About This Quote

If you’re trying to reassure me, don’t make it sound like you want to eat me. If you want to reassure me, then do it in a way that does not make me feel like you are trying to eat me. This quote is by Neil Gaiman and is from his novel, "Stardust." The story starts off with the main characters Cressida and Tarn kissing in Cressida's garden. It's very sensual and intimate.

Gard is worried about the fact that Tarn is attempting to be sexual with her when she already has feelings for him. She is afraid that if he knew how she really felt, he wouldn't like her anymore.
