“He's not-" Daniel started to say. He watched a red-tailed hawk land in an oak tree over their heads. "He's not good enough for you."
Luce had heard people say that line a thousand times before. It was what everyone always said. Not good enough. But when the words passed Daniel's lips, they sounded important, even somehow true and relevant, not vague and dismissive the way the phrase had always sounded to her in the past.
"Well, then," she said in a quiet voice, "who is?"
Daniel put his hands on his hips. He laughed to himself for a long time. "I don't know," he said finally. "That's a terrific question."
Not exactly the answer Luce was looking for. "It's not like it's that hard," she said, stuffing her hands into her pockets because she wanted to reach out for him. "To be good enough for me."
Daniel's eyes looked like they were falling, all the violet that had been in them a moment before turned a deep, dark gray. "Yes," he said. "Yes, it is.”

“You're still here," he whispered.
"They couldn't drag me away.”
― Lauren Kate, Fallen

“You don't really know either of us," Cam said, standing and stepping away, "but you're prepared to choose right now, huh?”
― Lauren Kate, Fallen

“I think your girlfriends getting Jealous," Luce said, gesturing at the pair.
"Which one?" He asked.
"I didn't realise they were both your girlfriends."
"Neither is my girlfriend. I meant, which one did you think was my girlfriend?”
― Lauren Kate (Fallen)

“I know he would die if you died, Luce”
― Lauren Kate, Torment

“It was comforting to know I had fallen and could fall no farther.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Cam's wings were so bright they were almost blinding as they pulsed.
"Holy Hell," Callie whispered, blinking.
"More or less," Arriane said”
― Lauren Kate, Torment

“And while Luce dreamed below of the most glorious wings unfurling-the likes of which she'd never seen before-two angels in the rafters shook hands.”
― Lauren Kate, Fallen

“Rule number 2 - don't listen to me!" Arriane laughed, "I'm certifiably insane!”
― Lauren Kate

“I think the most tortured place in hell should be reserved not for traitors, but... for cowards. The weakest, most spineless losers. Because it seems to me that traitors? At least they made a choice. But cowards? They just run around biting their fingernails, totally afraid to do anything. Which is totally worse.”
― Lauren Kate

“I have flown and fallen, and I have swum deep and drowned, but there should be more to love than "I survived it.”
― Lisa Mantchev, So Silver Bright

“Because everyone knows, when it comes to love, it’s not the fall that hurtsâ€� it’s the landing.”
― Rachel Van Dyken, Toxic

“Fallen. Who tracks our footsteps, I wonder? We who are the forgotten, the discounted and the ignored. When the path is failure, it is never willingly taken. The fallen. Why does my heart weep for them? Not them but us, for most assuredly I am counted among them. Slaves, serfs, nameless peasants and labourers, the blurred faces in the crowd—just a smear on memory, a scuffing of feet down the side passages of history.

Can one stop, can one turn and force one’s eyes to pierce the gloom? And see the fallen? Can one ever see the fallen? And if so, what emotion is born in that moment?

There were tears on his cheeks, dripping down onto his chafed hands. He knew the answer to that question, knife-sharp and driven deep, and the answer was…recognition.”
― Steven Erikson, Midnight Tides

“Destiny was a machine built over time, each choice that you made in life adding another gear, another conveyor belt, another assemblyman. Where you ended up was the product that was spit out at the end—and there was no going back for a redo. You couldn‟t take a peek at what you‟d manufactured and decide, Oh, wait, I wanted to make sewing machines instead of machine guns; let me go back to the beginning and start again. One shot. That was all you got.”
― J.R. Ward, Crave

“What's simple is that everything good comes from God, and everything bad comes from man. Where it gets complicated is that everything seemingly good but ultimately bad comes from man, and everything seemingly bad but ultimately good comes from God.”

“For so long I have lived on the edge of an invisible world. Sometimes I feel like the scattered debris left over after the personality has fallen out of the sky.”

“Man has 2 common problems with God: the one is that there is evil in the world; the other is that free will is limited. The one, he is charging that the world is too evil; the other is that it is not evil enough.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“No single act is entirely redemptive, but all a fallen man has is the first step back.”
― Frederick Weisel

“The world was simpler in those days, Jaime thought, and men as well as swords were made of finer steel. Or was it only that he had been fifteen? They were all in their graves now, the Sword of the Morning and the Smiling Knight, the White Bull and Prince Lewyn, Ser Oswell Whent with his black humor, earnest Jon Darry, Simon Toyne and his Kingswood Brotherhood, bluff old Sumner Crakehall. And me, that boy I was â€� when did he die, I wonder? When I donned the white cloak? When I opened Aerys’s throat? That boy had wanted to be Ser Arthur Dayne, but someplace along the way he had become the Smiling Knight instead.”
― George R. R. Martin, A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold Pt. 2

“I have never seen a sight as moving as the fallen leaves bouncing in the wind.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

“You almost saved me until you saw how steep my ledge was so you gave up, convinced I was not worth the fall; now you will never know.”
― Stephanie Bennett-Henry

“The purest principles of liberty and freedom are rooted in a morality irresistibly greater than the men who aspire to such things. Therefore, despite its allure, we must forcefully cast aside the manufactured morality of fallen men as being nothing less than the anthesis of the precious liberties and fragile freedoms which we can ill-afford to sacrifice on the altar of man’s fabricated morality.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“When the applause is loud, guard your expectations, or you may fall hard.”
