“War was hell and magic wasn't real. I didn't need to be some famous man to say that.

â€� Alice”
― B.A. Lovejoy, Alice in the Land of Clovers

“Love is an afterthought, plenty of people fall in love after many years of being married. Alice doesn't like me yet, but she will soon. And I have checked every rule and law, I am allowed this privilege so long as she came on her own, which with all things considered, she technically did. So, I'm claiming her as mine.

â€� Fitzgerald (King of Diamonds)”
― B.A. Lovejoy, Alice in the Land of Clovers

“He was rather dapper, I would give him that, but fashion didn't quite make a man, anyone could tell you that. Far too often did fools dress in emperor's clothing.”
― B.A. Lovejoy, Alice in the Land of Clovers

“„Why do we get _more_ scared when we get older?â€� he asked quietly.
„We know betterâ€�, Ogma said.”

“Too many for my eyes to drink them all in, yet I cannot look away.

“You think because you can humiliate me, you can control me?

- Jude Duarte”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“Do you know what mortal means? It means born to die. It means deserving of death. That’s what you are, what defines you—dying. And yet here you stand, determined to oppose me even as you rot away from the inside out, you corrupt, corrosive mortal creature. Tell me how that is. Do you really think you can win against me? Against a prince of Faerie?

― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“I am no murderer

- Cardan Greenbriar”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“Every day that I don’t beg Cardan for forgiveness over a feud he started is a day I win. He can humiliate me, but every time he does and I don’t back down, he makes himself less powerful. After all, he’s throwing everything he’s got at someone as weak as I am and it’s not working. He’s going to take himself down.

“We all want stupid things. That doesn’t mean we should have them.

- Jude Duarte”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“I hate you because your father loves you even though you’re a human brat born to his unfaithful wife, while mine never cared for me, though I am a prince of Faerie. I hate you because you don’t have a brother who beats you. And I hate you because Locke used you and your sister to make Nicasia cry after he stole her from me.

- Cardan Greenbriar”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop.

“Thirty-five percent is a number that keeps my mom up at night. She doesn’t say it, but her computer does.

“When you have CF, you sort of get used to the idea of dying young.

“People are always looking at my cannula, my scars, my G-tube, not at me.

- Stella Grant”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“The predicted snowflakes finally drifting slowly through the air and landing on my cheeks and hair. I walk slowly to the roof’s edge and take a seat on the icy stone, dangling my legs off the side. I exhale a breath I feel like I’ve been holding since I got here two weeks ago.

- Will”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“Another step back. And another, his footsteps crunching in the freshly fallen snow. His eyes are locked on mine, daring me to say something, to stop him. Challenging me to call out to him.

- Stella Grant”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“And even though he’s the actual worst . . .
I don’t want him to die.

- Stella Grant”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“You’re beautiful.â€�
Shit. That slipped out. She stares at me, surprised and, unless I’m imagining it, just a little pleased.

- Will”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“I realize for the first time in a long time, I don’t really feel alone.

- Will”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“Thank you,â€� I say.
“For what?� he asks, looking up to meet my eyes.
“For saying something real.�"

- Stella Grant”

“I want to reach out and take her hand in mine. I want to tell her that everything will be okay and that this shouldn’t be a bad one.

- Will”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“I take a deep breath, resting my head on the door, my voice barely a whisper. “It’s going to be okay, Stella.â€�

- Will”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“I know in that moment, even though it could not be more ridiculous, that if I die in there, I won’t die without falling in love.

- Stella Grant”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“Promise?â€� I ask.
He nods and stretches his arm out, holding up a gloved pinky across the distance. I take it and we pinky promise. The smallest contact, but the first time we’ve ever touched.

- Stella Grant”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“His voice catches in his throat, and I know.
I know in that moment that this “little thing� between us isn’t over. It’s just starting.

- Stella Grant”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“Our eyes locked on each other’s as we struggle for air.
For once, it has nothing to do with our CF.

- Stella Grant”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“We smile at each other, and even though there are a million reasons why I shouldn’t, looking at her now, I can’t help feeling like I’m falling in love with her.

- Will”
― Rachael Lippincott, Five Feet Apart

“Stella looks at me across the table, the look in her hazel eyes by far the best birthday present I could ever get.

- Will”

“He was my best friend and I never hugged him.
