“This is the important thing, after all: nobody fears a beautiful woman. They revere her, worship her, sing praises to her—but nobody fears her, even when they should.”

"Write me a tragedy, Lev Fedorov," she whispered to him. "Write me a litany of sins. Write mne a plague of devastation. Write me lonely, write me wanting, write me shattered and fearful and lost. Then write me finding myself in your arms, if only for a night, and then write it again. Write it over and over, Lev, until we both know the pages by heart. Isn't that a story, too?"

“Stas Maksimov, who had always been aware of his luck in being Marya Antonova's choice, suffered once again the blow of knowing she was gone. No other man could claim his pain; the meager suffering of others was built only on imagination, on delusion. Only Stas had possessed the fortune of loving the woman herself, of knowing her as she truly was, and thus only Stas could know what torment it was to lose her. It clawed at his chest to watch Ivan martyr himself, as if only his devotion had mattered in the end.”

“It was a silence that spoke volumes, that made promises; a rush of urgency they both knew would have no patience for the luxury of a mattress, of permanence and sheets.”

"Because it is," Marya said. "Because nobody wil deny you anything the moment you stop denying yourself. Who could possibly have sovereignty greater than yours?" she asked, insistent. "Who on earth could have the right to refuse you, if you do not permit them to? If this isn't the way, Sasha, then find another one."
