“Adeline has decided she would rather be a tree, like Estele. If she must grow roots, she would rather be left to flourish wild instead of pruned, would rather stand alone, allowed to grow beneath the open sky.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Dine with me,â€� Luc says as winter gives way to spring.
“Dance with me,� he says as a new year begins.
“Be with me,â€� he says, at last, as one decade slips into the next”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Her shadow stretches out ahead - too long, its edges already blurring - and small white flowers tumble from her hair, littering the ground like stars. A constellation left in her wake, almost like the one across her cheeks.

Seven freckles. One for every love she'd have, that's what Estele had said, when the girl was still young.
One for every life she'd lead.
One for every god watching over her.

Now they mock her, those seven marks. Promises. Lies. She's had no loves, she's lived no lives, she's met no gods, and now she is out of time.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“A dreamer," scorns her mother.
"A dreamer," mourns her father.
"A dreamer," warns Estele.
Still, it does not seem such a bad word..”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“And she wonders what it was that drew her here the first time.
Wonders if they are like magnets, she and Luc.
If they have circled each other for so long that now they share an orbit.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“A secret kept. A record made. The first mark she left upon the world, long before she knew the truth, that ideas are so much wilder than memories, that they long and look for ways of taking root.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Take a drink every time you hear a lie.
You're a great cook.
(They say as you burn toast.)
You're so funny.
(You've never told a joke.)
You're so...
... handsome.
... ambitious.
... successful.
... strong.
(Are you drinking yet?)
You're so...
... charming.
... clever.
... sexy.
(Drink.)
So confident.
So shy.
So mysterious.
So open.
You are impossible, a paradox, a collection at odds.
You are everything to everyone.
The son they never had.
The friend they've always wanted.
A generous stranger.
A successful son.
A perfect gentleman.
A perfect partner.
A perfect...
Perfect...
(Drink.)
They love your body.
Your abs.
Your laugh.
The way you smell.
The sound of your voice.
They want you.
(Not you.)
They need you.
(Not you.)
They love you.
(Not you.)
You are whoever they want you to be.
You are more than enough, because you are not real.
You are perfect, because you don't exist.
(Not you.)
(Never You.)
They look at you and see whatever they want...
Because they don't see you at all.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“They will not remember you, of course. But ideas are so much wilder than memories, so much faster to take root."
It will be fifty years before she realizes he is right. Ideas are wilder than memories.
And she can plant them, too.”

“I saw an Elephant, in Paris.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“He’d blinked and somehow years had gone by, and everyone else had carved their trenches, paved their paths, and he was still standing in a field, uncertain where to dig.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“To think, she could have lived and died and never seen the sea.”
― V. E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Humans are capable of such wondrous things. Of cruelty, and war, but also art and invention. She will think this again and again over the years, when bombs are dropped, and buildings felled, when terror consumes whole countries. But also when the first images are impressed on film, when planes rise into the air, when movies go from black-and-white to color.”
― V E Schwab

“She will learn in time that she can lie, and the words will flow like wine, easily poured, easily swallowed.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“The past drawn like a silk sheet over the present.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“I remember you"
Three words, large enough to tip the world.
I remember you.”
― V.E Schwab

“He is wild. But so is she.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Aut viam inveniam aut faciam - Troverò una strada o ne costruirò una”
― V. E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Addie ha tenido trescientos años para practicar el arte de su padre, para reducirse a sí misma a un puñado de verdades esenciales, para aprender cuáles son las cosas sin las que no puede vivir..”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“He can't hold time at bay.
It is racing forward now, rushing away.
And Addie looks at him as if she can read his mind, see the storm building in his head. But she is sunshine. She is clear skies.”
― V. E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“And she is all that's left, a solitary ghost hosting a vigil for forgotten things.”
― V. E. Schwab

“Addie is better than any little pink umbrella.
She is better than strong whisky on a cold night.
Better than anything he’s felt in ages.
When Henry is with her, time speeds up, and it doesn’t scare him.
When he is with Addie, he feels alive, and it doesn’t hurt.”
― V. E. Schwab

“Feels the warm circle of his arms as he pulled her back beneath the covers, the clean scent of him, the ease in his voice when she said, Don't forget, and he said, Never.”
― V. E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Henry, with his head tipped back, his glasses fogged gray, and sweat sliding down his cheeks like tears. For an instant he looks impossibly, immeasurably sad, and she remembers the pain in his voice when he spoke of losing time.”
― VE Schwab

“Addie feels like a museum sometimes, one only she can vist.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“What does it really look like?"
"I can show you," he purrs, letting the light settle in his palm. "Say the word, and I will lay your own soul bare before you. Surrender, and I promise, the last thing you see will be the truth."
There it is again.
One time salt, and the next honey, and each designed to cover poison.
Addie looks at the ring, lets herself linger on it one last time, and then forces her gaze up past the light to meet the dark.
"You know," she says, "I think I'd rather live and wonder.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“En un abrir y cerrar de ojos, los años se deslizan como el agua de un arroyo. Adeline ha cumplido ya los dieciséis, y todos hablan de ella como si fuera una flor de verano,
algo que pueden arrancar de la tierra y meter en un jarrón, como si solamente estuviera destinada a florecer y a pudrirse. Igual que Isabelle, quien sueña con una familia en lugar de la libertad, y parece satisfecha con florecer durante un breve instante y después marchitarse. No, Adeline ha decidido que prefiere ser un árbol, igual que Estele. Si tiene que echar raíces, prefiere florecer en estado salvaje en lugar de ser podada, prefiere quedarse sola y que le permitan crecer bajo el cielo abierto. Mejor eso que acabar convertida en leña y arder en la chimenea de otra persona.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Veo a alguien que se preocupa por los demas -dice Addie lentamente-. Tal vez demasiado. Que siente demasiado. Veo a alguien perdido y hambriento. La clase de persona que cree estar consumiendose en un mundo repleto de comida, porque no sabe lo que quiere.”

“Did I ruin it?â€�
“Ruin what?� he asks.
“U²õ.â€�
“Addie.â€� He grabs her shoulder. She turns, expecting to see his face streaked with anger, but it’s steady, smooth. “It was just a fight. It’s not the end of the world. It’s certainly not the end of us.”
― V. E. Schwab

“Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives- or to find strength in a very long one.”
― V.E. Schwab (Author)

“You get this look on your face, he says, when you're remembering.”
