Flawed, we’re truly interesting, truly memorable, and yes, truly beautiful.

How many lives do you need to live, before you find someone worth dying for?
Lauren Kate (Torment)
Now that I’ve found the way to fly, which direction should I go into the night?

I knew exactly what you’d done. I know that feelings. You have to do something. You have to change something radically, because you can’t stay like you are for another second, or you’re going to explode.
Jennifer Echols (Going Too Far)

Same people. Same hellos and goodbyes. Same beginnings and endings. Same befores and afters
Sarah Ockler (Twenty Boy Summer)
Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.
Lauren Olive (Before I Fall)
Shooting stars are not really stars at all but meteorites, burning their way through our atmosphere, sometimes landing in the oceans and in the middle of farms…you could make wishes on them if you like, but they are really just pieces of rock falling down from the sky, and they could land on your head and kill you just as you look up to make a wish. Really, they’re just rocks. They don’t care about your wishes at all.
Laura Moriarty (The Center Of Everything)
