    John Green
    “There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    “I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

    "Augustus," I said.

    "I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    Virginia De Winter
    “Una statua dallo splendore del marmo di luna e una bellezza straziante da fare desiderare anche l’Inferno per poterla vedere ancora. L’aveva distratta per un istante, emergendo sul terrore folle che le invadeva il cervello.
    Né morto né vivo, una creatura del sangue che cammina per l’eternità su quella soglia che agli umani è consentito varcare una volta soltanto, senza ritorno”
    Virginia De Winter, L'Ordine della spada

    “The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.”

    “Trovo che sarebbe un gran bel personaggio per un musical di Broadway," dissi ridendo, anche se non mi veniva affatto da ridere. Guardai l'orologio. Il taxi di Lindy sarebbe arrivato da un momento all'altro. Il suo pullman partiva tra un'ora. Se fossimo stati in un film, in una di quelle commedie strappalacrime, ci sarebbe stata una qualche scena drammatica in cui io sarei corso alla stazione dei pullman e l'avrei implorata di restare, e Lindy, capendo infine cosa provava per me, mi avrebbe baciato. Io mi sarei trasformato. E saremmo vissuti per sempre felici e contenti.
    Nella vita reale Will mi chiede cosa ne pensassi del pensiero politico di Hugo ne I miserabili, e io gli risposi, anche se non ricordo cosa. Ma seppi l'attimo (9:42) in cui il taxi accostò sul vialetto per prenderla. La sentii arrivare alla stazione dei pullman (10:27) e seppi l'istante (11:05) in cui il pullman partì. Non guardai niente di tutto questo nello specchio. Lo sapevo e basta. Non c'era nessun lieto fine. C'era solo una fine.”
    Alex Flinn, Beastly

    Richelle Mead
    “Did you see that dress?” "I saw the dress.” "Did you like it?” He didn't answer. I took that as a yes. "Am I going to endanger my reputation if I wear it to the dance?” When he spoke, I could barely hear him. "You'll endanger the school.” I smiled and fell asleep.”
    Richelle Mead, Vampire Academy

    “The spell. Victor said you had to want me... to care about me... for it to work." When he didn't say anything, I tried to grip his shirt, but my fingers were too weak. "Did you? Did you want me?"
    His words came out thickly. "Yes, Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish... we could be together."
    "Then why did you lie to me?"
    We reached the clinic, and he managed to open the door while still holding me. As soon as he stepped inside, he began yelling for help.
    "Why did you lie?" I murmured again.
    Still holding me in his arms, he looked down at me. I could hear voices and footsteps getting closer.
    "Because we can't be together."
    "Because of the age thing, right?" I asked. "Because you're my mentor?"
    His fingertip gently wiped away a tear that had escaped down my cheek. "That's part of it," he said. "But also... well, you and I will both be Lissa's gaurdians someday. I need to protect her at all cost. If a pack of Strogoi come, I need to throw my body between them and her."
    I know that. Of course that's what you have to do." The black sparkles were dancing in front of my eyes again. I was fading out.
    "No. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you.”

    “No," Dimitri interrupted gently. He moved his face toward mine, our foreheads nearly touching. "It won't happen to you. You're too strong. You'll fight it, just like you did this
    time."
    "I only did because you were here." He wrapped his arms around me, and I buried my face in his chest. "I can't do it by myself," I whispered.
    "You can," he said. There was a tremulous note in his voice. "You're strong—you're so, so strong. It's why I love you.”
    Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss

    “I’d said it before and meant it: Alive or undead, the love of my life was a badass.”
    Richelle Mead, Blood Promise

    “Stop fighting me!" he said, trying to pull on the arm he held.

    He was in a precarious position himself, straddling the rail as he tried to lean over far enough to get me and actually hold onto me.

    “Let go of me!” I yelled back.

    But he was too strong and managed to haul most of me over the rail, enough so that I wasn’t in total danger of falling again.

    See, here’s the thing. In that moment before I let go, I really had been contemplating my death. I’d come to terms with it and accepted it. I also, however, had known Dimitri might do something exactly like this. He was just that fast and that good. That was why I was holding my stake in the hand that was dangling free.

    I looked him in the eye. "I will always love you."

    Then I plunged the stake into his chest.

    It wasn’t as precise a blow as I would have liked, not with the skilled way he was dodging. I struggled to get the stake in deep enough to his heart, unsure if I could do it from this angle. Then, his struggles stopped. His eyes stared at me, stunned, and his lips parted, almost into a smile, albeit a grisly and pained one.

    "That’s what I was supposed to say. . .” he gasped out.

    Those were his last words.”
    Richelle Mead, Blood Promise

    John Green
    “Nel tardo inverno dei miei sedici anni mia madre ha deciso che ero depressa, presumibilmente perché non uscivo molto di casa, passavo un sacco di tempo a letto, rileggevo infinite volte lo stesso libro, mangiavo molto poco e dedicavo parecchio del mio tempo libero a pensare alla morte.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    “I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
    In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

    “The moon is a loyal companion.
    It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
    Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

    “Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat. That I have one, too.”

    “His smile is laced with dynamite. "Go to sleep"
    "Go to hell."
    He works his jaw. Walks to the door. "I'm working on it.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

    “And that's just it, isn't it? That's how we manage to survive the loss. Because love, it never dies, it never goes away, it never fades, so long as you hang on to it.”
    Gayle Forman, If I Stay
