    Lucy Christopher
    “You said you knew the perfect place to run to. A place that was empty of people, and buildings, and far, far away. A place covered in blood-red earth and sleeping life. A place longing to come alive again. It's a place for disappearing, you'd said, a place for getting lost... and for getting found.
    I'll take you there, you'd said.
    And I could say that I agreed.”
    Lucy Christopher, Stolen

    “I mean, that star over there is blinking at me madly now, but for how long? An hour or two, or for the next million years? And how long will we sit here like this? Just another moment, or the rest of our lives? You know which one I'd prefer...”
    Lucy Christopher, Stolen

    “You told me once of t he plants that lie dormant through the
    drought; that wait, half dead, deep in the earth. The plants that
    wait for the rain. You said they'd wait for years, if they had to;
    that they'd almost kill themselves before they grew again. But
    as soon as those first drops of water fall, those plants begin to
    stretch and spread their roots. They travel up through the soil
    and sand to reach the surface. There's a chance for them again.
    One day they'll let you out of that dry, empty cell. You'll
    return to the Separates, without me, and you'll feel the ram
    once more. And you'll grow straight, this time, towards this
    sunlight. I know you will." - Gemma”
    Lucy Christopher, Stolen

    “She's not my type,' Carter says.
    'So what is your type?'
    'Tall, skinny, black hair, blue eyes, freckly nose. Blue tinsel wig and snowflakes optional.'
    'Skinny?' I squeal.
    'Definitely. Pretending to be shy, sensible and stand-offish when really you're mad about me.'
    'You sure about that?'
    'No, but I'm hoping.”
    Cathy Cassidy, Sundae Girl

    “Lets face it, you did steal me. But you saved my life too. And somewhere in the middle, you showed me a place so different and beautiful, I can never get it out of my mind. And I can't get you out of there either. You're stuck in my brain like my own blood vessels.”

    Becca Fitzpatrick
    “Patch was dressed in the usual: black shirt, black jeans and a thin silver necklace that flashed against his dark complexion. His sleeves were pushed up his forearms, and I could see his muscles working as he punched buttons. He was tall and lean and hard, and I wouldn't have been surprised if under his clothes he bore several scars, souvenirs from street fights and other reckless behavior.

    Not that I wanted a look under his clothes.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Hush, Hush

    “You possess other people's...bodies."

    Becca Fitzpatrick, Hush, Hush

    Becca Fitzpatrick
    “You're a guardian angel now." I was still too much in awe to wrap my mind around it, but at the same time I felt amazement, curiosity...happiness.

    "I'm your guardian angel," he said.

    "I get my very own guardian angel? What, exactly, is your job description?"

    "Guard your body." His smile tipped higher. "I take my job seriously, which means I'm going to need to get acquainted with the subject matter on a personal level.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Hush, Hush

    “I watched him pitch the ball at a table neatly lined with six bowling pins, my stomach giving a little flutter when his T-shirt crept up in the back, revealing a stripe of skin. I knew from experience that every inch of him was hard, defined muscle. His back was smooth and perfect too, the scars from when he’d fallen once again replaced with wings—wings I, and every other human, couldn’t see.

    “Five dollars says you can’t do it again,” I said, coming up behind him.

    Patch looked back and grinned. “I don’t want your money, Angel.”

    “Hey now, kids, let’s keep this discussion PG-rated,” Rixon said.

    “All three remaining pins,” I challenged Patch.

    “What kind of prize are we talking about?” he asked.

    “Bloody hell,” Rixon said. “Can’t this wait until you’re alone?”

    Patch gave me a secret smile, then shifted his weight back, cradling the ball into his chest. He dropped his right shoulder, brought his arm around, and sent the ball flying forward as hard as he could. There was a loud crack! and the remaining three pins scattered off the table.

    “Aye, now you’re in trouble, lass,” Rixon shouted at me over the commotion caused by a pocket of onlookers, who were clapping and whistling for Patch. Patch leaned back against the booth and arched his eyebrows at me. The gesture said it all: Pay up.

    “You got lucky,” I said.

    “I’m about to get lucky.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo

    “Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't.”
    A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

    John Green
    “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

    “What a slut time is. She screws everybody.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    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

    John Green
    “But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    Laurie Halse Anderson
    “Why? You want to know why?

    Step into a tanning booth and fry yourself for two or three days. After your skin bubbles and peels off, roll in coarse salt, then pull on long underwear woven from spun glass and razor wire. Over that goes your regular clothes, as long as they are tight.

    Smoke gunpowder and go to school to jump through hoops, sit up and beg, and roll over on command. Listen to the whispers that curl into your head at night, calling you ugly and fat and stupid and bitch and whore and worst of all, "a disappointment." Puke and starve and cut and drink because you don't want to feel any of this. Puke and starve and drink and cut because you need the anesthetic and it works. For a while. But then the anesthetic turns into poison and by then it's too late because you are mainlining it now, straight into your soul. It is rotting you and you can't stop.

    Look in a mirror and find a ghost. Hear every heartbeat scream that everysinglething is wrong with you.

    "Why?" is the wrong question.

    Ask "Why not?”
    Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls
