"He made me feel unhinged . . . like he could take me apart and put me back together again and again."

"Those sweet lips. My, oh my, I could kiss those lips all night long.Good things come to those who wait."

"Your voice sounds like a midnight fire. All warm and worn in and golden. I could listen to you talk forever.""I could never do that". She laughed at him. He brought his lips to her ear. "Your scent is like violets early in spring,"he whispered. Then he laughed at himself because though it was true, he sounded like the worst kind of fool."

"Please. Forgive me. One more chance, Blaire. I want this. I want you."

"Show yourself to the darkness, they said, and then you will see your face."--Nero SlyvenskiALL LIGHT WILL FALL"

"It's taken me all this time, all this loss, to realize what really matters is now."

"You naked in my bed is even more unbelievably beautiful than I thought it would be... and trust me I've thought about it. A lot."

"I didn't want it to be one good memory that led to a lot of bad ones. I wanted it to stay what it was, one amazing moment, something that was strong and sweet enough to stand on its own. Something I could remember without any pain. - Kate"

"Jase props himself up on an elbow, looking at me for a minute without saying anything. His face gets an unreadable expression, and I wish I could take back walking over.Then he observes, “I’m guessing that’s a uniform.”Crap. I’d forgotten I was still wearing it."

"...Life is much simpler if you don’t notice anything...."

"He would reach for me in the middle of the night, nearly every single night, wrapping one of those solid arms around my waist and pulling me in close. So. Close."

"And to think of all the colors in the world, blood chose to be red."

"Vane’s lips tightened to suppress a smile. “Why so hostile, love?”“You whacked me on the head with a ball!”“You deserved it."

"Life is a gift. Don't forget to live it."

"Do you think we can be friends?” I asked.He stared up at the ceiling. “Probably not, but we can pretend."

"Right. Because if you have trouble putting ketchup and mustard on a hot dog, you should totally move on to saving lives."

"Wow,” said Adrian. He sat down on the bed and tested its bounciness, giving it a nod of approval. “This is amazing. What do you think, buttercup?”“I have no words,” I said honestly.He patted the spot beside him. “Want to try it out?"

"I do have a point to all this,” she continues. “There are like twenty people in that waiting room right now. Some of them are related to you. Some of them are not. But we’re all your family.” She stops now. Leans over me so that the wisps of her hair tickle my face. She kisses me on the forehead. “You still have a family,” she whispers."

"Sometimes letting go is the only way to find out who you're meant to hold on to."

"There are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you, people say one thing and mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you have to know what you can and can't do."
