"Hey,you needed it!" He shrugged. "Wear it in good health. -- Lauren Kate

You know, Roland and I were just talking about how we don't have any pyromaniac friends. And everyone knows you need a good pyro to pull off any reform school prank worth the effort. -- Lauren Kate

I have to go," he said at last, getting to his feet. "I shouldn't even be here, but I cannot keep my self away from you. I worry about you in every waking moment. I love you, Luce. So much it hurts. -- Lauren Kate

Don't go, she whispered, her eyes closed. It was all happening too fast. She couldn't give Daniel up. Not yet. She didn't think she ever could. -- Lauren Kate

This was weird. The thing that could have driven two friends instantly apart was actually drawing them closer together. -- Lauren Kate

You can't love me without growing old," she finally said. "And I can't know that about you without wanting to cry. And my tears are the end of the world."

... in the sea of love, where everyone would love to drown. But now it's gone; they say it doesn't matter anymore. ... -- Lauren Kate

Where did they go?"
"Don't know." The prisoner cracked a smile too big for his thin face. "I don't think they did, either. You should have seen how long it took them to open an Announcer. Looked like couple of bumbling fools."
Daniel felt himself almost begin to laugh. -- Lauren Kate

Coach's sad smile suggested that after a suicide attempt, a girl's decisions weighed less, like bodies on the moon. -- Lauren Kate

finally returning home. -- Lauren Kate

Love is Fallen ... Like *FALLEN* ANGELS ... -- Lauren Kate

A fallen angel," Cam corrected her. "And I'm yours. -- Lauren Kate

So" he asked.
She was stunned and amazed-and happier than she'd ever been before. It couldn't possibly be real, she thought-unless she spoke the truth aloud, with Daniel and the rest of the fallen angels there to witness.
"I'm Lucinda," she said. "I'm your angel. -- Lauren Kate

if a fallen angel enters a sanctuary of God, the structure and all those inside it burst into flames. -- Lauren Kate

Lucinda's wings had been special. They
had been purely, stunningly white. Unspoiled.
Innocent of the choices the rest of
them had made. The only other fallen angel
who had preserved his white wings was
Daniel. -- Lauren Kate

Will you stay with me " she asked. Her voice was the thinnest whisper almost canceled out by a low groan of thunder ... Forever " he whispered back. The sweet sound of his voice filled her up. -- Lauren Kate

Are you okay?" Daniel whispered, his voice soft, his lips so close to hers.
"Yes." She could feel the beating of his wings. "You caught me."
"I will always catch you when you fall. -- Lauren Kate

I will alway catch you when you fall
Daniel Grigori.
Fallen -- Lauren Kate

I"ll always catch you when you fall." -Daniel ,, torment -- Lauren Kate

"Nothing will ever change that. No matter what you hear. No matter what happens. -- Lauren Kate

Beneath his exhaustion, he radiated a serenity that suggested nothing in this place could touch him. Maybe nothing in this world could touch him. It was one of the most beautiful things she'd ever seen. She wanted to be that way, too: at peace with herself, autonomous, free. -- Lauren Kate

Why Lilith?" Cam asked. "Do you craft
everyone's Hell this way?"
Lucifer smiled. "The dull ones make
their own dull hells, fire and brimstone and
all that crap. They need no help from me. But
Lilith - she's special. Not that I have to tell
you that. -- Lauren Kate

bed. She ached for that same sky, that rain, his mouth, his -- Lauren Kate

As far as possible, Arianne realized, each soul had to be content alone before plunging into love, because one never knew when the other would move out of that love. It was the greatest paradox: Souls need each other, but they also need to not need each other. -- Lauren Kate

In some ways, it's easier to be around you and the other angels than it is to be around my own parents and my own best friend."
Daniel thought for a moment. "I don't want that for you. It shouldn't have to be like that. All I ever wanted was to love you."
"Me too. That's all I want. -- Lauren Kate

Daniel stretched his arm around her and guided her head toward his shoulder. Little - known fact about angels: We make excellent pillows. -- Lauren Kate

Daniel murmured something like yes, he wouldn't miss it,but he was clearly distracted. He kept looking away from the woman. His eyes darted around the lawn, as if he sensed Luce behind the roses.
When his gaze swept over the bushes where she crouched,they flashed the most intense shade of violet. -- Lauren Kate

Some truce," Daniel said, "Eighteen days of others trying to kill her. -- Lauren Kate

I will wait for you as long as it takes. I will love you every moment across time. -- Lauren Kate

Sometimes love was not about winning, but about wise sacrifice and the realiability of friends like Arianne. Friendship, Roland realized, was its very own kind of love. -- Lauren Kate

They're just talking. They're flirting kind of like they're strangers, but at the same time they also seem to know each other really well. I don't get it."
"So they're taking it slow. What's wrong with that?" Bill asked. "Kids today, they just want things to go fast
boom boom BOOM. -- Lauren Kate

I thought love was supposed to make a person more alive," Eureka said. "Your love is ... like I used to be - suicidal. -- Lauren Kate

We're screwed," Arriane said, kicking a cloud in frustration. She glared at its wispy tendrils, which ambled eastward, unaffected. "That's never as satisfying as I think it's going to be. -- Lauren Kate

This wasn't strong-willed, fly-by-the-seat-of-her-miniskirt Kate that I'd befriended last year. You think you know a girl- and then she goes and loses her virginity at a Mardi Gras party and goes soft. -- Lauren Kate

Please don't worry. I will always come for you. I won't let you go until you understand that."
"Then I refuse to understand," she said. -- Lauren Kate

The wind wove the ribbon between Eureka's fingers and blew a sudden lightness into her chest.
She recognized the sensation distantly - it was an old friend, returned after a long prodigal journey: hope. -- Lauren Kate

The funeral was not a funeral. Her family called it a memorial service, because they hadn't found Diana's body yet, but everyone in New Iberia called the hour at St. Peter's a funeral, either out of respect or ignorance. The boundary was hazy. -- Lauren Kate

Love is the only thing worth fighting for. -- Lauren Kate

No, he hadn't just dragged her to California. He'd dragged her into a cursed eternity. A burden that
should have been his alone to bear. -- Lauren Kate

It's such a beautiful question, Luce. I adore you for asking it, and I wish I could explain it better. All I can tell you is this: The only way to survive eternity is to be able to appreciate each moment. -- Lauren Kate

Sometimes love needed a lift from its guardian angels, to get its feet off the ground. But once it made its first early beats toward flight, it had to be trusted to take wing on its own and soar past the highest conceivable heights, into the heavens-and beyond. -- Lauren Kate

We feel encouraged to go further with our instincts, not to change ourselves for love. If I were yours and you were mine, I would want you to be exactly as you are. I would never eclipse you with my desires. -- Lauren Kate

Everyone here felt like they were on the brink of something, when in fact they were only on the brink of the end. -- Lauren Kate

Those lips looked tasty, especially when they said things like ' i jumped up every time someone knocked, hoping it's be you -- Lauren Kate

You're telling me that Lilith Clout, the girl who set my hair on fire in ninth grade, could be literally a bitch from Hell? That all my voodoo toward her might have been justified? I guess so. Daniel shrugged. -- Lauren Kate

Cam stepped into the clearing. His eyes were rimmed with a thick, shimmering gold shadow, and it shone on his face in the moonlight, making him look like a wildcat. -- Lauren Kate

We all carry pieces of our journeys within us," Roland said. "We all learn from our mistakes. Who's to say we don't deserve happiness? -- Lauren Kate

Do you ever feel like 'nothing' has happened to you? Like you know you have a destiny, but all you've seen of life so far is unexceptional? I want my life to be different. I want to feel that it's begun. I'm waiting for 'that' kiss. -- Lauren Kate

She was luminous. Her red hair had been braided a dozen ways, all swirled together in a high shaggy twist. Her eyelids were shimmering green, her lips crimson and matte. She wore black vintage ankle-high motorcycle boots. She was lethal. -- Lauren Kate

I don't know how you can stand it. Over and over again, the same sadness - "
He lifted her up. "The same ecstasy - "
"The same fire that kills everything - "
"The same passion that ignites it all again. You don't know. You can't remember how wonderful - "
"I've seen it. I do know. -- Lauren Kate

Luce: But I thought you said I should stay away from the hard cases.
Arriane: Rule number two - don't listen to me! -- Lauren Kate

Lilith blinked, making out what looked like a dark cave at sunset, the sky fiery with streaks of red and orange. -- Lauren Kate

You caught me" Luce said.
"I'll always catch you when you fall" said Daniel -- Lauren Kate

Earn my respect. And I'll give it to you. -- Lauren Kate

Then the angels, the demon, and the Nephilim flew to distant corners of the sky, leaving a moment's brilliant flash of light behind them, as below, Luce and Daniel fell in love for the first-and the last- time -- Lauren Kate

Shelby scowled. Seriously? Would you want to be called a nephil? It sounds like a bag you carry your shame in. No, thanks. Nephilim it is, no matter how many of us you're talking about. -- Lauren Kate

I love you too much to say goodbye. -- Lauren Kate

Trial by fire.' Roland whistled, patting Luce on the back. 'Show no fear. -- Lauren Kate

Of all the pairs the Throne endorsed None rose to burn as bright As Lucifer, the Morning Star, And Lucinda, his Evening Light -- Lauren Kate

His popcorn exploded with truffle oil and shaved Parmesan, or chopped pretzels and chewy flecks of caramel. Today's batch smelled like curry and toasted almonds. -- Lauren Kate

There were no monsters, her parents assured her, but Luce's repeated insistence on the presence of something wobbly and dark had gotten her several appointments with the family eye doctor, and then glasses, and then appointments with the ear doctor after she made the mistake of describing -- Lauren Kate

You don't really know either of us," Cam said, standing and stepping away, "but you're prepared to choose right now, huh? -- Lauren Kate

I think your girlfriends getting Jealous," Luce said, gesturing at the pair.
"Which one?" He asked.
"I didn't realise they were both your girlfriends."
"Neither is my girlfriend. I meant, which one did you think was my girlfriend? -- Lauren Kate

Luce had to fight every urge in her body not to run into his arms. He was breathtaking: a knight in shining armor to outshine any fairy-tale knight. -- Lauren Kate

STANFORD LOCKWOOD
WORLD'S BEST FATHER -- Lauren Kate

No" Daniel cried " No, no, no"
Luce's heart ached as he tore at his hair, spun in circle and let his wings bloom out to their full size. -- Lauren Kate

You have to stop loving me. Because I stopped loving you. -- Lauren Kate

We often seek the companionship of others who display aspects we've repressed to the depths of our shadow. -- Lauren Kate

Eureka didn't voice her perverse enjoyment at dressing as an object with a second life when it was dead. -- Lauren Kate

Do I need to ease up on the psychedelics, or did LP just recall one of her past lives unprompted at the most crucial juncture ever? -- Lauren Kate

You know everyone loves to hate a happy pair of lovebirds. -- Lauren Kate

Rule number 2 - don't listen to me!" Arriane laughed, "I'm certifiably insane! -- Lauren Kate

Daniel Grigori!" Arriane hooted through her hands.
"No!" Daniel hooted back without missing a beat. -- Lauren Kate

If you two were going to be that obvious about it, why didn't you guys come down in your Team Daniel and Team Miles T-shirts?"
"We should order those," Shelby said.
"Mine's in the laundry," Arriane said. -- Lauren Kate

Well, as much as I love kicking asses and taking names, it's way past curfew for you three- Arriane -- Lauren Kate

Cam's wings were so bright they were almost blinding as they pulsed.
"Holy Hell," Callie whispered, blinking.
"More or less," Arriane said -- Lauren Kate

Arriane sized her up, tapping one finger against her lips. "Perfect," she said, stepping forward to loop her arm through Luce's. "I was just thinking I could really use a new slave. -- Lauren Kate

What about the university library?"
"Um, yeah," Annabelle said, "and we probably shouldn't show our faces there anytime soon. Arriane destroyed several very valuable parchment scrolls in their Special Collections-"
"Hey," Arriane snapped, indignant. "I glued them back together! -- Lauren Kate

You're an angel", Luce said, "I'm in love with an angel". -- Lauren Kate

As early as the angels' genesis, Lucinda's wings were bright reflective silver, the color of starlight. They had shone in their singular glory since the dawn of the dawn of time. -- Lauren Kate

I've met you many times Lucinda, and most of the time, you're a downright bore. -- Lauren Kate

What if you find your soul mate ... at the wrong time? -- Lauren Kate

And for what? Lucinda. And the choice the two of them had made long ago - and over and over again: to put their love above everything else. -- Lauren Kate

Fresh pain, exposing old pain -- Lauren Kate

Oooh!" Bill squealed. "Very rococo."
"So, I'm really doing this? I'm just going to go down there and pretend
" (Luce)
"No pretending." Bill shook his head. "Own it. Own that cleavage, girl, you know you want to. -- Lauren Kate

His hands grasped her waist and lifted her until she could have sworn that his feet had come off the ground, too; that they were floating up above the creek, above the trees, above the burning hillside, into the dense tangle of stars, about to kiss the moon. -- Lauren Kate

Oh yes, we're going to brawl, baby. Over you. Again. -- Lauren Kate

This is why angels choose sides, why people join teams. It costs too much not to; it weighs too heavily to soldier on alone. -- Lauren Kate

If you won't join them," Roland said to
Daniel, "why not join us? From what I can
tell, there is no worse Hell than what you put yourself through every time you lose her. -- Lauren Kate

Loneliness in a crowd of people was the worst kind of loneliness, but she couldn't help it. -- Lauren Kate

She spotted a lone dandelion,and it crossed her mind that a younger Luce would have pounced on it and then made a wish and blown. But this Luce's wishes felt too heavy for something so light. -- Lauren Kate

And that's when I realised that a mans' ego was like fruit; easily bruised ... -- Lauren Kate

It is not our job to be happy, to be in love. We exist to make happiness and love possible for others. -- Lauren Kate

What you think is advanced would embarrass any of the masters of the old. Their capabilities rastly surpassed ours. We are a thousand years behind what they achieved. -- Lauren Kate

Well, Luce, my dear, you may have gone to boarding school parties, but you've never seen a throw-down like reform school kids do it. -- Lauren Kate

You said a curse is only a curse if I allowed myself to me cursed by it. You said ... I had it in my power to free myself of any curse - that curses were preludes to blessings ... -- Lauren Kate

I just flew in from Heaven, and boy, are my arms tired. -- Lauren Kate

Trust is a good way to get oneself killed -- Lauren Kate

She didn't know that loss was alive in the world, a thief always about to slam you and steal everything you had. -- Lauren Kate

It made her want to stand up next to him and fight. Fight to stay alive long enough to live out her life next to him. Fight for the only thing she knew that was good enough, noble enough, powerful enough to be, worth risking everything.
Love. -- Lauren Kate

One day, our love will conquer this dark circle. That's worth everything to me -- Lauren Kate

He smirked. "You always were a sucker for acknowledgment. Baby, that's your Achiles' heel. -- Lauren Kate

You are the soul that fits into mine -- Lauren Kate

LUCE: You really beleive this? That someday I'll live through this?
DANIEL: With all my heart and soul, I will wait for you as long as it takes. I will love you every moment across time.
-Daniel & Luce, PASSION -- Lauren Kate

I cannot love a soul so dark it eats up others' light -- Lauren Kate

Love makes people the best versions of themselves. -- Lauren Kate

Things are precious when they're hard to come by. -- Lauren Kate

Existence is never so miserable as when you have a taste of something beautiful," Lucifer said. "It serves to remind you of everything you can never have. -- Lauren Kate

We'd grown up in a three-year long embrace, and as careful as I'd been about documenting it, I guess I'd never really taken the time to look through the album after I had put it together. -- Lauren Kate

What's wrong? Cam asked. Everything, she wanted to say. The only thing Lilith had ever known was disappointment. Nothing in her life ever worked out. Which, for the most part, was okay, because she never let herself expect anything, so she never really cared. -- Lauren Kate

Just getting to first base seems to be a problem for you two, Cam couldn't resist saying. -- Lauren Kate

Knowledge is power; power corrupts. Corruption brings shame and ruin. Ignorance may not be bliss, but it is perhaps preferable to a life lived in shame. -- Lauren Kate

Hey,it was a valiant effort.You really got out there in the trenches this time. -- Lauren Kate

He dipped her low and kissed her fiercely, as if he were angry, and each time his lips left hers, even just for half a second, the most parching thirst ran through her, making her cry out. -- Lauren Kate

I can resist you or flee from you or try my hardest not to respond to you, but it makes no difference. You fall in love with me, and I with you. Daniel to Luce Page 352 -- Lauren Kate

What they had right now was not what she wanted. And if the rules of the game were always going to stay this way, she just didn't know if she even wanted to play. -- Lauren Kate

If the hero does not match the story, it is the hero, not the story, who must be rewritten. -- Lauren Kate

When one lover suffered from a broken heart, no matter how badly the other wanted to help, she couldn't be the one to heal it. -- Lauren Kate

Now lemme get this straight," she said in a throaty, nasal voice. "You put the lime in the cocanut and drink 'em both up
whoa, long faces. What am I interrupting? -- Lauren Kate

Suffering is wisdom's school teacher. -- Lauren Kate

I wouldn't know what to do if I weren't next to you. That's who I am."
"You can't rely on someone else to define you. Especially not me. -- Lauren Kate

Now aren't you glad I made you take a bath?" Bill asked. "One less bottle of eau de reekette punching holes in l'ozone. -- Lauren Kate

There's no way out of this cycle, Daniel," Cam went on.
"She can't break it, and neither can you. Pick Heaven, pick Hell, I don't really care and you don't, either. It won't make any difference - -- Lauren Kate

I can hardly remember my bleak life before you. -- Lauren Kate

You see, this is the problem with conversation," Solon said with a sigh, and looked at Ander. "All we ever do is talk about ourselves. Let us stop before we bore each other, well, to tears. -- Lauren Kate

some angels are destined to fall -- Lauren Kate

Exhilaratingly new and unmistakably familiar, like a childhood memory that felt dreamlike until photographic evidence was found in an old box in the attic. -- Lauren Kate

She could argue with the wall in China and win. -- Lauren Kate

I know that whenever I feel my world turning
upside down, nothing grounds me like a manicure. -- Lauren Kate

There is no darkness as dark as a great light corrupted. -- Lauren Kate

Daniel had ruined that couple's life. Killed their daughter.
All because he'd been some hotshot angel who saw something he wanted and went after it. -- Lauren Kate

Their only communication so far had included one middle finger and a couple of dirty looks. -- Lauren Kate

Good. Evil. They're just words. -- Lauren Kate

Cam pitied them. They had no idea of the particular joy of a Friday afternoon at four o'clock, or the hedonistic thrill of a Saturday-midnight joyride that took all of Sunday to recover from -- Lauren Kate

Languages have complicated family trees, you know - mixed marriages, stepchildren, even bastards. There are countless scandals in the history of languages, many murders, much incest. -- Lauren Kate

The sight of his face made her want to run away and straight to him, to see how intense those blue eyes could get. -- Lauren Kate

Molly slapped the lid back down then pushed past Luce into the foyer stumbling over Shelby in her path.
"Excuse you " they said gruffly at the same time eyeing each other suspiciously.

I know he would die if you died, Luce -- Lauren Kate

Well, now that we've knocked over one another's books, isn't the next step for our hands to accidentally touch while we're picking them up? -- Lauren Kate

Don't cry. Carry what you love about me with you; leave the pain behind. -- Lauren Kate

The past is important for all the information and wisdom it holds. But you can get lost in it. You've got to learn to keep the knowledge of the past with you as you pursue the present. -- Lauren Kate

When he pressed his lips to hers, she was not surprised. It happened the way the sun rose, the way a flower blossomed, the way fain fell from the sky, the way the dead stopped breathing. Naturally. Inevitably. -- Lauren Kate

I do all of these things," Daniel said, leaning into her so that their foreheads touched, "because you're my love, Lucinda. For me, you're all there is. -- Lauren Kate

And while Luce dreamed below of the most glorious wings unfurling-the likes of which she'd never seen before-two angels in the rafters shook hands. -- Lauren Kate

History can be rewritten, but at what cost? -- Lauren Kate

I needed you to see me, finally. Every moment of your life, I have fallen more deeply in love with you. -- Lauren Kate

You're still here," he whispered. "They couldn't drag me away. -- Lauren Kate

This lifeless paper, cruel imposter, was the only to take her with him -- Lauren Kate

you. -- Lauren Kate

We need to fly. -- Lauren Kate

Luce blushed. "Then what kind of angel are you?"
"I'm sort of in between gigs right now," Daniel said. -- Lauren Kate

I'd like to say I'm on a natural high," Cam said.
"This hike would have ruined John Denver," Roland agreed. -- Lauren Kate

Cam was so much clearer, easier to figure out. Like he was algebra and Daniel was calculus. -- Lauren Kate

"
Bill: "Before you even have a chance to see how toxic your relationship might become? -- Lauren Kate

The stars are on your face tonight
There is no outer space tonight -- Lauren Kate

In this lifetime you're nothing more than you appear to be: a stupid, selfish, ignorant, spoiled little girl who thinks the world lives or dies on whether she gets to go out with some good-looking boy at school ... I'd still relish this moment ... killing you. -- Lauren Kate

You're an angel."
He opened his violet eyes.
"Tell me more."
"You're Daniel Grigori,"Lucy continued. "You're the angel who has loved me for thousands of years ... -- Lauren Kate

Jealous?' Luce asked. They were alone now. She threw her arms around his broad shoulders and looked deep into his violet eyes. 'Why would you be jealous?'
'Because,' he said, rubbing his hands across her back. 'Your dance card is full. For all eternity. -- Lauren Kate

The tender pressure of his lips soothed her, like a warm drink in the dead of the winter, when every part of her felt so cold. -- Lauren Kate

Don't turn your back on what you love because you're scared -- Lauren Kate

Sometimes when you try not to repeat your mistakes, you forget that the original mistakes are still unfolding -- Lauren Kate

Stars grounded her. Their distance offered perspective when she couldn't see beyond her own pain -- Lauren Kate

Wisdom holds a candle to experience, but you've got to take the candle and walk alone. -- Lauren Kate

The last thing we expect others to do, its the last thing they do before we learn we cannot trust them. -- Lauren Kate

Silence is what causes most of humanity's problems -- Lauren Kate

Fear is the only way to greet the devil. -- Lauren Kate

Luce didn't know how to pull away from Cam. -- Lauren Kate

The voice sank through luce's skin and straight into her heart. Daniel's voice. He was calling to her. He wanted her. Needed her. Luce moved towards the sound -- Lauren Kate

He shone so bright, the sun could have borrowed light from him. -- Lauren Kate

There is no dark, darker than the distorted great light. -- Lauren Kate

People are here because they've got baggage. I'm talking curbside-check-in, pay-the-fine-'cause-it's-over-fifty-pounds kind of baggage. Get it? -- Lauren Kate

How easy it was to fall in love with every moment of her existence! -- Lauren Kate

Lys," he whispered. "Do you know what's coming?"
"Yes," she whispered.
"And you know that I'll be with you until the end? -- Lauren Kate

Cam: She is so lovely when she sleeps.
Daniel: Is that why you wanted her to sleep for all eternity? -- Lauren Kate

Each of us has magic within us. We take our quirks from the universal store -- Lauren Kate

Daniel didn't have to shoulder his punishment alone anymore. It was something they could do together. -- Lauren Kate

Her faith in you survives her, -- Lauren Kate

Who can know the ending until the last word has been written? Everything might change with the last word. -- Lauren Kate

Love was a dance floor where everyone you loved left a mark behind. -- Lauren Kate

At last." He breathed into her, finding her lips.
"You found me," she whispered.
"Always. -- Lauren Kate

Luce recognized her from European history class. Amy Something. -- Lauren Kate

End times aren't supposed to be very pretty. -- Lauren Kate

Do you want to sit down?" she asked Olianna, who lurked directly behind Luce with her arrow at the ready.
"I prefer to stand guard-"
"Yeah, I don't guess you can really sit guard," Luce mumbled. "Ha-ha. -- Lauren Kate

Because love and hate were supposed to stand cleanly on opposite sides of the spectrum. The division seemed as clear as ... well, angels and demons would once have seemed to her. Not anymore. -- Lauren Kate

How hard you worked for what you wanted. how cruelly fate betrayed you in the end. -- Lauren Kate

She knew what was coming next. The most beautiful sound there was - that elegant whoosh of the love of her life -- Lauren Kate

You must remember how to dream what you already know. -- Lauren Kate

I'll always choose you." Yes that was the word. "Every single lifetime, I'll choose you. Just as you have always chosen me. Forever. -- Lauren Kate

Luce: You could have kept your promises.
Daniel: I promised I'd stay. -- Lauren Kate

I think about her and only her. I count the seconds until she'll be with me
again. I choose her, as she chooses me. -- Lauren Kate

Do we get only one?" William asked.
"Ambitious lad," Solon said. "Well, why should there be a limit? One quirk is a miracle, but don't let me stand in your way. Quirk out as much as you like. -- Lauren Kate

Could change the past and ... cease to exist." "But that's the nature of risk, isn't it? You gamble everything on the slenderest of hopes. -- Lauren Kate

She knew she shouldn't want him with every fiber of her being, but she couldn't help herself. Gazing at him feeling his touch - the rest of the world faded into the background -- Lauren Kate

No more dying?"
"Not unless you jump off a building or get into a car with a murderer or take a whole lot of Unisom or-"
"I get it," she cut him off. -- Lauren Kate

But you were only sixteen and not far off from the truth, as only sixteen-year-olds can be. -- Lauren Kate

When he turned to face her, the drawn look on his face was one of absolute agony as if Luce had just ripped his heart out -- Lauren Kate

I've already had to wait so long."
"How long?" Luce asked.
"Not so long that I've forgotten that you're worth everything. Every sacrifice. Every pain. -- Lauren Kate

Oh, jeez, please kill that metaphor, ... Or kill me. One or the other. -- Lauren Kate

A reluctant smile found her face. Well, we've already established that you can breathe for me. -- Lauren Kate

Nothing is real. There is only what we believe in and what we reject. -- Lauren Kate

And Daniel?" She asked.
"Daniel was a player-"
"Hey!"
"That's what they called the actors." Bill rolled his eyes. -- Lauren Kate

Do I love him? Yes. But when the final battle comes, I'll have to kill him. That's just our reality. We both know exactly where we stand.- Francesca -- Lauren Kate

Heartbreak is its own form of amnesia. -- Lauren Kate

Maybe that's what magic was - looking into darkness and seeing a light most people missed. -- Lauren Kate

Free will." Cam shrugged. "It's all the rage these days. -- Lauren Kate

First kisses were about discovery, transformation, wonder. -- Lauren Kate

Ms. Sophia was evil bananas. -- Lauren Kate

Yeah she celebrated Christmas, she'd been to church a handful of times, and even when her life made her and everyone around her miserable, she still had faith that there was someone or something up their worth believing in. That had always been enough for her. -- Lauren Kate

She liked the way he smelled - kind of free and open, like driving with the windows down at night. -- Lauren Kate

She just wished loving him didn't always have to be so hard. -- Lauren Kate

It felt so good just to be held -- Lauren Kate

Oh. My. God. They were fighting. In the library. Over her. -- Lauren Kate

Cooking is the best way to unwind at the end of a long writing day. There's something mindless and hands-on about cooking, which makes it feel like the very opposite of writing, which is heady but inactive. -- Lauren Kate

Suicide was a mortal luxury not afforded to angels. -- Lauren Kate

She liked to think that someday, if she she graduated, she'd escape to a better place. -- Lauren Kate

Now if they could just not get lost in these woods on their way back to their dorm. Shelby looked toward what she hoped was west and -- Lauren Kate

She would not stop until she beat the devil. -- Lauren Kate

There's more to life than teenage passion. -- Lauren Kate

I cannot be other than what I am, and I am the choices of all my days. -- Lauren Kate

You could fill a book with all the things you don't know,girl. In fact-I think someone may have already written it.But that's neither here nor there. -- Lauren Kate

You have to survive because I won't live in a world without you. -- Lauren Kate

Mortals could rarely recognize their true feelings before those true feelings hit them in the face -- Lauren Kate

I'll love you with all my heart, in every life, through every death. I
will not be bound by anything but my love for you. -- Lauren Kate

Free will...it's all the rage these days -- Lauren Kate

She'd always loved the faintly sweet musty way that only a roomful of books smelled. She took confirt in the soft occasional sound of turning pages. -- Lauren Kate

Will i find her .Without question. Will I save her. Always . -- Lauren Kate

Not belonging is the greatest gift. Always remember that. -- Lauren Kate

There was nothing mean about his voice. In fact it was almost too nice. Like she was too dim to grasp whatever was so obvious to him. Which made her absolutely furious. -- Lauren Kate

For every time Luce met Daniel - and she always met Daniel - nothing mattered as much as their love. -- Lauren Kate

What if it was enough to just stand here in the arms of someone who ared about her, to let his simple affection steady her for a little while? it felt so good just to be held. -- Lauren Kate

I study these things.I'm an academic.I don't get tangled up in trivial matters of the heart. -- Lauren Kate

Tossed By Waves,
She Does Not Sink. -- Lauren Kate

I can't wait to make you the love of my mortal life. -- Lauren Kate

Maybe love was lying to yourself. -- Lauren Kate

How many lives do you need to live before you fine someone worth dying for? -- Lauren Kate

People who are chronically tardy never understand the many ways in which they screw up the schedules of people who are punctual and 'normal' ... -- Lauren Kate

There is always some regret when we accept that love has moved away from us -- Lauren Kate

Together, forever, whatever the weather -- Lauren Kate

Mortality is the most romantic story ever told. Just one chance to do everything you should. Then, magically, you move on. -- Lauren Kate

-This is a disaster- she said. -Most great things start out that way- he said. -- Lauren Kate

Would love be so different with someone else? Was love even possible with someone else? Love was supposed to be easy, wasn't it? Then why did she feel so tormented? -- Lauren Kate

I've never asked for a happy ending -- Lauren Kate

How could it be? For weeks he'd run himself ragged, his only goal to keep her safe until the moment when he could no longer offer her protection. Now that moment had come and gone- and so did Luce -- Lauren Kate

Trust is a careless pursuit. -- Lauren Kate

What does my soul look like to you?' 'I couldn't reduce it to words if I tried, but its beauty is unsurpassed. -- Lauren Kate

You will wake up at forty with no husband, no children, and no career if you don't learn to engage with the world. -- Lauren Kate

And she knew without opening her eyes that it was Daniel. No other body in the universe fit hers so well. -- Lauren Kate

Was their love worth the erasure of the world and all its stories? -- Lauren Kate

He was filled with an urge to find something
... someone.
An urge to feel whole again ... -- Lauren Kate

Grief can choke you. It's dangerous, something else you have to beat. -- Lauren Kate

Callie always said Luce was incapable of brutal honesty and that was why she got herself stuck in so many crappy situations with guys whom she should have just told no. -- Lauren Kate

Strangling is the most intimate way to kill someone, -- Lauren Kate

Mortals can face many things, but they cannot face their true identity. -- Lauren Kate

I know nothing. I know no one. I'm lonely. Every time I see you, you've put up some new wall, and you never let me in. -- Lauren Kate

Then I'll cleave to my old self and spirit the full host of angels into the present with me.Even the ugly ones. -- Lauren Kate

Would he find her?
Without question.
Would he save her?
Always. -- Lauren Kate

And all because a boy loved a girl, she said at last. -- Lauren Kate

Had God created Love to make pain feel even worse? -- Lauren Kate

Even Lucifer looked impressed. He muttered, Only Lucinda could pull that off. -- Lauren Kate

And she never wanted to be around Cam. In her own lifetime or any other one. -- Lauren Kate

We put our faith in love. -- Lauren Kate
