He knew that people were staring at him. He looked different. Even different from other Erasers. He wasn’t as —seamless. He didn’t look as human as the rest of them did when they weren’t morphed....

Some days I wonder if I stopped writing about him, if I’d love him a little less.

How to arrive unexpectedly and invisibly: show up looking poor, but not homeless.

No. Ye loved him. I canna hold it against either of you that ye mourn him. And it gives me some comfort to know …” He hesitated, and I reached up to smooth the rumpled...

Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall–the blind belief in fate, the whole...

Dust Glitter Rain

Letting go. Everyone talks about it like it’s the easiest thing.

Have all beautiful things sad destinies?

Loving you was like jumping into the dark side of a pool, and drowning.

This position I’ve held … it pays may way and it corrodes my soul.

I’d love to promise a lifetime to you. I just don’t have one to give.

I believe you. It’s okay because I understand and I believe you.

You and I both know that love is for children,” he said. ”We’re adults. Compatibility is for adults.””Compatibility is for my Bluetooth and my car,” Teresa replied. ”Only they get along just fine, and my...

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.

I’d been doing everything to please everyone else and some imaginary me.

No use in crying over a boy because there are plenty more just like him

Bob says hello.

my own chocolate center has filled up with poison,the roses he gave me all twisted black

The silence is the worst part of any fight, because it’s made up of all the things we wish we could say, if only we had the guts.

That old feeling is still in my leaking heart.

I would have thought this would make me feel better.. getting to be the one to leave and not the one left behind. But it didn’t. Not at all.

She had never had a daydream that dreamed itself, like nightmares. That crawled out of her brain like a creature of the dark. A daymare.

He stepped off the pavement like a man jumping off a bridge, as calm as a swimmer with an ocean out below. Lucy had known what he was going to do the instant their eyes...

The earth’s orbit didn’t slow down. The world didn’t stop falling. Slowly, very, very slowly, Michael started to sink to his knees.

I’m living under water. Everything seems slow and far away. I know there’s a world up there, a sunlit quick world where time runs like dry sand through an hourglass, but down here, where I...

I didn’t want to fall in love. Looking at you gave me chills and kissing you made my knees weak. You made flowers grow and fill the space in my lungs which made it impossible...

Maybe I’d see how you could be so certain that we had no chance…at all.

He’s an artist in London. We don’t see him much.”Tom gave him one of his quick, considering glances and asked, “Doesn’t he live with you?””No,” said Indigo, finally saying out loud what he had known...

Stain my eyes as I may, on all sides all is black.

Behind the building was a field and when the potpourri scent of her cleaner made me sneeze, I went outside. There were calves there, these sweet things that watched me with less interest than I...

She is no longer a person in his life; instead, she is a person that other people will remind him of.

Fireheart tensed, waiting for whatever had hunted down these apprentices to emerge from the trees and attack, but nothing stirred. Feeling as if his legs hardly belonged to him, he sprang down and stumbled across...

Life for me is just a result of experiments being performed by far more developed creatures.

J Abrams was driving off into the big stupid vermilion sky, and even though the color had been my favorite, I was sure that from now on, every time I looked at it I would...

An awfulness was deep inside me, and I couldn’t fight it; forced into submission and taken hostage by it, I could only just lie there, let it wash over me, and let myself be consumed...

but good girls dont do that, dont make a fuss, dont upset parents. and i was a good girl so i curled up on the floor and sobbed silently instead

I think how the world is still somehow beautiful even when I feel no joy at being alive within it.

Learn this now and learn it well. Like a compass facing north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.

I won’t let that night ruin you forever.” But it did, it broke me into a million pieces and blew them away in the wind, like crumbled leaves.
