E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey

"Of course. Silly me. Such a sad, exciting score, which no doubt you can play? So many accomplishments, Mr. Grey.”“And the greatest one is you, Miss Steele."

"Don't get your panties in such a twist... and give me back mine."

"Your stepfather? I'd like to meet him."Oh no... why"I'm not sure that's a good idea."Christian unlocks the door, his mouth in a grim line."Are you ashamed of me"No!" It's my turn to sound exasperated. "Introduce you to my dad as what? 'This is the man who deflowered me and wants to start a BDSM relationship'. You're not wearing running shoes."

"I shrug, trapped. I don’t want to lose him. In spite of all his demands, his need to control, his scary vices. I have never felt as alive as I do now. It’s a thrill to be sitting here beside him. He’s so unpredictable, sexy, smart, and funny. But hismoods… oh – and he wants to hurt me. He says he’ll think about my reservations, but it still scares me. I close my eyes. What can I say? Deep down I would just like more, more affection, more playful Christian, more… love."

"I've never wanted more, until I met you."

"I want my world to start and end with you."

"You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince"
