Quotes by Serena Valentino  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“To die, one must first have been alive. And the Beast could finally say that by finding love, he had lived.”
Serena Valentino, The Beast Within

“The words wounded deeper than the bruises and the scars from any physical pain he inflicted on me. At least those wounds healed.”
Serena Valentino, Fairest of All

“Practically every princess in peril has been saved by Love's First Kiss! For goodness' sake, between witches and fairies, can't we think of something more original? I'm weary of this. Why must a young girl need a man to save her? Why can't a princess fight for her own life, break her own curse? Why must it always be a prince? By Hades, I want to kill Prince Phillip on principle, just so we don't have yet one more prince kissing some helpless sleeping girl, making her feel like she has to marry him out of gratitude.”
Serena Valentino, Mistress of All Evil
