“She had the power to destroy. I had only seen the power to love. When you discovered both, who could figure out what to do with that?”

“Ethan, I love you. Don’t leave me. I can’t do this without you.If there was moonlight, I could have seen his face. But there was no moon, not now, and the only light came from the fire, still frozen, surrounding me on every side. The sky was empty, absolutely black. There was nothing. I had lost everything tonight.I sobbed until I couldn’t breathe and my fingers slipped through his, knowing I would never feel those fingers in my hair again.Ethan.”

“When everything seems like its changed…its because things have." Ethan Wate in Beautiful Creatures.”

“Nobody the dead man & Nobody the livingNobody is giving in & Nobody is givingNobody hears me but just Nobody caresNobody fears me but Nobody just staresNobody belongs to me & Nobody remainsNo Nobody knows nothingAll that remains are remains”

“You can read minds, and you didn't tell me?” Link stared at me like he just found out I was the Silver Surfer. He rubbed his head nervously. “Hey, man, all that stuff about Lena? I was yankin’ your chain.” He looked away. “Are you doin’ it now? You're doin’ it, aren't you? Dude, get out of my head.” He backed away from me and into the bookshelf.“I can't read your mind, you idiot.”

“I grabbed Aunt Prue's tiny hand, her fingers as small as bare twigs in winter. I closed my eyes and took her other hand, twisting my strong fingers together with her frail ones. I rested my forehead against our hands and closed my eyes. I imagined lifting my head up and seeing her smiling, the tape and tubes gone. I wondered if wishing was the same thing as praying. If hoping for something badly enough could make it happen.”

“Sometimes everyone does the right thing and there's still a mess left to clean up. Someone has to take responsibility for it.”

“One day you're gonna pick a hole in the sky and the universe is gonna fall right through.”

“I want you here. I don't care if it's a hundred degrees and every blade of grass dies. Without you, none of that matters to me.”

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

“The one broken window that permanently wouldn't roll up had destroyed her perfectly curled blond prom-hair, and by the time we got to the gym she looked like Marie Antoinette with bedhead.”

“I'd ridden to school with Link every day since kindergarten, when we became best friends after he gave me half his Twinkie on the bus. I only found out later it had fallen on the floor.”

“She leaned into my shoulder. "Maybe you don't have to be a Caster to have power."I pushed her hair behind her ear. "Maybe you just have to fall for one.”

“No, I'm too busy trying to deflect your Power of Stupidity. But I don't think I'm strong enough.”

“I wish I could print up a sign and tape it on my forehead. I OFFICIALLY DO NOT WANT TO KISS ETHAN WATE. NOW PLEASE LET ME BE FRIENDS WITH HIM.”

“The mortal world is in a state of Beautiful Chaos and destruction, which will ultimately lead to an exquisite end.”

“I'll love you until the day after forever.”

“I needed to touch her, like I needed to breathe.”

“Ethan: I love you, I whispered in her ear.She held my face in her hands and leaned back so she could look at me.Lena: I don't think I could ever love anything the way I love you.”

“no light no dark no you no meknow light know dark know you know me”

“The lonely reality of the truth-that the most important person in your life suddenly ceased to exist. Which on a bad day meant maybe she had never existed at all. And on a good day, there was the other fear. That even if you were a hundred percent sure she had been there, maybe you were the only one who cared or remembered.”

“It was crazy how a hearse and a pair of sneakers could cheer a guy up.”

“They're headed for some place called the Great Barrier.""A place that doesn't exist." Liv was shaking her head, checking the rotating dials on her wrist.Link pushed away his plate, still covered with food. "So let me get this straight. We're gonna go down into theTunnels and find this moon outta time with Liv's fancy watch?""Selenometer." Liv didn't look up from copying numbers from the dials into her red notebook.”

“I suppose I am a snob. I loathe towns. I loathe townspeople. They have small minds and giant backsides. Which is to say, what they lack in interiors they make up in posteriors.”

“I believe the term you’re searching for is smoking jacket. I find, now that I have whole days of sunshine ahead of me, I’ve discovered there is more to life than formal haberdashery.”

“I don’t think Kitchen makes this. What’s it called again?""Jell-O Surprise." Link grinned."What’s the surprise?" Ridley examined the red gelatin more closely."What they put in it.”

“Don't run away. Im not running away. Im already gone.-Lena and Ethan”

“Running to stand still-Lena”

“I'm afraid. I know L. I don't want you to get hurt. I won't. What if you do. I'll wait for you. Even if I'm dark? Even if you're very very dark.”

“The toes of our ratty black sneakers touched.”

“The Sisters were Southern Baptist, and they went to church on Saturdays and Sundays, and most other days, too.”

“Everyone under the age of sixty called it the War Between the States, while everyone over sixty called it the War of Northern Aggression, as if somehow the North had baited the South into war over a bad bale of cotton.Read”

“Fate is a wheel that turns without our hand”

“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 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 inflicted by someone you loved, who you thought loved you. It was sort of like being stabbed from the inside out.”

“Books?" Ridley looked disgusted. "Carry?”

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

“no elegimos la verdad, solo nuestra actitud frente a ella.”

“Well? Is it true? Did she?""Did she what?""You know. Fall outta the crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down?”

“I'm just the librarian. I can only give you the books. I can't give you the answers.”

“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.”

“We're gonna be late for English, and I gotta take these pantyhose off on the way. I'm gettin' a serious wedgie.”

“A vegetarian? Are you insane? That's worse than bein' a quarter demon!”

“There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave.I never even saw it coming.”

“They really hate you, yes they do. They hate everyone, how 'bout you?”

“I loved her, atom by atom, one burning cell at a time.”

“I knew what they were doing - or more like not doing. Leaving. I shook my head. "You guys are idiots."Link grinned. "I'd have gone with 'brave as hell,' myself.”

“Think of me as the praying mantis of the supernatural world.Aren't those the bugs that bite the heads off the males? Link looked skeptical.Yes. Then they eat them”

“You can't jump off a cliff when you have already fallen off a bigger one.”

“What is the opposite of two? A lonely me and a lonely you.”
