“You have no right to tell me-"

"You do not want to finish that sentence, missy. You want to sit down, close your mouth, and eat."

"How am I supposed to eat with my mouth closed?”
― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Raised by Wolves

“I have nothing to give anyone, really. It鈥檚 the one gift I can give that has any kind of value. It makes me feel worthy.”
― Fisher Amelie, Callum & Harper

“Want to dance?" He scooped me into his arms before I could reply. "We have music this time. And I don't have to punch you when we finish."
"You don't have to. But if I step on your feet too many times you can feel free.”

“So why did you want to kiss me?"
"We're friends aren't we?" Callum shrugged.
I relaxed into a smile. "Of course we are."
"And if you can't kiss your friends who can you kiss?" Callum smiled.”
― Malorie Blackman, Noughts & Crosses

“But remember this if nothing else: I love you more than there are words or stars. I love you more than there are thoughts and feelings. I love you more than there are seconds or moments gone or to come. I love you.”
― Malorie Blackman, Checkmate

“Want to dance? We have music this time. And I don't have to punch you when we finish.”

“Boo: "Go talk to her."

Callum: "About what?"

Boo: "Anything."

Callum: "You want me to walk up to her and say, 'Are you a ghost?'"

Boo: "I do that."

Callum: "I love it when you get it wrong.”
― Maureen Johnson, The Name of the Star

“Her smile faded to a more serious expression. "Is everything okay? With Callum?"
"Fine," I said, taking a bite of meat and avoiding her eyes.
"He's crazy about you, you know," she said softly, like I hadn't just told her things were fine. "I see other girls looking at him sometimes, and he doesn't even notice. He only sees you.”
― Amy Tintera, Rebel

“You have the same smile, the same shaped eyes, the same way of tilting your head to listen, the same stubborn streak, the same common sense. Lots of things about you and him are the same.”
― Malorie Blackman, Checkmate

“I think it鈥檚 tragic. For someone to be given these incredible abilities, only to have them stripped away? It鈥檚 so wasteful. To know what this world could look like, what humanity could be, if only we all chose to do our best, to help others, to聽鈥� to be, well, heroes. I don鈥檛 like to think of that chance being taken away from someone before they鈥檝e lived up to their potential.鈥�

鈥淩ight,鈥� said Nova. 鈥淓xcept, having superpowers doesn鈥檛 automatically turn you into some selfless hero. People are greedy and cruel, and聽鈥� for some, having superpowers just makes them even more greedy and cruel.”
― Marissa Meyer, Archenemies

“Only for a minute. I'll be right back." He plopped the baby in her lap and hopped to his feet. Wren held her at arm's length and frowned. She did not appreciate that, because she immediately began wailing.
"Here," Wren said, thrusting her in my direction. "Take the mutant baby.”

“You smell so good,"
"No, I don't, I smell like death."
"You're crazy, you're not dead. You do not smell like death."
"I was dead a long time."
"And now you're not. Hence the alive smell.”

“Of course not. But unless my count is mistaken, you鈥檙e currently surrounded by three idiots in their early twenties.
Mid-twenties.
Right, critical distinction. Now they鈥檙e old enough to be aware of how stupid they are
Isn鈥檛 that all maturity is in the end? The gradual acceptance of personal idiocy?”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“Here, he thought, yanking the sunglasses from his misshapen face鈥攕ee me. See all of me for what I really am. You鈥檙e the only one who ever has.”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“He put his hand on a waist-high bit of wall, and a chunk of stone immediately shook loose. It landed on his boot, crushing his great toe. Logan kicked it aside and ground out a curse.
He turned in time to see Rabbie extending an open palm in Callum's direction. "I'll take my payment now."
Callum resentfully dug a coin from his sporran and placed it in Rabbie's hand.
Logan had had enough of their mysterious chatter. "Explain yourselves."
"I'm just settling a wager with Callum," Rabbie said.
"What kind of bet?" he demanded.
"As to whether you bedded your wee little English bride on the wedding night." Rabbie grinned. "I said no. I won."
Damn. Was his frustration that obvious?
Logan thought of the way he'd just cursed at a rock.
Yes, it probably was.”
― Tessa Dare, When a Scot Ties the Knot

“Something-something not all men," muttered Callum, who couldn't be bothered to defend his Y chromosome at the moment.”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Paradox

“It means the archives are 鈥渁live鈥� the same way artificial intelligence is 鈥渁live.鈥� It tracks us. It maybe (probably) thinks in some rudimentary way. But its information about the world doesn鈥檛 come from its own intrinsic existence鈥攊t comes from data that we supply.
And?
And that information is imperfect but it鈥檚 still not as imperfect as humanity. In nature, things that don鈥檛 fit the pattern die. Evolution is a code, it determines that the life cycle of any species is a matter of pattern recognition. But humans don鈥檛 let other humans die even when they should鈥攅ven when it means disproportionate resources to keep them alive. Or they kill each other off in direct opposition to the codes of survival, based on something as irrelevant as skin color or which thing they speak to in the sky. Whether a person lives or dies is almost completely arbitrary.”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“Fucking hell, where would Callum even start? All of it, the whole story, life and death and everything, it was shaken up inside him like some depraved martini, all these things, these sentiments and feelings. He wanted a drink, but not the way he鈥檇 wanted one last year, like trying to drown it all and find some silence.”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“Something has either gone very wrong with this place, or something has gone very wrong with me.
I honestly don't know which one it is.”
― Paul Blackwell, Undercurrent

“I had to admire his ability to keep that smile on his face, even when things sucked”
― Amy Tintera, Reboot

“Isn鈥檛 this what it is to be human? To want to matter? To have a purpose?
Let me ask you something. If your purpose was to open the multiverse, what would happen afterward?”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“He could feel it anyway, and that meant all of it was real.”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“She was totally going to get this little fucker back for this.”
― Beth Ashworth, Broken Truth

“In his haste to devour her body, Charlie noticed that Callum hadn鈥檛 even bothered to remove his jacket and tie.”
― Beth Ashworth, Broken Truth

“Your fucking tits are amazing...”
― Beth Ashworth, Broken Truth

“Couldn鈥檛 have come at a more perfect time, hey? You gonna answer it and then fuck off for four hours?鈥� she asked, her tone laced with fury.”
― Beth Ashworth, Broken Truth

“She could feel the pressure from his hand on the back of her head as he forced her head down to take him whole once again. Flicking her eyes sideways, she glanced up to find Callum鈥檚 heavily lustful eyes penetrating right into her.”
― Beth Ashworth, Broken Truth

“no matter what he said about us leaving and not working with the humans, his first instinct was to stay and save them, and I liked that about him. I hadn't realized it at first, but I liked that he had a deep sense of right and wrong and stuck to what he believed”
― Amy Tintera, Rebel
