Caraval Quotes Novels & Stories

“This will be the talk of the year, Barrett. No one will ever forget it.” “They won’t,” he said smoothly. “And more importantly, no one will dare to overshadow it.” I leaned closer, lowering my voice. “I want a theme.

"Ooh, count me in for some of those. Big shots, huh?" I chuckled, raising an eyebrow at Carson. "Haven't you heard the phrase 'don’t drink while driving'?” Carson tutted. "Whoever said that clearly hasn't tasted the thrill of sipping and steering. The second and third best feelings in the world. The first is being with you.” I raised my eyebrows, trying to suppress a smile at Carson's cheeky remark. "Well, I suppose it depends on who's doing the sipping and who's doing the steering.”

Conversations paused as heads turned, eyes narrowing with suspicion. “Well, well,” a tall man at the bar drawled, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “If it isn’t Ancelotti’s golden girl. What brings you here, sweetheart?” Caroline smiled tightly, refusing to let her nerves show. “I’m here to talk. About Maralyn.” The man raised an eyebrow, his expression both curious and wary. “And why would we want to hear what you have to say?” “Because Maralyn’s dragging you all down with her,” Caroline said, her voice calm but commanding. “She’s reckless, dangerous, and she doesn’t care about anyone but herself.

Van sighs. “We heard how visitors here call each other’s, it’s us who named ourselves,” the statue on the right answered. “And I’ll be taking your queen,” the statue on the left chuckled. The statue on the right then blames Van for the loss of his important piece. “Don’t blame your stupidity on me,” Van chuckled. The statue of the barmaid comes to life.

Maybe it was his new personality that only she was aware of. "Thank you Xav. These are really beautiful and special. You didn't need to do this really". This time Caroline thanked him sincerely. She never knew flowers could make someone so happy. "Nah. I would do everything to make you smile everyday. And what kind of a man would I be if I can't make my woman happy"? Caroline felt herself melting at his words. "I…". She couldn't even speak anything. "Are you free Carl"? He asked after a pause.

The world was not ready for the kind of chaos those two could cause all by themselves. "Well I do. From what Leigh tells me, you are an amazing person." Carol concluded, turning to face the street and pull out of the curb. "Thank you Carol. That’s just very nice of you, I love your earrings by the way." "Aww. Thanks. Buckle up your seatbelts ladies, it's time for a par-tay!" ****

Don't be pessimistic out of the blue! "The only man I will ever love is you. And you said you don't want to get married to me!" Charlotte started sobbing. Carl opened his mouth in confusion: How could he fix this now?!!!!! "Charlotte! Lottie! Please stop crying, you will alert the maids!" "Let them know about my misery and sorrow!" "What misery and sorrow?! Gosh! Where did you bring that phrase from?!" "A boooook" responded the girl while keeping crying. "I had to burn that damned library!"

You look like a kid whose candy hot snatched by some serial killer in a lonely park " " You just said that wrong. A serial killer wouldn't snatch a candy from a kid at some lonely park, he'd snatch the kid " I replied, mentally face palming as I walked behind him into the club house.

“It's just that, I can't believe I'm here right now. I never thought I'd be sipping champagne with Carter Winthrow. Not to mention I'm about to go and eat at La Reve. It feels kind of surreal.” Carter kept his gaze on me while I spoke. “Act as if you're where you want to be, and as surely as you can feel your own breath, you'll get there.” “Is that a quote?” I asked. “Who said that? Thoreau? Emerson?” He shook his head. “My father. I'd heard him say it countless times when I was growing up. It stuck with me.” “Was he involved with stocks too?” I asked, instantly wondering if I was crossing the line by prying.

“See, all your curses actually lead you to many unexpected happiness. Now you too can realize your greatest desire to have children from your own womb.
