    Gillian Anderson
    “Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”

    Rick Riordan
    “[Hazel] hissed in frustration. 'I hate eidolons. I thought Piper made them promise to stay away.'
    'Oh...' Frank said, like he'd just had his own daily happy thought. 'Piper made them promise to stay off the ship and not possess any of us. But if they followed us, and used other bodies to attack us, then they're not technically breaking their vow...'
    'Great,' Leo muttered. 'Eidolons who are also lawyers. Now I really want to kill them.”

    “Being in love is a very strange thing. Your thoughts constantly drift towards this other person, no matter what you’re doing. You could be reaching for a glass in the cupboard or brushing your teeth or listening to someone tell a story, and your mind will just start drifting towards their face, their hair, the way they smell, wondering what they’ll wear, and what they’ll say the next time they see you. And on top of the constant dream state you’re in, your stomach feels like it’s connected to a bungee cord, and it bounces and bounces around for hours until it finally lodges itself next to your heart.”
    ― Pittacus Lore, The Power of Six

    “Whenever Percy stopped by to see [Annabeth], she was so lost in thought that the conversation went something like this:
    Percy: 'Hey, how's it going?'
    Annabeth: 'Uh, no thanks.'
    Percy: 'Okay...have you eaten anything today?'
    Annabeth: 'I think Leo is on duty. Ask him.'
    Percy: 'So, my hair is on fire.'
    Annabeth: 'Okay, in a while.”

    Rainbow Rowell
    “You look ridiculous,” Wren said.
    “What?”
    “That shirt.” It was a Hello Kitty shirt from eighth or ninth grade. Hello Kitty dressed as a superhero. It said SUPER CAT on the back, and Wren had added an H with fabric paint. The shirt was cropped too short to begin with, and it didn’t really fit anymore. Cath pulled it down self-consciously.
    “Cath!” her dad shouted from downstairs. “Phone.”
    Cath picked up her cell phone and looked at it
    “He must mean the house phone,” Wren said.
    “Who calls the house phone?”
    “Probably 2005. I think it wants its shirt back.”
    ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
