Favorite Quotes from Goodreads members
THE MOON DWELLERS
“My dad used to say the definition of stupidity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Or maybe that was the definition of crazy.”
------
“I don't particularly like confrontation. Unfortunately, confrontation seems to like me quite a lot.”
------
“Sometimes it's best to hide in plain sight.”
------
“Sometimes, girls, you have to hit your lowest low just before you hit your highest high. It makes you appreciate the good things so much more.”
------
“Pain is the great equalizer, the cure to mental anguish, the antidote for a hopeful heart.”
------
“The beauty of physical pain is that it wipes out the other forms of pain.”
------
“You'll learn far more by listening than you ever will by speaking.”
------
“No beast of reality, or creature of imagination, is as terrible as mankind. Or as loving. It’s a contradiction. I’ve always liked contradictions. Today I see both sides of the coin unveiled in gruesome and beautiful imagery, captured by my eyes and filed away in my mind, like still shots taken by a world-renowned photographer.”
------
“I haven't done anything, except be born.”
------
“There are some things more important than your own life. Like friendship, and love, and trust, and goodness.”
------
“It's like she was metal and I was a magnet, Roc. But at the same time it felt like someone had shoved an electric wire into my skin and was frying me from the inside. It hurt like hell. No, worse than hell, Roc. And yet, somehow across the distance, through the fence, over the mob of people, I felt a pull to her, even though I knew it would hurt me to be closer to her. I probably would have just let it go, chalked it up to male hormones, but then when she acted so strong, pushed that guy... I don't know, since then I can't get her out of my mind.”
------
“It's like my mind knows to stay as far away from him as possible... but my bones, my skin quiver in his presence.”
------
“My brain is telling me to stop staring at him, but for some reason I can't. It's almost... instinct... to keep on looking at him.”
------
“I find that the less emotion I put into life, the less the past seems to hurt.”
------
“He throws his hands up in a request for mercy, but I'm not in the mood so I stab him in the heart.”
THE STAR DWELLERS
“Traaaiiinnn,” Roc repeats slowly, sounding out the word for me like I’m stupid. “T-R-A-I-N. Spell it with me, Tristan.”
FIRE COUNTRY
“When I’m sixteen and reach the midpoint of my life, I’ll have my first child. Not ’cause I want to, or ’cause I made a silly decision with a strapping young boy after sneaking a few sips of my father’s fire juice, but ’cause I must. It’s the Law of my people, the Heaters; a Law that’s kept us alive and thriving for many years. A Law I fear.”
THE EARTH DWELLERS
“You made friends with a prickler?" Hawk says, standing just inside the secret opening, apparently having come inside during my story, "I'm confused," Adele says. "At first I thought pricklers were some kind of plant, but are they an animal? Or some weird kind of person?"
"We ate your friend" Tristan says, his handsome face screwed up even more.”
------
“This girl's out of her mind, about two pebbles short of a cave-in.”
------
“He hugs me and I’m home. He kisses me and I’m never alone.”
------
“Tristan grabs my chin and pulls it toward him and then we’re ripping off our masks and kissing, his lips so soft and yet moving fiercely against mine. I wrap a hand around the back of his head, lace my fingers through his hair, breathe him in, kiss him back. My heart blossoms.”
------
“A simple touch, but it speaks so much to me. It’s the way I would touch Circ—the way he would touch me. More’n a touch—a feeling. These two mean a great deal to each other, that much is as clear as the cloudless sky above us.”
ANGEL EVOLUTION
“As they say, with great power comes great responsibility.”
“Are you screwin’ with me, man?” Taylor asked bluntly.”
------
“Do demons even have to brush their teeth?”
Chris chuckled. “I brush my teeth and even floss sometimes. I also eat, shower and sleep, too.”
