His remarks.
And the rest is silence...
A collection of quotes, both about Quinn and said by him, have been put together here. Browse and enjoy.
‘He was Quinn, pitiless as a snake, whose blood ran like ice water, whose soft voice pronounced doom on anybody who got in his way. Quinn, the essence of darkness, who struck fear into the hearts of humans and Night People alike.
And just at that moment, he was tired.
Tired and cold. There was a kind of bleakness inside him, like a winter that would never change into spring.’
Quinn’s thoughts.
Page 31, The Chosen.
“My sisters always stick together.”
“Lamia are so wonderfully family oriented.”
“And made vampires are so wonderfully...short.”
“Well, now, I never got to finish growing, did I? One of your ancestors took care of that.”
Ash Redfern and Quinn.
Page 32, Daughters of Darkness.
“If, you think that because I was a human once, I have any pity on them, you are very, very wrong. I hate humans more than I hate the Redferns.”
“Why?”
“No, thankyou. I don’t have to explain anything to you. Just take my word for it.”
Quinn and Rashel Jordan.
Page 52, The Chosen.
“That’s one thing I can count on. Your self-interest. You always look after Number One, don’t you?”
“Doesn’t everybody?”
“Not everybody is quite so blatant about it.”
Quinn and Ash Redfern.
Page 34, Daughters of Darkness.
“So you see, you’d better kill me fast. Because that’s certainly what I’m going to do to you if I get loose.”
“Am I supposed to be scared?”
“Only if you have the brains to know who I am. Which obviously you don’t.”
Quinn and Rashel Jordan.
Pages 46 – 47, The Chosen.
‘Quinn...that snake. He had a heart like a glacier and he despised humans. He was the sort to take Night World law into his own hands if he didn’t think it was being enforced properly.’
Jade Redfern’s thoughts.
Page 152, Daughters of Darkness.
“I really think you’d better kill me now. Unless you’re too stupid or too scared. This wood won’t hold forever, you know. And when I get out, I’m going to use that sword on you.”
Quinn.
Page 51, The Chosen.
‘She understood why those girls were clustered around him, longing to fling themselves into his darkness like a bunch of virgin sacrifices jumping into a volcano. I mean, what else do you do with a guy like that? she thought.
Kill him. It would be the only solution even if he weren’t a vampire, she decided with sudden insane cheer. Because prolonged contact with that smile was obviously going to annihilate her.’
Rashel Jordan’s thoughts.
Page 105, The Chosen.
“There is plenty of darkness. It’s everywhere. It’s inescapable. So the only thing we can do is embrace it. If we hold it close, it won’t hurt so much.”
“Well. Exactly.”
“I came here so I could do that. I came to look for the darkness.”
“And you found it.”
Rashel Jordan and Quinn.
Pages 111 – 112, The Chosen.
“Quinn, what’s wrong with you?”
“Just reminiscing about the old days in the sunlight. Of course, you wouldn’t know about that, would you? You’re lamia; you were born this way. Technically, I suppose you were born dead.”
“And technically, I suppose, you’re going peculiar. My father always said it would happen.”
Lily Redfern and Quinn.
Page 119, The Chosen.
‘He let go of her and she slowly turned to look at him.
What she saw sent chills between her shoulder blades. His eyes were as dark and chaotic as the clouds she’d sensed in his mind. It was scarier than the cold hunger she’d seen in the eyes of the seven guys downstairs.
Then he smiled.
A smile that shed rainbows. Rashel pressed herself back against the wall and tried to brace herself.’
Rashel Jordan’s thoughts.
Page 172, The Chosen.
“What are you doing?”
“I’ve got something to settle with this girl. She’s a smartass.”
“Take your hands off her. Before I knock you through the wall.”
“Quinn-”
“Drop her. Now.”
Quinn, Ivan, and Lily Redfern.
Page 121, The Chosen.
“Don’t you understand? As long as you’re human, Night World law says you have to die if I love you.
If I love you. And that’s the problem, of course. I do love you.
I’ve loved you from that first night, Rashel the Cat. I didn’t want to admit it, but it was true.
I’d never met a human like you. You were strong, you weren’t weak and pathetic. You weren’t looking for your own destruction. But you were going to let me go. Strength and compassion. And...honor. Of course I loved you. I’d have been crazy not to.”
Quinn.
Page 174, The Chosen.
“You’re weak. You’re short-lived. You’re not very bright, and not very important. In a word, you’re...dinner.”
“Well put. Step away from her, son.”
“This is my soulmate. And we’re leaving together.”
“What a shame.”
Lily Redfern, Hunter Redfern, and Quinn.
Page 195, The Chosen.
“I love you, John Quinn.”
“I love you, Rashel Jordan.“
“Hold me tighter. I’m a little cold.”
“You are? I feel so warm. It’s spring tomorrow, you know.”
Rashel Jordan and Quinn.
