For a long moment there was only the whirring sound of the tires on the road, and then Sam said softly, "Thank you.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

    “Do you really want to know where we come from?" she said. "In every century, in every country, they'll call us something different. They'll say we're ghosts, angels, demons, elemental spirits, and giving us a name doesn't help anybody. When did a name change what someone is?”

    “I'm not normal, Tate."

    “Goodbye," she said.
    When I didn't say it back, she rested her hand on the top of my head. The weight was strange and gentle. "I love you," she said. "And when I tell you goodbye, I don't mean forever or for long. Just that I'm going home now, and so are you.”

    Brenna Yovanoff
    “I looked at the ground and the dark, drizzling sky and pretty much anyplace that wasn't her. "I like you. A lot." When I finally glanced at her, my face was hot and it was hard to keep looking.

    She squinted up at me. Then she crossed her arms. "This is a really inappropriate place to be having this conversation."

    "I know. I like you anyway."

    Saying it a third time was like breaking some kind of spell. Her face went soft and far away.

    "Don't say that unless you mean it."

    "I don't say anything I don't mean.”

    “There are all kinds of things that can scare you every day. What if someone you know gets cancer? What if something happens to you sister or your friends or your parents? And what if you get hit by a car crossing the street or the kids at school find out what an unnatural freak you are and what if you go too far out in the lake and the water is over your head and what if there's a fire or a war?
    And you can lie awake at night and worry about these things because it's scary and unpredictable, but it's REAL. It's possible."
    -Mackie Doyle, The Replacement”

    “When Adam kissed him, it was every mile per hour Ronan had ever gone over the speed limit. It was every window-down, goose-bumps-on-skin, teeth-chattering-cold night drive. It was Adam’s ribs under Ronan’s hands and Adam’s mouth on his mouth, again and again and again. It was stubble on his lips and Ronan having to stop, to get his breath, to restart his heart. They were both hungry animals, but Adam had been starving for far longer.”

    "No," he said.
    "Kiss me."
    "No," And then he smiled. "You kiss me."

    “Now that number was gone, covered up by the jet-black image of a chess piece. Neil's knowledge of chess was hazy at best, but he knew for sure that wasn't a king. "You did it," Neil said, too stunned to manage anything else. "Let Riko be King," Kevin said, with the exaggerated enunciation of the thoroughly sloshed. "Most coveted, most protected. He'll sacrifice every piece he has to protect his throne. Whatever. Me?" Kevin gestured again, meaning to indicate himself but too drunk to get his hand higher than his waist. "I'm going to be the deadliest piece on the board." "Queen," Andrew said somewhere behind Neil.”
    Nora Sakavic, The King's Men
