    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    “You're learning. So why don't we stop pretending? It's so much easier when you give up all those illusions and realize that the only justice you'll get in this life is the justice you dish out. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, mate. You need to sharpen your teeth. Don't get angry. Get even.”

    “What do you see in a guy like Christian Prescott?" he asked me that night when he dropped me off from prom. And what he was really saying then, what would have come through loud and clear if I hadn't been so blind was, why don't you see me?

    “Tucker," I say. "I'm so glad you're still here."

    Cynthia Hand
    Think about a good memory, she whispers in my mind. Remember a moment when you loved him.

    And just like that, I do.

    "What did the fish say when it hit a concrete wall?" he asked me. We're sitting on the bank of a stream and he's tying a fly onto my fishing rod, wearing a cowboy hat and red lumberjack-style flannel shirt over a gray tee. So adorable.
    "What?" I say, he grins. Unbelievable of how gorgeous he is. And that he's mine. He loves me and I love him.
    "Dam!" he says.

    Cynthia Hand, Unearthly

    “So there's magic? Real magic? It's not just all scientific like David says?"
    Tamani rolled his eyes. "David again?"
    Laurel bristled. "He's my friend. My best friend."
    "Not your boyfriend?"
    "No. I mean...no."
    Tamani stared at her for several seconds. "So the position's still open?"
    Laurel rolled her eyes. "We are so not having this conversation.”
    Aprilynne Pike, Wings

  • #25
    “And do you really think someone's going to look at you and say, 'Hmm, I think that girl's a plant'?”
    Aprilynne Pike, Wings

  • #26
    “It's your call," he said softly, "but whatever you decide, I'll help you." He placed a soft, warm hand at the back of her neck and Laurel's breath caught in her chest. "Whatever you need, I'll be. If you need the science geek to give you answers from a textbook, I'm your guy; if you just want a friend to sit by you in bio and help you feel better when you're sad, I'm still your guy." His thumb slowly stroked across her earlobe and down her cheek. "And if you need someone to hold you and protect you from anyone in the world who might want to hurt you, then I am definitely your guy." His pale-blue eyes bore into hers, and for a second she couldn't breath. "But it's all up to you," he whispered.”
    Aprilynne Pike, Wings

  • #27
    “Are you free to be anything more than a friend to me? If," and she stressed the if heavily, "I ever decided to live in Avalon and wanted to be with you, would you be free enough to do that?"
    He looked away, and Laurel could tell he'd been avoiding a conversation like this.
    "Well?" she insisted.
    "If you wanted it," he finally said.
    "If I wanted it?"
    He nodded. "I'm not allowed to ask. You would have to ask me."
    Her breath caught in her chest, and Tamani looked at her.
    "Why do you think David bothers me so much?"
    Laurel looked down at her lap.
    "I can't just storm in and proclaim my intentions. I can't 'steal' you away. I just have to wait and hope that, someday, you'll ask."
    "And if I don't?" Laurel said, her voice barley above a whisper.
    "Then I guess I'll wait forever.”
    Aprilynne Pike, Spells

    Carol Lynch Williams
    “Hope,
    Lizzie says
    my name over

    and
    over
    and
    over
    again.
    Hope!

    And, oh,
    I stand there.

    Oh, my heart.

    I stand there,
    still.”
    Carol Lynch Williams, Glimpse

    “If you really want me to be safe, maybe it's time."

    "I'd just feel safer if you'd start sleeping in a coffin."

    Just then my door creaked open.

    Billy's expression turned to surprise.

    "Get out!" I said, hopping off the bed. "Uh...we are making up lyrics to a song."

    But that didn't keep Billy out. Instead he was totally interested.

    "You're writing a song? That's so cool. I want to hear it."

    "It goes, 'Safer in a coffin, and if your brother doesn't leave, he'll be in one too.”
    Ellen Schreiber, Cryptic Cravings
