“I feel the healinghands of Godtouch my heartand kiss my soul.”

“I felt his voice as a sweet kiss on my soul.”

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”

“As I gave my hand to one and then another of the Winter Knights, hoping to forget Kian's kiss in the arms of the other dancers, I could feel Kian's eyes piercing through me, their flame-tinged ice searing through my soul.”

“I could have kisses like that for the rest of my life. Kisses that don't know who I am. Kisses that make me feel more and less than what I am. But my finger tap tap taps on my leg and reminds me that I am not who Adam thinks I am, and it makes me want to cry. It's not that I don't deserve his kiss. It's that the person I am can never really share a life, a soul, with the person he is.”

“When I kiss Agathon my soul is on my lips, where it comes, poor thing, hoping to cross over.”
