Rose: "Don't kiss me back then."

Rose: "I was testing dorm security. It sucks."
Dimitri: "You must be freezing. Do you want my coat?"
Rose: "I'm fine. What are you doing out here? Are you testing security too?"
Dimitri: "I am security. This is my watch."
Rose: "Well, good work. I'm glad I was able to help test your awesome skills."
- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Shadow Kiss)
Dimitri: "What are you really doing out here?"
Rose: "I had a bad dream. I wanted some air."
Dimitri: "And so you just rushed out. Breaking the rules didn't even cross your mind—and neither did putting on a coat."
Rose: "Yeah. That pretty much sums it up."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Shadow Kiss)
Rose: "I think you're the one who's cold. Shouldn't you be all tough and stuff, since you're from Siberia?"
Dimitri: "I don't think Siberia's exactly what you imagine."
Rose: "I imagine it as an arctic wasteland."
Dimitri: "Then it's definitely not what you imagine."
- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Shadow Kiss)
Rose: "Well, don't worry. My birthday's coming up. ..."
Dimitri: "Yes, I'm sure. What is it about a month?"
Rose: "Thirty-one days"
Dimitri: "Not that your counting. I suppose you've made a birthday list too. Ten pages? Single-spaced? Ranked by order of priority?"
- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Shadow Kiss)
Rose: "Call me crazy for asking this, but, um, are Lissa and I going with you?"
Dimitri: "No."
Rose: "No?"
Dimitri: "No."
- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Shadow Kiss)
Dimitri: "Rose. You're a terrible liar."
Rose: "No, I'm not. I've told a lot of good lies in my life. People have believed them."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Shadow Kiss)
Dimitri: "No, it wont happen to you. You're too strong. You will fight it, just like you did this time"Rose: "I only did it because you were here, I cant do it by myself"Dimitri: "You can, you're strong--you're so, so strong. Its why I love you"- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Shadow Kiss)
Rose: "Wait. You think I'm going to die? That's why you slept with me?"Dimitri: " No, no, of course not. I did what I did because... believe me, it wasn't because of that. Regardless of the specifics- or if it`s even true- she (Rhonda) was right about how easily things can change. We try to do what`s right, or rather, what others say is right. But sometimes, when that goes against who we are... you have to choose. Even before the Strigoi attack, as I watched all the problems you were struggling with, I realized how much you mean to me. It changed everything. I was worried about you- so, so worried. You have no idea. And it became useless to try to act I could ever put any Moroi life above yours. It`s not going to happen, no matter how wrong others say it is. And so i decided that`s something I have to deal with. Once I made that decision... there was nothing to hold us back. Well, to hold me back. I`m speaking for myself. I don`t mean to act like I know exactly why you did it."Rose: " I did it because I love you," I said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. And really, it was.Dimitri: "You can sum up in one sentence what it takes me a whole speech to get out."Rose: "Because it`s that simple. I love you, and I don`t want to keep pretending that I don`t."- Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Shadow Kiss)
Dimitri: "I also have a feeling your mother's going to have one ugly conversation with me."
Rose: "You're about to go face down Strigoi, and my mother's the one you're scared of?"
Dimitri: "She's a force to be reckoned with. Where do you think you got it from?"
Rose: "It's a wonder you bother with me then."
Dimitri: "You're worth it, believe me."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Shadow Kiss)
Dimitri: “To you, it’d be like a fairy tale."
Rose: “Sorry, comrade. Borg and out-of-date music aren’t part of any happy ending I’ve ever imagined.”
Dimitri: “Borscht, not borg. And I’ve seen your appetite. If you were hungry enough, you’d eat it.”
Rose: “So starvation’s necessary for this fairy tale to work out?”
- Dimitri Belikov & Rose Hathaway (Blood Promise)
Rose: “Do you realize you’re bleeding to death?"
Dimitri: “I wouldn’t quite go that far. It’s nothing.”
Rose: “It’s nothing until you get an infection!"
- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Dimitri: “What, are you doing? Aside from getting your sandwich cold.”
Rose: “I’m making a snow angel. Don’t you know what that is?”
Dimitri: “Yes, I know. But why? You must be freezing.”
Rose: “Not so much, actually. My face is a little, I guess.”
Dimitri: “You’ll be cold when you’re in the car and all that snow starts melting.”
Rose: “I think you’re more worried about the car than about me.”
Dimitri: “I’m more worried about you getting hypothermia.”
Rose: “In this? This is nothing. Come on. You make one too, and then we can go.”
Dimitri: “So I can freeze too?”
Rose: “So you can have fun. So you can leave your mark on Idaho. Besides, it shouldn’t bother you at all, right? Don’t you have some sort of super cold resistance from Siberia?”
Dimitri: “There you go again, convinced Siberia is like Antarctica. I’m from the southern part. The weather’s almost the same as here.”
- Dimitri Belikov & Rose Hathaway (Blood Promise)
Rose: “Okay. Now you have to move your arms and legs.”
Dimitri: “I know how to make a snow angel.”
Rose: “Then do it! Otherwise, you’re more like a chalk outline at a police crime scene.”
- Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Rose: “You think it’d be nice to have a cabin up there? Out in the woods where no one could find you?”
Dimirti: “I would think it was nice. I think you’d be bored.”
Rose: “It wouldn’t be so bad if we had cable. And Internet.” And body heat.
Dimitri: “Oh, Rose. I don’t think you’d ever be happy someplace quiet. You always need something to do.”
Rose: “Are you saying I have a short attention span?”
Dimitri: “Not at all. I’m saying there’s a fire in you that drives everything you do, that makes you need to better the world and those you love. To stand up for those who can’t. It’s one of the wonderful things about you.”
Rose: “Only one, huh?”
Dimitri: “One of many. So, no peaceful cabin for you. Not until you’re an old, old woman.”
Rose: “What, like forty?”
- Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Dimitri: “What’s that?”
Rose: “Halos. For heavenly creatures like us.”
Dimirti: “That might be a stretch.”
- Dimitri Belikov & Rose Hathaway (Blood Promise)
“Roza. You forgot my first lesson: Don’t hesitate.”
- Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Dimitri: "Why did you come here?"
Rose: "Because you hit me on the head and dragged me here." If I was going to die, I was going to go in true Rose style.
- Dimitri Belikov & Rose Hathaway (Blood Promise)
Dimitri: “You failed, you know. On the street.”
Rose: “Yeah. I kind of figured that out when I woke up here.”
- Dimitri Belikov & Rose Hathaway (Blood Promise)
"If you (Nathan) lay a hand on her, I will destroy you. I will rip your head off with my bare hands and watch it burn in the sun.”
- Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Nathan: “No, but I was ordered to babysit this door, and I’m not going to get in trouble for you taking a field trip.”
Dimitri: “I’ll deal with Galina. I’ll tell her I overpowered you. It shouldn’t be that hard for her to believe.”
- Nathan & Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Rose: “He (Marlen) wants to kill me.”
Dimitri: “All Strigoi want to kill you."
Rose: “He really does. . . . I tortured him.”
- Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Rose: “Your grandmother scared me a little.”
Dimitri: “Yes, she does that to people."
Rose: “And she pretended not to speak English.” That was a pretty small detail in the grand scheme of things, but it still kind of pissed me off.
Dimitri: “Yes, she does that too.”
- Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Rose: “Tell me again. One more time. Why do you want to awaken me so badly?”Dimitri: “Because I want you. I’ve always wanted you.”Rose - 'And that’s when I knew. I finally realized the problem. He’d given that same answer over and over, and each time, something about it had bothered me. I’d never been able to pinpoint it, though. Now I could. He wanted me. Wanted me in the way people wanted possessions or collectibles. The Dimitri I’d known . . . the one I’d fallen for and slept with . . . that Dimitri would have said he wanted us to be together because he loved me. There was no love here.'- Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)
Rose: “I will always love you.”Dimitri: “That’s what I was supposed to say. . . .”- Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Blood Promise)"One of the few downsides to being awakened is that we no longer require sleep; therefore we also no longer dream. It's a shame, because if I could dream, I know I'd dream about you."- Dimitri Belikov (Spirit Bound)
Dimitri: "You're beautiful in battle. Like an avenging angel come to deliver the justice of heaven."
Rose: "Funny. That is kind of why I'm here."
Dimitri: "Angels fall, Rose."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Dimitri: "You saved me."
Lissa: "I only did the final piece. The rest . . . well, Rose did, um, a lot."
Rose - 'Say, like, organizing a prison break and releasing fugitives.'
Dimitri Belikov, Lissa Dragomir, and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Dimitri: "They weren't supposed to let you in."
Rose: "Yeah. Well, I kind of found a work-around."
Dimitri: "Of course you did."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Dimitri: "Your optimism . . . your belief that you can make anything happen. Oh, Rose. It's one of the amazing things about you. It's also one of the most infuriating things about you."
Rose: "I believed that you could come back from being a Strigoi. Maybe my belief in the impossible isn't so crazy after all."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"You don't understand what it's like coming through what I did--coming back from being a Strigoi. It's changed everything. It's not just that what I did to you is unforgivable. All my feelings . . . my emotions for you . . . they changed. I don't feel the way I used to. I might be a dhampir again, but after what I went through . . . well, it's scarred me. It altered my soul. I can't love anyone now. I can't--I don't--love you. There's nothing more between you and me."
- Dimitri Belikov (Spirit Bound)
"I've given up on you. Love fades. Mine has."
- Dimitri Belikov (Spirit Bound)Dimitri: "I don't have to forgive myself even if God does. And I'm not sure He would."
Rose: "That priest just said God would. He said God forgives everything. Are you calling the priest a liar? That's pretty sacrilegious."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "Did you hotwire this car? Did you steal this car?"Dimitri: "You have an interesting set of morals. Breaking out of jail is okay. But steal a car, and you sound totally outraged."- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Last Sacrifice)Sydney: "You're Tainted because you joined the modern world and left behind their backward ways for you're own messed up customs."Rose: "Hey. We're not the ones with overalls and banjos."Dimitri: "Rose. Be careful. And besides we only saw one person in overalls"- Sydney Sage, Rose Hathaway, and Dimitri Belikov (Last Sacrifice)Rose: "Your Time To Sleep, Comrade"Dimitri: "You can get more rest if you need it"Rose: "No I'm fine. And remember, you're not-"Dimitri: "I know, I know. I'm not General."Rose - 'Oh lord. We finished each others jokes.'- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Last Sacrifice)Dimitri: "Sloppy. They should have switched cars."Rose: "That's Sydney's. It's not technically stolen, so it's not on any police lists. Besides, something tells me Victor and Robert aren't hot-wiring pro like somepeople are."'We'd left a string of stolen cars across the Midwest. Dimitri nodded, like I'd actually just complimented him.'- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Last Sacrifice)Rose: "I don't belong to anyone.

Who were you going for? Me or her?"Dimitri: "I don't know, Roza. I don't know."Rose: "This isn't going to be easy."Dimitri: "It never is."Rose - 'I leaned against his chest and closed my eyes. No, it wouldn't be easy, but it would be worth it. As long as we were together, it would be worth it.'- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Last Sacrifice)Rose: "See something you like?"Dimitri: "Lots"- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Last Sacrifice)
