# Quote — Scott Lynch, The Republic of Thieves

> “Remember when I told you, for the first time? You nearly threw me off the roof—”
>
> “I thought you deserved it. You know, it’s an opinion I return to from time to time, whether or not a roof is available.”
>
> “You’re a difficult woman, Sabetha. But then, difficult women are the only ones worth falling in love with.”
>
> “How would you know? It’s not like you’ve ever been after anyone else—”
>
> “That part’s easy. I started with the most difficult woman possible, so there was never any need to look any further.”
>
> “You’re trying to be charming.” She squeezed his hand once, then pulled away. “I choose not to be entirely charmed, Locke Lamora.”
>
> “Not entirely?”
>
> “Not entirely. Not yet.”
