“It’s always hard to lose somebody. It leaves a hole in you heart that never grows back. ”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“Because some things are never meant to be anything more than a moment. And that was one of them.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“Getting over it doesn't mean forgetting it, it just means reducing the pain to a tolerable level, a level that doesn't destroy you. I know that right now the idea of getting over it is unimaginable. It's impossible, inconceivable, unthinkable. You don't want to get over it. Why should you? It's all you've got. You don't want kind words, you don't care what other people think or say, you don't want to know how they felt when they lost someone, They're no you, are there! They can't feel what you feel. The only thing you want is the things you can't have. It's gone. Never coming back. No one know how that feels. No one know what it's like to reach out and touch someone who isn't there and will never be there again. No one knows the unifiable emptiness. No one but you. You and me, love. We don't want anything. We want to die, but life won't let us. We're all it's got.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“That's what happens.
You just get on with it.

Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“It won't make you feel any better, he told me, it might even make things worse for a while. But you mustn't let the sadness die inside you. You have to give it some life.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“I was thinking about all these things and more, but I wasn't really thinking about them at all. They were just there, floating around in the back of my mind, thinking about themselves. What I was really thinking about, of course, was Lucas.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“We sat in silence for a while. I gazed through the window at the night sky, wondering idly at all that space, all that blackness, all that nothing, and as I sat there looking up at the emptiness I began thinking about the creek, the hills, the woods, the water... how everything goes around and around and never really changes. How life recycles everything it uses. How the end product of one process becomes the starting point of another, how each generation of living things depends on the chemicals released by the generations that have proceeded it... I don't know why I was thinking about it. It just seemed to occur to me.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“I first saw Lucas at the end of July last summer. Of course, I didn't know who he was then... in fact, come to think of it, I didn't even know what he was.
All I could see from the backseat of the car was a green-clad creature padding along the Stand in a shimmering haze of heat; a slight and ragged figure with a mop of straw-blond hair and a way of walking - I smile when I think of it - a way of walking that whispered secrets to the air.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“A veces es mejor confiar en tu imaginación. Los hechos te pueden decepcionar, pero tu mente, siempre te protegerá”

“I might have taken a little more time, I might have allowed myself a longer goodbye.. soaking up every little detail until the memory was firmly lodged in my mind forever. But that's not how it works is it? And maybe it's better that way. Because some things are never meant to be anything more than a moment. And that was one of them." -Cait”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas

“I looked her in the eye, trying to see beyond the pose, trying to imagine what she was like when she was alone... but I couldn't see it. That sort of girl is never alone, because without other people they have to be themselves, and they can't stand themselves.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
“Istnieje całe mnóstwo uczuć: miłość, nienawiść, podekscytowanie, zakłopotanie, strach, gniew, pożądanie, poczucie winy, wstyd, wyrzuty sumienia, żal...
I żadnego z nich nie potrafimy kontrolować.”
Kevin Brooks, Lucas
