The Island Quotes

“I sometimes think the only reason I was put on this earth is to love you.”
― Briar Prescott, The Island

“It doesn’t pass. It settles. In my bones. In my brain. In my soul. In every beat of my heart. It’s an undeniable truth. My heart is in his hands, and he’s squeezing it. And he doesn’t even know. Doesn’t even suspect.”
― Briar Prescott, The Island

“I have loved you from afar. Desperately. Quietly. I have craved and yearned and ached and wanted. For years. For the better part of my life.” My eyes are burning, and I want to squeeze them shut. I want to hide. I don’t. “For you us started on that island. For me we started long before that.” I dash the back of my hand over my eyes and take a big breath. “For me, it’s always been you. Just you. Always you.” I squeeze my hands into fists and my nails dig into my palms.”
