I can’t read your mind, you idiot.

I have been bent and broken, but—I hope—into a better shape.

Lying on the ceiling. Refusing to go to school. Not opening up to me. Climbing water towers. “No, she’s all right.

They really hate you, yes they do. They hate everyone, how ’bout you?

There was a choice to be made, and Lena hadn’t made it. The songs never lied. At least, they hadn’t yet.

Lena was going down the list of John’s attributes in her mind, a list I was hoping wasn’t too long. “He could see and hear and smell things I couldn’t.”Link inhaled deeply, then coughed. “Dude,...

It was like being born in Germany after World War II, being from Japan after Pearl Harbor, or America after Hiroshima. History was a bitch sometimes. You couldn’t change where you were from. But still,...

The stars look like they’re so close, you could reach out and touch them. But you can’t. Sometimes things look a lot closer than they are.

I care. They bother me. And that’s why I’m stupid. That makes me exponentially more stupid than stupid. I’m stupid to the power of stupid.

Coming into your powers can be a very confusing time. Perhaps there is a book on the subject. If you like, we can go see Marian.”Yeah, right. Choices and Changes. A Modern Girl’s Guide to...

The stuffs you’re good at and the stuffs you’re bad at are just different parts of the same thing. Same goes for people you love and the people you don’t. And the people who love...

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...

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.
