It was unbelievable. She was standing there, staring at him like he was a real rock star.

Don’t think so. We all make our choices, and those choices have consequences.

She closed her eyes, and I closed mine, and even though we weren’t holding hands, it felt like we were.Because what we had, we knew.

I guess the sky in real life isn’t actually perfect. Maybe that’s what makes it so perfect.

Knowing you don’t have much time left changes things. You get kind of philosophical. And you figure things out-more like, they figure themselves out-and everything gets real clear.

I wanted to stay this way forever.Which, it turns out, was exactly five more minutes.

I’m not even sure we remembered to kiss. What we had went deeper than a kiss

Are you kidding? I’m supposed to put my books in this filthy tin coffin?

Hey, Ethan.””Yeah?””Remember the Twinkie on the bus? The one I gave you in second grade, the day we met?””The one you found on the floor and gave me without telling me? Nice.”He grinned and shot...

I couldn’t look at her. I’d been jealous and hurt, and I had dragged Liv into the middle of my own broken mess of a life. All because I thought Lena didn’t love me anymore....

In one moment I was feeling everything and I was feeling nothing.

Life without Ethan was something worse than a nightmare.It was real.So real that I refused to believe it.

Link says if a girl says not to get her a birthday present that means get me a birthday present and make sure it’s jewelry.

The right thing and the easy thing are never the same.

There’s something about sitting alone in the dark that reminds you how big the world really is, and how far apart we all are.

Books?” Ridley looked disgusted. “Carry?

When you look up/ Do you see the blue sky of what might be / Or the darkness of what will never be? / Do you see me?Kami Garcia/Margaret Stohl

These are the kinds of things a guy thinks about when he visits his own grave.

Dig deep. Find your way to your soul.

Teenagers. Everything is so apocalyptic.

It’s funny how you can live somewhere your whole life, but not really see it.

Evil doesn’t always have one face, Ethan.

But when you’re in love, you’re not in control of what you think or say or do. And there is nothing I love more than control, and nothing I love less than not having it....

Lena’s hair was sticking out in about fifteen directions, and her eyes were all small and puffy from crying. So this was what girls looked like in the morning. I had never seen one, not...

If you could imagine the color of anger, it had been splashed over every wall. Rage, something dense and seething, was hanging from every chandelier, resentment woven into thick carpets padding the room, hatred flickering...

There’s something about sitting alone in the dark that reminds you how big the world really is, and how far apart we all are. The stars look like they’re so close, you could reach out...

Ridley was like a beautiful snake – you couldn’t let her get close without the risk of being bitten.

Because saving the people you love isn’t stupid. It isn’t even a choice

I had never been this mad at her before. It was one thing to be attacked by someone you hated, but this was something else. This was the kind of hurt that could only be...

We both loved her. And you couldn’t control who you loved, even if you wanted to.

Wait, I got it. We, uh, won the battle and lost the war, or was it the other way around? ‘Cause around here, it’s hard to tell sometimes.

Her voice, unfolding like a tiny bright memory in the darkest, furthest corner of my mind.

Sometimes I didn’t think the world was worth it.Saving.Sometimes I didn’t think I was worth it either.

Hey Rid?”She stopped and turned to look at him, almost ruefully. Like she couldn’t help what she was any more then a shark could help being a shark, but if she could…”Yeah, Shrinky Dink?””You’re not...

We don’t get to chose what is true. We only get to choose what we do about it.

She didn’t say a work, and I gave up trying, because you couldn’t hear either one of us over the shattering noise of hearts breaking and the looming shadow of the last word, the one...

Let her have today.Leave tomorrow to the angels.

She was rage and vengeance, wrath and malice, in beautifully twisted human form.

Her eyes were like the sea before a storm on the Carolina coast.

You’re so full of crap, you could pass for a toilet.

I am the Lilum. Time. Truth. Destiny. The Endless River. The Wheel of Fate. You do not command me.

You’re incredibly, absolutely, extremely, supremely, unbelievably different.

Got it. Demon. Death. Doom.

In Light there is Dark, and in Dark there is Light.

The poems are all wrong. It’s a bang, a really big bang. Not a whimper. And sometimes gold can stay.

History was a bitch sometimes. You couldn’t change where you were from. But still, you didn’t have to stay there. You didn’t have to stay stuck in the past, like the ladies in the DAR,...

I pushed her shiny blond hair away from her face and leaned down, our faces only inches apart. She inhaled softly, our lips so close I could feel her breath and the scent of her...

Are you insinuatin’ that my daughter is a liar?””Oh, no, not at all. I’m saying your daughter is a liar. Surely you can appreciate the difference.

My body was jerking and shaking, and I remembered John when he was in the Tunnels with Lena. The weird jerking and twitching he seemed unable to control.Was this what it felt like to be...
