I don't think you understand," he said. "I'm going to have you, at any cost. Any cost, Jenny, even if you have to suffer on the way. If I can't force you, I'll persuade you - and I can be very persuasive. -- L.j.smith

Damon, leather and silk and fine chiseled features. Mercurial and devastating. -- L.j.smith

He was still lying where he had fallen. The ghosts had passed over him, taking no notice of him. Elena's brightness hovered over him, one shining hand reaching to touch his hair. Then she bent and kissed the dark head on the ground. -- L.j.smith

It cast an unholy glow all around him - which was entirely appropriate, because Julian was as seductive as mortal sin and as haughty as the devil. -- L.j.smith

She had never been so close to anybody. It was as if they were one being, together, not predator and prey, but partners in a dance. Poppy-and-James. -- L.j.smith

Elena smiled and he had to smile back, at first just a quirk of the lip, and then a full smile. She was ... Damn it, she was everything. Witty, enchanting, brave, smart ... and beautiful. And he knew that his eyes were saying all that and that she wasn't turning away. -- L.j.smith

Okay, so she is crazy. I don't care. I think I love her. -- L.j.smith

I'm playing with fire, with something I don't understand. -- L.j.smith

Amazing how he could make her feel. Safe in a vacant lot, warm in the middle of the night. Just being this close to him, being able to touch his thoughts and feel his presence, was comforting-and dizzying. -- L.j.smith

If, someday, Julian should be reborn, she wished him well. -- L.j.smith

I'd rather cut my throat, she said.
An intriguing thought. But I can do it so much more enjoyably. -- L.j.smith

It might be better if we didn't see each other for a while. If -- L.j.smith

Cliff said "damn" for me (I'm going to die). I didn't know he liked me enough to swear. -- L.j.smith

If somebody had said last week that I'd be in ... involved ... with a human, I'd have knocked his head off. I mean, after howls of derisive laughter. But. -- L.j.smith

I'm in love with you. I think everything you do is marvelous. -- L.j.smith

Ash held one finger up. "OK. Now listen-"
Mary-Lynnette kicked him in the shins. She knew it was inapporopriate, she knew it was uncalled-for, but she couldn't stop herself. She just had to.
"Oh, for God's sake," Ash said, hopping backward. "Are you crazy? -- L.j.smith

Elena startled both of them by flying up so quickly that Stefan had to grab her by the waist to keep her from shooting toward the ceiling.
I thought you had gravity!"
So did I! What do I do?"
Think heavy thoughts!"
What if it doesn't work?"
We'll buy you an anchor! -- L.j.smith

It means she chose light over darkness. I want people to know that so they'll always remember.
I always will.

He was the smell of winter rain and the sound of his predator's heartbeat -- L.j.smith

The Night World isn't a place. It's all around us. The creatures of Night World are beautiful and deadly and irresitable to humans. Your best friend could be one-so could your crush. -- L.j.smith

I love you.
I'll love you forever.
But I have to do this. -- L.j.smith

I'm sorry Elena. I know that you want to help, but put yourself in her shoes, everything that happened tonight was to save you and that's OK because she loves you so much. But somehow she's always the one who gets hurt. -- L.j.smith

Awakening will be sudden and shocking. You and I must be there for her awakening. We won't be there for (her?) later on. That's for other hands to do. -- L.j.smith

Soulmates. That was the word. Maggie could sense what it meant. Two people connected, bound to each other forever, soul to soul, in a way that even death couldn't break. Two souls that were destined for each other. -- L.j.smith

In the Night World there's this idea called the soulmate principle. It says that every person has one soulmate out there, just one. And that person is perfect for you and is your destiny. -- L.j.smith

Listen to me," he said, and to her dismay he stepped closer. "When I first met you," he said, "I had no idea you were one of us. How could I? But I knew that you were different than that phony friend of yours. Not just another pretty girl, but somebody special. -- L.j.smith

QUINN; You always look after Number One, don't you?
ASH; Doesn't everybody?
-- L.j.smith

But Thierry was shaking his head. "It doesn't matter." His voice was still quiet, but it was filled with the authority of absolute conviction, a kind of bedrock certainty that held even Hannah mesmerized. -- L.j.smith

I've thought that 'Soulmate' in the 'Night World' series would make a really nice TV-movie or just a movie. -- L.j.smith

When you lose someone, it stays with you. Always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt. -- L.j.smith

I am what I want to be," he said. "You forgot that - and that was your mistake. -- L.j.smith

Mary-Lynnette had an inexplicable impulse to knock Ash flat and fall down on top of him. She'd never felt that for any boy before. -- L.j.smith

But Mary-Lynnette was thinking. Of course she'd like to find somebody who would accept her completely, who would share everything with her. -- L.j.smith

Yes she met with a slight accident involving a stake." Ash said "funny how that happens sometimes ... -- L.j.smith

She knew, then, that it had not been hatred that had made him avoid her for so long. No, it had not been hatred at all. -- L.j.smith

I am the only one who can decide what will happen to me," Kaitlyn went on very quietly. "No one else. Me. And I've already made my decision. I'm going back to that place and I'm going to try to stop them any way I can. Whether you give me the shard or not is your decision, but I'm going back anyway. -- L.j.smith

I would have understood if they had killed him. -- L.j.smith

Even if we're not together, we'll never really be apart. -- L.j.smith

Very touching. Do you want me to imitate a violin? -- L.j.smith

You," Damon said somewhat indistinctly through the blood in his mouth, "have been a naughty boy, boy. -- L.j.smith

Dear Diary,
Oh, it's all too much to explain and you wouldn't believe it anyway. I'm going to bed.
Bonnie -- L.j.smith

If I don't want to be seen, you don't see me. -- L.j.smith

But we did it," said Alys. "We found Morgana and we helped her. How can you worry about detentions when life as we know it has just been saved? -- L.j.smith

I am as strong as I need to be. I am my only master. -- L.j.smith

We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are. -- L.j.smith

You showed me what it was like to love. What the world could be like, if -- L.j.smith

I don't trust easily, so when I tell you I trust you, don't make me regret it. -- L.j.smith

When you're soulmates, it hits you like lightning, and you know that's the one person in the world you were meant to be with. You don't think you're soulmates; you just know it's your destiny whether you like it or not. -- L.j.smith

Kaitlyn:I though- that you might need something.
Gabe:I don't need anything from anyone!
Kaitlyn: I think you're lying -- L.j.smith

What kind of world is it that lets a thing like that happen? That lets a girl like Sue get murdered for kicks, or kids in Afghanistan starve, or baby seals get skinned alive?
-Matt Honeycutt -- L.j.smith

Evil will never find peace. It may triumph, but it will never find peace. -- L.j.smith

You're talking!"
"I know I am."
"And making sense!"
"Thank you kindly."
"And in sentences!"
"I've noticed." - Stefan and Elena -- L.j.smith

Ghouls weren't smart, but like the Energizer Bunny they kept going and going. -- L.j.smith

Tell Hugh, she whispered.
Tell Hugh your freaking self! He's right here! And you're not going anywhere. -- L.j.smith

Listen to me, Jez. There's no reason for you to die-"
Wood ... poison."
No it isn't! Not to humans. And you're half human. You're vampire enough to survie something that would kill a human, but you're human enough not to be poisoned by wood. -- L.j.smith

Just the sight of him brought back everything that was good and homelike to her mind. It was like coming back to her own room after being away a long time with strangers.
It was where she belonged. -- L.j.smith

More than anything." Rob persisted. "You'd crawl on your belly over broken glass for her. Easy. -- L.j.smith

She feels lonely all the time, she wants to be accepted, by anyone, on any terms, but she feels apart. As if nobody who really got to know her would trust her. -- L.j.smith

Damon: Is it working? Being in her world? Does it make you feel alive? -- L.j.smith

He let her get almost all the way there, just staring, before he stumbled towards her. They ended in a rush and then fell to the ground together,arms locked around each other, each holding on as tightly as possible. Niether of them said a word. -- L.j.smith

He put an arm around his brother to help him up. And then, for a moment, he just held on. -- L.j.smith

Okay. I'll help you fight. What do you think we're up against? Bears, Coyotes ... "
"My Brother. -- L.j.smith

I want him to love me as much as I love him. -- L.j.smith

All I know is that right now I wanna rip your clothes off right here in the middle of this hall and throw you in one of these classrooms and kiss every square inch of your body, while a bunch of people who drive minivans listen wishing they were us. -- L.j.smith

To touch him in ways he'd never been touched before, this person who, beyond all logic, was the other half of her. Who belonged to her. Who was her soulmate. -- L.j.smith

If I let myself care, all I'll feel is pain. -- L.j.smith

Elena gasped back, "I can touch the ground!"
"I can see you touching it!", Bonnie exclaimed with tears of joy. -- L.j.smith

There's nothing to read into. I'm just here to collect my beloved Damon and Stefan is just helping me. -- L.j.smith

en garde, Julian. It's not over till it's over. -- L.j.smith

Perhaps she'll find that real darkness is more to her taste than feeble twilight. -- L.j.smith

Let bygones be bygones -- L.j.smith

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn about anyone else -- L.j.smith

Jeremy: "Who did it? Wait-you think I did. Don't you?"
Ash: "It did cross our minds at one point. Actually, it seemed to keep crossing them. Back and forth. Maybe we should put in a crosswalk. -- L.j.smith

And you know," Jeanne said, looking down at Sylvia with her hands on her hips, "that's how I want to go. Taking my own way out ... and totally pissing everybody off at the end. -- L.j.smith

I'm with you, my angel. -- L.j.smith

She wanted to follow. Nothing was real. Didn't he understand? She could not imagine a universe, no matter how many dimensions there were, without a Damon in it. There was no world for her, if there was no Damon. -- L.j.smith

Smiling doesn't always mean you're happy. Sometimes it simple means that you're a strong person. -- L.j.smith

Some instinct older than civilization was telling her to run, to flee.
She didn't move. -- L.j.smith

You know, you've never really cared about anyone," he said. "But someday you will, and it's going to hurt. It's going to hurt a lot. -- L.j.smith

He looked at her then, and she could see he wasn't afraid.
"Nothing really dies as long as it's not forgotten," he said. -- L.j.smith

You wanted us all back together again! Bonnie shouted at Caroline, and pulled the scandalized girl into the dance. Meredith, her dignity forgotten, joined them too.
And for a long time in the clearing there was only rejoicing. -- L.j.smith

I'll go sleep on the couch," James said. "No, you won't," Poppy said firmly. She flopped on the bed beside him. "You're dead tired. And I know I'm safe with you." James grinned without moving his arm. "Because I'm dead tired? -- L.j.smith

I would have thought even you could understand such a simple sentence, Father. Shall I repeat it in Latin for you? -- L.j.smith

Oh hell. They've got Mrs B in a bag! -- L.j.smith

The worst day of loving someone is the day that you lose them. -- L.j.smith

Well then," Faye said. "Now that you've heard our story, we have just one question to ask you." She fixed Cassie with an odd half smile and said in a sweet, false voice, "Are you planning to be a good witch or a bad witch? -- L.j.smith

Katherine," he said. He was still smiling.
"Yes." She leaned closer.
"Katherine ... "
"Yes, Damon?"
"Go to hell. -- L.j.smith

Our minds work alike, she thought. She had found her partner, her equal, the one to work and live and love with her. Her soulmate. -- L.j.smith

Just admit it, Elena. You're attracted to Damon and all his bad boy glory- Caroline Forbes -- L.j.smith

If you can find one good thing to say about her I'll turn vegetarian! -- L.j.smith

You've changed me, she thought. Not just showing me that boys aren't all pond scum. You've made me different, made me look at the broader picture. Given me vision. -- L.j.smith

Klaus can't come between us anymore.-Tyler (before they start kissing and he accidentally bites Caroline) -- L.j.smith

Mind if I have a bite? -- L.j.smith

Ash? Get bent and die. -- L.j.smith

The image isn't reality. Even though we're used to thinking that way alot of the time. We show a kid a picture of a dog and say 'This is a doggie' - but it's not. It's just an image. -- L.j.smith

Julian: She's very strong, you know. Much too good for you.
Tom: I know. But she's a thousand times too good for you. -- L.j.smith

You were right," he said faintly. "Change is good-or at least necessary. Take the shard. -- L.j.smith

This was the problem with having walls so hard and high and unscalable, she supposed. When they came down, they crumbled completely, shattering into nothingness. She felt utterly defenseless right now. -- L.j.smith

I have never been in love before," Julian said. "You're my first-and you'll be my only. -- L.j.smith

Not bad. Have you been eating bunnies? -- L.j.smith

I agree, and when the time is right, we'll be delighted to meet with him, Damon said. -- L.j.smith

Maybe there was a magic stronger than spells. Maybe the soulmate principle was responsible, and if two people were meant to be together, nothing could keep them apart. -- L.j.smith

Oh, all right, you big baby," she said. "If you really want it. I should have gotten you a rattle and a pacifier, too. -- L.j.smith

Why do people always assume that volume will succeed when logic won't? - Damon -- L.j.smith

what if you had to chouse one an not the other? -- L.j.smith

Each night I lie and dream about the one
Who kissed me and awakened my desire
I spent a single hour with him alone
And since that hour, my days are layed with fire. -- L.j.smith

It's all right," Jeanne was yelling. "Yeah, you heard me, it's all right! Delos isn't dangerous. Not to us, anyway. Come on, you, get out of there! What are you doing hiding behind that pig? -- L.j.smith

She let herself fall backwards into the music, and it was like falling in a dream, without fear.
It was like being a raindrop falling into the ocean that had started you. -- L.j.smith

She started walking again. "Are you saying you didn't even want to be with her? Not even just a little?"
He stopped. "How could I want to be with her when I want to be with you? I told you that before this whole thing started. -- L.j.smith

In grace and beauty and sheer fascination, they were alike. But where Katherine had been a white kitten, Elena was a snow-white tigress. -- L.j.smith

I've had many companions, girls as young as you and women who were the beauties of Europe. But you're the one I want at my side. Ruling, taking what we want when we want it. Feared and worshipped by all the weaker souls. Would that be so bad? -- L.j.smith

I am just two and two. I am hot. I am cold. I'm the parent of numbers that cannot be told. I'm a gift beyond measure, a matter of course, and I'm yielded with pleasure- when taken by force. -- L.j.smith

She had seen those eyes dark with brooding anger and cold as ice, she'd seen his gaze veiled like a spiderweb and shattering like a gate under pressure. But she'd never seen them as they were now. Full of wondering joy and disbelief, and an almost frightened awe. -- L.j.smith

Even if you kill her, she'll still be alive-here." He tapped his chest. "In me. I keep her here. She's part of me. So until you kill me, you can't really kill her. And you can't win. It's that simple. -- L.j.smith

Damon: Come back as a vampire and I will stake you myself cause I can't stand the idea of you hating me forever.
Elena: Witches are supposed to maintain the balance of nature. It's your duty to them. To keep this curse sealed. -- L.j.smith

Where does the flame of a candle go after is faded? -- L.j.smith

They weren't a centuries old hunter and a seventeen year old girl, sitting here at the edge of the world. They were just two people, Bonnie and Damon. -- L.j.smith

And her slender white neck was bowed over her book, the fair hair falling on either side of it -- L.j.smith

For a moment, without thinking of anything else, Jenny was simply proud of him. Fiercely, passionately proud that a human, a seventeen-year-old who hadn't even heard of the Shadow Men until a month ago, could stand up to them like this. Could conceal his terror and smile that way and offer to die. -- L.j.smith

With that, Kaitlyn realized that he'd seen as deeply into her mind as she'd seen into his. She had thought he was the one giving, while she had only received ... but of course, he'd had to join with her completely in order to share his life with her. -- L.j.smith

Julian said the world was evil and horrible - remember? But then he proved himself that it wasn't -- L.j.smith

And then the swelling thing burst.
There was, to Damon, a palpable if not audible crack as the stone encasing his soul burst open and a great piece fell away. -- L.j.smith

I'll fight dragons, just like any knight for his lady. I'll prove myself. You'll be proud of me. -- L.j.smith

can never have what you really want -- L.j.smith

But where Katherine was a white kitten, Elena was a white tigress. -- L.j.smith

Well, now, look at you, is that a halo? Did you get canonized while I wasn't looking? Am I addressing St. Stefan now? -- L.j.smith

Wherever her feet pass, white flowers part the grass. -- L.j.smith

You won't find Earth people, quite the easy mark you imagine -- L.j.smith

Things that really, really hurt are the right things to do. -- L.j.smith

Sleeping in the back of the van was cramped and a little stuffy-like sleeping in a compartment on a train, Kaitlyn guessed. But she didn't really mind being crowded in with Rob. He was warm and nice to hang on to. Comfortingly solid. -- L.j.smith

Very touching," said a voice from the stairway. "Do you want me to imitate a violin?" - Damon -- L.j.smith

It's the idea that everyone has one and just one soulmate in the world, and that if you find them, you recognize them immediately. -- L.j.smith

Keller couldn't form any words for a moment. Then she said, "Galen? When you choose a form, choose something gentle."
I thought you thought everybody had to be a fighter." He said.
Some people shouldnt have to be. -- L.j.smith

You don't love a girl because of beauty. You love her because she sings a song only you can understand. -- L.j.smith

I do believe in shooting the messenger.
You know why? Because it sends a message. -- L.j.smith

The Vampire Diaries is the story of Elena falling in love with Damon. -- L.j.smith

She belongs to me, he sent out on a heavy wave of Power and on all frequencies, including the one the scream had come on. It might not be obvious, but she is mine. Touch her again and die. -- L.j.smith

This Kitten Has Claws -- L.j.smith

Audrey: I was wet.
Michael: Sweat.
Audrey: I don't sweat.
Michael: Well, ladylike perspiration, then. -- L.j.smith

I don't need to kill goats to say things. I CAN talk. -- L.j.smith

Why don't you sparkle?"
-"Because I live in the real world, where vampires burst into flames. -- L.j.smith

Damon's voice was no louder than before. "Get away from my brother." Bonnie could feel it inside him, a swell of Power like a tsunami. He continued, "Before I tear your heart out. -- L.j.smith

Feeling better?" he asked.
"As warm as chicken-apple soup."
"I'm never going to hear the end of that, am I? -- L.j.smith

I need you like - like light. You're light, all right - like a flame to a moth. I told you once that you shouldn't mess with forbidden things - I should have taken my own advice. -- L.j.smith

He had been so many things. Seductive as silver and deadly as a cobra. And vulnerable like a hurt child underneath it all. -- L.j.smith

And this is how the ending starts. -- L.j.smith

Merging like two drops of water.
Together in a way that humans could never know. -- L.j.smith

One more game," somebody behind her said, and somebody else said, "But who's going to be It? -- L.j.smith

There is nothing frightening in the dark if you just face it. -- L.j.smith

I'm going to kiss you... until you faint -- L.j.smith

Oh yeah? How about M'Lin the cursed? -- L.j.smith

I do believe in killing the messanger.
You know why? Its sends a message. -- L.j.smith

And in the mean time I'll fight dragons, just like any knight for his lady. -- L.j.smith

Mouse sandwiches and open graves?" Meredith arched an elegant eyebrow. "I think you're getting Stephen King mixed up with Lewis Carroll. -- L.j.smith

He was evil. Cruel, capricious, and dangerous as a cobra. A prince of darkness.
Completely evil, and completely in love with her. -- L.j.smith

Because God help us all if, I ever fall in love with another human ... -- L.j.smith

It did cross our minds at one point.Actually it seemed to keep crossing them.Maybe we should put in a crosswalk.
Ash -- L.j.smith

I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls. -- L.j.smith

They had been a couple for so long that everyone thought of them as Tom-and-Jenny, a single unit. -- L.j.smith

Cassie looked up at him, her fingers still intermeshed with his. "Sorry," she said unsteadily. "I was just scared."
"Remind me to get you scared frequently," Nick said. He looked slightly dazed. -- L.j.smith

You only want everything you don't have
Matt from The vampire diaries -- L.j.smith

Sometimes I think if I blink, you'll disappear -- L.j.smith

Elena: I love you.
Damon: 'til death do us part. -- L.j.smith

Well, the name is Salvatore. As in Savior - Damon Salvatore -- L.j.smith

Damon: "What about me?"
Rebekah: "You have a nice behind. -- L.j.smith

You're a witch, she reminded herself. You should love cemeteries. They're probably your natural habitat. -- L.j.smith

I'm as cruel as life. As cruel as love. -- L.j.smith

And of course there are the people whose energy fields are too strong," he said with a sly look at Rob. "You know, the people you agree with even when you don't know why. The ones that put you under a spell with their charisma-their energy just knocks you out. -- L.j.smith

She stood slim and proud as some medieval witch princess against dawn. -- L.j.smith

You can't just go out-
No, I'll dream another dream. -- L.j.smith

I never cheat. I practice Gamesmanship - the art of winning games without actually cheating. -- L.j.smith

Damon knew the truth. Stefan was dead all right - but he had been dead for hundreds of years. And it was true that he was a vampire, but calling him a demon was like calling Tinkerbell armed and dangerous. -- L.j.smith

That was courage, Keller thought. Not doing something without being afraid, but doing something even though you were afraid. -- L.j.smith

No, I'll dream another dream," he said. "I've made up so many things, now I'll just go into one. I'll be part of it. -- L.j.smith

The Henderson brothers never fell for a girl before, but they dont't know if they're on their heads or their feet anymore. I think they're going to make you a pipe bomb for Christmas. -- L.j.smith

Rob smiled his slow, infectious smile-and suddenly everything was all right. -- L.j.smith

And if he left me of his own free will, then he should get ready for the bitch-slapping of his life. -- L.j.smith

Blood mattered. Damon mattered. Even if i wished he didn't. -- L.j.smith

James, pull over, I want to kiss you. -- L.j.smith

I can't see anything" he said in a muffled voice, hand over his eyes. "I'm blind. -- L.j.smith

Stefan's love bathed her, shone through her, lighting every dark place in her soul like the sun. She trembled with pleasure, with love, and with longing. -- L.j.smith

I can't go down there. They think I'm dead!
Oh, you've remembered that. Good for you.
-- L.j.smith

My first kiss and I'm comatose. Great. -- L.j.smith

"I don't know; Killers are sort of romantic. Imagine your dying with his hands around his throat. He'd strangle the life out of you, and the last thing you would see would be his face." -- L.j.smith

The name is Salvatore. As in savior. -- L.j.smith

Interesting things happen in the dark ... sometimes. -- L.j.smith

That is for me to know and for you to dot, dot, dot.-Damon Salvatore -- L.j.smith

Something ... activated ... by psychic power. Do I have to explain weaponry, or can you manage that alone?' - Gabriel -- L.j.smith

People Die ...
Beauty Fades ...
Love Changes ...
And You Will Always Be Alone -- L.j.smith

It took me a while to get myself untied. Every time I meet you , I seem to end up hog-tied and unconscious -- L.j.smith

You don't need right - if you have strength -- L.j.smith

The first rule of truly living - do the thing you are most afraid of. -- L.j.smith

And then it was all so simple and natural. As if they both knew what to do without thinking-as if they'd always known what to do. -- L.j.smith

Wings of PURIFICATION -- L.j.smith

All I refuse and thee I choose. -- L.j.smith

You turned your back on me when I needed you. -- L.j.smith

When she got control of herself a few minutes later, she realized that in his arms she felt almost what she had in her dream, that inexpressible sense of peace and security. Of belonging, utterly.
As long as her soulmate was alive, and they were together, she would be all right. -- L.j.smith

Haven't you learned by now?" Damon asked, glancing sharply at me. "Nothing's easy -- L.j.smith

'Shadow Souls' pushes probably every border that you can. -- L.j.smith

Some people call it the world of dreams, but it is as real as anything
else ... ' Jenny -- L.j.smith

When a caterpillar changes into a butterfly it loses it's caterpillar life. -- L.j.smith

He lied, Jenny thought, racing up the steps. He changed the rules and he lied. Sometimes you can't return good for evil; sometimes evil simply has to be stopped. -- L.j.smith

It's as if the world is full of honeybees and I'm the only flower -Elena -- L.j.smith

You're Giving me a ... stick
MaryL to a very dangerious vampire -- L.j.smith

There was a fire inside him that only a few people could see. She could see it though, it was like the fire inside her. -- L.j.smith

Do I look like the kind of person who wastes time turning goats into pin cushions? -- L.j.smith

Bad magic happens"
Ash Redfern -- L.j.smith

I love you, she told him.
I love you, Kait. From the very beginning. -- L.j.smith

I already killed you once, I could easily do it again -- L.j.smith

You come back and you do it right now," Morgead bellowed in her ears and in her mind. "Right now! Do you hear me? -- L.j.smith

Do no harm. help when you can. return good for evil. -- L.j.smith

Get away from my brother." - Damon -- L.j.smith

It was as if the normal veil that separated two people had melted. -- L.j.smith

Love is for weak people, it's a delusion and it can be deadly. -- L.j.smith

You'll be mine before the next snow flies. -- L.j.smith

If you lose, there's the devil to pay. -- L.j.smith

I won't feel. . . But that was impossible. She couldn't help feeling. -- L.j.smith

That was the problem with having walls so hard and high and unscalable ... When they came down, they crumbled completely, shattering into nothingness. -- L.j.smith

I don't know how to make Harper and Alloy want me, not just my name. -- L.j.smith

if I take much more, you will begin to change. And -- L.j.smith

Nothing that's worth anything is ever simple. That's what makes it worth it -- L.j.smith

I fell in love with you. I didn't do it on purpose -- L.j.smith
