“There is no darkness as dark as a great light corrupted.”

“But you were only sixteen and not far off from the truth, as only sixteen-year-olds can be.”

“And she knew without opening her eyes that it was Daniel. No other body in the universe fit hers so well.”

“What you call love does not sound very beautiful.”

“...Love is the only thing worth fighting for- Daniel, to The Throne”

“I can't wait to make you the love of my mortal life.”

“The past is important for all the information and wisdom it holds. But you can get lost in it. You've got to learn to keep the knowledge of the past with you as you pursue the present.”

“Friendship, Roland realized, was its very own kind of love.”

“Then the angels, the demon, and the Nephilim flew to distant corners of the sky, leaving a moment's brilliant flash of light behind them, as below, Luce and Daniel fell in love for the first-and the last- time”

“Free will...it's all the rage these days”

“Luce and Daniel fell in love for the first- and the last- time”

“There is always some regret when we accept that love has moved away from us”

“You have to stop loving me.Because I stopped loving you.”

“Fear is the only way to greet the devil.”

“I want you to know that I would do it all again. I will choose you every time.”

“Inspiration is an excuse for doing something you already want to do.”

“You must remember how to dream what you already know.”

“Trust is a careless pursuit.”

“Heartbreak is its own form of amnesia.”

“She would not stop until she beat the devil.”

“This is why angels choose sides, why people join teams. It costs too much not to; it weighs too heavily to soldier on alone.”

“Grief can choke you. It’s dangerous, something else you have to beat.”

“Strangling is the most intimate way to kill someone,”

“Was their love worth the erasure of the world and all its stories?”

“The best part was now. That was what she would take with her from her journeys through the ages: He was worth everything to her and she was worth everything to him. The only way to experience that deep level of their love was to enter each new moment together, as if time were made of clouds. And if it came down to it these next nine days, Luce knew that she and Daniel would risk everything for their love.”

“I love you too much to say goodbye.”

“I thought that what I felt for you was right," Luce said. "I loved you until it hurt me, until our love was consumed by your pride and rage. The thing you called love made me disappear. So I had to stop loving." She Paused. "Our adoration never diminished the Throne, but your love diminished me. I never meant to hurt you. I only meant to stop you from hurting me.”

“I choose my love for Lucinda," he called to Heaven and Earth, to the angels all around him and the ones who weren't there. To the soul of the one true thing he loved the most, wherever she was. "I now reaffirm my choice: I choose Lucinda over everything. And I will until the end." -Daniel Grigori, Passion”

“Luce blushed. "Then what kind of angel are you?""I'm sort of in between gigs right now," Daniel said.”

“What if you find your soul mate... at the wrong time?”

“Sometimes love needed a lift from its guardian angels, to get its feet off the ground. But once it made its first early beats toward flight, it had to be trusted to take wing on its own and soar past the highest conceivable heights, into the heavens-and beyond.”

“All that is good in Heaven and on Earth is born of love. This war is not just. This war is not good. Love is the only thing worth fighting for.”

“Suicide was a mortal luxury not afforded to angels.”

“Every single lifetime, I'll choose you.Just as you have always chosen me. Forever.”

“some angels are destined to fall”

“you caught me" Luce said."I'll always catch you when you fall" said Daniel”

“ Those lips looked tasty, especially when they said things like ' i jumped up every time someone knocked, hoping it's be you”

“ She spotted a lone dandelion,and it crossed her mind that a younger Luce would have pounced on it and then made a wish and blown. But this Luce's wishes felt too heavy for something so light.”

“Daniel: "Not so long that I forgot that you're worth everything. Every sacrifice. Every pain.”

“The voice sank through luce's skin and straight into her heart. Daniel's voice. He was calling to her. He wanted her. Needed her. Luce moved towards the sound”

“One day, our love will conquer this dark circle. That's worth everything to me”

“Luce: You could have kept your promises.Daniel: I promised I'd stay.”

“I can resist you or flee from you or try my hardest not to respond to you, but it makes no difference. You fall in love with me, and I with you". Daniel to Luce Page 352”

“Luce: "But what about all those other times, when I die before we kiss, before--" Bill: "Before you even have a chance to see how toxic your relationship might become?”

“Oooh!" Bill squealed. "Very rococo." "So, I'm really doing this? I'm just going to go down there and pretend--" (Luce) "No pretending." Bill shook his head. "Own it. Own that cleavage, girl, you know you want to.”

“You're an angel", Luce said, "I'm in love with an angel".”

“People are here because they've got baggage. I'm talking curbside-check-in, pay-the-fine-'cause-it's-over-fifty-pounds kind of baggage. Get it?”

“I cannot be other than what I am, and I am the choices of all my days.”

“Molly slapped the lid back down then pushed past Luce into the foyer stumbling over Shelby in her path. “Excuse you ” they said gruffly at the same time eyeing each other suspiciously. “Oh good. ” Gabbe leaned in to give Luce a hug. “Molly'’s made a friend.””

““Don'’t worry."” Arriane stood next to Luce. “This place is like a reject revolving door. People come and go all the time because of some parole issue crazy parents whatever. Randy'’s off tonight. No one else gives a damn. If anyone gives you a second look— just give ’em a third one. Or send them over to me.”" She made a fist.”
