Quotes by Lauren James  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Love take so much energy, and it just leads to pain. I think it's probably best for people to be self-sufficient. If I was strong enough to be independent, then I wouldn't be so desperately lonely. I'm sure of it,”
Lauren James, The Loneliest Girl in the Universe

“It's hard to focus on the future when the past is so distracting.”
Lauren James, The Loneliest Girl in the Universe

“I just want someone who holds on. Someone who won't ever let me go, whatever tries to tear us apart. Is that too much to ask?”
Lauren James, The Loneliest Girl in the Universe

“I love you. In every life, I love you. I love you so much.”
Lauren James, The Next Together

“I can remember thinking I’d been turned inside out. Kind of like the first time I saw you.”
Lauren James, The Last Beginning

“All I'm doing is carrying you around, and making a fool of myself. I’m useless. I’m not helping anyone.’’

‘’Clove Sutcliffe, you are doing things no human has ever done before. You are groundbreaking. You are unique. Do not cease to function due to inappropriate emotional weakness.”
Lauren James, The Last Beginning

“I really am sorry."
Clove could feel Ella’s heartbeat thumping against the skin. It sent shivers through her. Her breath came out too sharp. She wanted to cradle Ella’s cheek, to push her fingers into her hair. “I didn’t want to have to regret becoming emotionally invested in you,” she said in a whisper.”
Lauren James, The Last Beginning

“Kate cleared her throat. She looked between the two of them. “Uh, how did you two
meet?”
“Ella stalked me,” Clove replied at the same time as Ella said, “I saved her life.”
Lauren James, The Last Beginning
