“I want everything with you, America. I want the holidays and the birthdays, the busy season and lazy weekends. I want peanut butter fingertips on my desk. I want inside jokes and fights and everything. I want a life with you.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“Oh, yes. She’s still here,â€� Maxon said, not letting his eyes wander from Gavril’s face. “And I plan on keeping her here for quite a while.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“What am I supposed to call you?"

"Your Royal Husbandness. It's required by law, I'm afraid.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that's all it would manage to do.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“I couldn’t help but
notice it was always this way. At state events or important dinners, Mom was beside Dad or situated
right behind him. But when they were just husband and wife—not king and queen—he followed her
everywhere.”
― Kiera Cass, The Heir

“He gave a dark chuckle. “But you’re not, so you had absolutely no qualms about kneeing me in the groin, right?â€�

“I hit your thigh!�

“Oh, please. A man doesn’t need that long to recover from a knee to the thigh,â€� he replied, his voice full of skepticism.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“You know how your mother and I met,â€� Dad began.
I rolled my eyes. “Everyone does. You two are practically a fairy tale.”
― Kiera Cass, The Heir

“You were the one who changed us when you left me in the tree house; and you keep thinking that if you push hard enough, you can make everything go back to before that moment. It doesn't work that way. Give me a chance to choose you.”
― Kiera Cass, The Elite

“What are these?" Maxon asked, brushing across the tips of my fingers as we walked.
"Calluses. They're from pressing down on violin strings four hours a day."
"I've never noticed them before."
"Do they bother you?" I was the lowest caste of the six girls left, and I doubted any of them had hands like mine.
Maxon stopped moving and lifted my fingers to his lips, kissing the tiny, worn tips.
"On the contrary. I find them rather beautiful." I felt myself blush. "I've seen the world – admittedly mostly through bulletproof glass or from the tower of some ancient castle – but I've seen it. And I have access to the answers of a thousand questions at my disposal. But this small hand here?" He looked deeply into my eyes. "This hand makes sounds incomparable to anything I've ever heard. Sometimes I think I only dreamed that I heard you play the violin, it was so beautiful. These calluses are proof that it was real.”

“December 27, Noon.

America,

I might as well tell you this since your maids will tell you anyway. I've been thinking of the little things you do. Sometimes you hum when you walk around the palace. Sometimes when I come up to your room, I hear the melodies you've saved up in your heart spill out the doorway. The palace seems empty without them.

I also miss your smell. I miss your perfume drifting off your hair when you turn to laugh at me or your scent radiating on your skin when we walk through the garden. It's intoxicating.

So I went to your room to spray your perfume on my handkerchief, another silly little trick to make me feel like you were here. And as I was leaving your room, Mary caught me. I'm not sure what she was looking after since you're not here; but she saw me, shrieked, and a guard came running in to see what was wrong. He had his staff gripped, and his eyes flashed threateningly. I was nearly attacked. All because I missed your smell.”

“Should I get more butter?"
"Shut up, Eadlyn,”
― Kiera Cass, The Heir

“I do intend on giving you things, but that's not what I mean. I'm going to love you more that any man has ever loved a woman, more than you ever dreamed you could be loved. I promise you that.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“I always wondered if they’d change you.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“Don't tug your ear with anyone else. That's mine.”
― Kiera Cass, The Elite

“Thank you,â€� he whispered. “At least I can know for certain that, for one brief moment of our time together, you and I felt the same thing.”
― Kiera Cass, The Elite

“America, my dear, I hope you find something, in this cage worth fighting for.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“You were my pick. My only pick.”
― Kiera Cass, The Elite

“Say it, America. Please. Tell me you love me, that you want to be mine alone.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“I want you to be mine alone and I want to give you everything.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“You are all dear to me. it is simply a matter of discovering who shall be the dearest.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“Just remember, your mother doesn't let things happen to her. When something tries to ruin her life, she drags it into the street.”
― Kiera Cass, The Crown

“I didn't want to be a princess.'
'Really?'
'Really.'
She smiled. 'Not wanting the crown means you're probably the best person to have it.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“Me quedé despierta un rato más, pensando en él y en lo mucho que le quería, y en la sensación que me producía su amor. Me sentía especial, incomparable, única. Ninguna reina, en ningún trono, podía sentirse más importante que yo.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“He'd do anything for the people he loved, and I knew without question that I was the person he loved the most.”
― Kiera Cass, The Elite

“Nuestras miradas se cruzaron por un momento, y yo sabía que, a sus ojos, ya no podría pasar desapercibida nunca más.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“Espero que encuentres a alguien que te haga sentir que no puedes vivir sin ella. De verdad. Y espero que nunca experimentes lo que puede ser vivir sin esa persona, todo el esfuerzo que conlleva.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“I've heard a collective gasp. I ran over the sentence in my head. It took me a minute to catch my mistake; I'd called him Maxon.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection

“I LOVE YOU, AMERICA. AND I'M SO, SO PROUD. -DAD”
― Kiera Cass, The Elite

“-Somos un desastre, ¿no te parece?
-De los gordos.
-A veces tengo la sensación de que somos como un nudo, demasiado enredado como para que nos puedan separar.
-Es cierto.-Asentí.- Gran parte de mí está ligada a ti. Si no estás cerca me siento perdida.
Aspen tiró de mí, me pasó una mano por la sieny ladejó caer por mi mejilla.
-Entonces tendremos que quedarnos así, enmarañados.”
― Kiera Cass, The Elite

“Spezzami il cuore. Spezzamelo mille volte, se vuoi. È sempre stato tuo perché ne facessi ciò che volevi.”
