Shadow and Bone
Thursdays on NetflixShadow and Bone Quotes
Alina: Maybe it's nicer inside the Little Palace, but out here, when you're different, when you look different, everything's at risk of becoming a fight.
Ivan: Do you know why the Little Palace has walls in the first place, hmm? Because for years, being Grisha was a death sentence. At least now, thanks to General Kirigan, we're protected. Feared. And that's how we survive. Not by being overlooked, but by making them look and knowing you're powerful.
Alina: I've survived long enough without your protection, thank you.
Fedyor: But you wouldn't last a minute now that you are you. All of Ravka has been waiting for you.
Alina: I get it. The whole country wants to see the Fold gone.
Fedyor: But it's bigger than that. You are hope for the country, yes, but a myth come true for a Grisha. It was a Grisha who created the Fold. If a Grisha destroys it, maybe... maybe we wouldn't need those high walls to protect us anymore.
Alina: Look at me. Do I look important to you?
Ivan: You look like trouble, which is nearly the same.
Never make decisions out of fear, Jesper. Only out of spite.

The Darkling: You would give up your gift?
Alina: Gift? You dragged me away from my only friends, and now, according to you, I'm gonna be a target for the rest of my life. You wanna know why you've never found someone with this power? Maybe it's because they don't want to be found.
The Darkling: I'm going to ask you again. Were you tested as a child?
Alina: We hid. We were different enough already. Didn't want to be even more alone.
The Darkling: You are Grisha. You are not alone.
The Darkling: There is matter to everything. Even air or shadow. Too small to see. The Cut is something a Summoner can do, but it requires tremendous skill, and I would only use it as a last resort. Like that ambush.
Alina: Saints. Is this my life now? Hunted wherever I go?
The Darkling: You get used to it.
When I was young, I was afraid of the dark. When I got older, I learned that darkness is a place, and it's full of monsters.
Alina
Dreesen: No businessman worth his salt hires his first applicant.
Kaz: No. No, I understand. Of course, I will have to report you to the guild for kidnapping and harboring a prisoner without chain of title.
Dreesen: You wouldn't.
Kaz: No businessman worth his salt bargains for what he can take.
Inej: So? What's our move now?
Kaz: You're the one of us who believes in a higher power. If we're going to survive a round trip through the Fold, we'll need a miracle or two.
Alina: If it goes wrong, come back. You've lost enough to it already.
Mal: I'll find my way back to you.
