came out as bisexual during sophomore English class while talking about her favorite poem.”
― C.B. Lee, Not Your Sidekick

“He sounded oddly calm. “It’s risky.”
My arm is in the mouth of a sphinx that’s only a moment from ripping it from the socket. Risky sounds quite safe, Wolfe thought, but he didn’t say it. Too many words. “Tell me!”
“Work your arm free,” Jess said. “Run. Make for the Minotaur. If you can make them fight each other—”
Risky wasn’t the right word for it. Suicidal was far more on point.”
― Rachel Caine, Sword and Pen
