    Patrick Ness
    “It's not that you should never love something so much that it can control you.

    It's your best strength.”

    Patrick Ness
    “Here's what I think," I say and my voice is stronger and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into my noise like whispers of truth. "I think maybe everybody falls," I say. "I think maybe we all do. And I don't think that's the asking."
    I pull on her arms gently to make sure she's listening.
    "I think the asking is whether we get back up again.”
    ― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go

    Markus Zusak
    “How about a kiss, Saumensch?"

    He stood waist-deep in the water for a few moments longer before climbing out and handing her the book. His pants clung to him, and he did not stop walking. In truth, I think he was afraid. Rudy Steiner was scared of the book thief's kiss. He must have longed for it so much. He must have loved her so incredibly hard. So hard that he would never ask for her lips again and would go to his grave without them.”
