“I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone-you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.”
― Alyson Noel, Evermore

“Oh, so you see some chick in baggy jeans and a hoodie, and you just have to have her so bad, you decide to repeat high school, just to get her?"

"Sounds about right." He laughs.”
― Alyson Noel, Evermore

“Though I have to admit, I had a good laugh when I realized you thought I was a bloodsucker." He smiles.

"Oh, well excuse me. I mean since there are immortals running around, I figure we may as well bring on the faeries, wizards, werewolves, andâ€�" I shake my head. "I mean jeez, you talk about all this like it's normal!”
― Alyson Noel, Evermore

“Deep down inside, my heart knew the score.
And I know that Haven was wrong.
It's not always a case of one loving more than the other.
When two people are truly meant to be, they love equally.
Differently - but still equal.”
― Alyson Noel, Night Star

“Soundlessly whispering into the void, my lips moving quickly, silently, without ceasing. Calling his name, calling him to me.
Even though there's no use.
Even though it's futile.
Even though it's way past too late.”
― Alyson Noel, Night Star

“Despite the fact that he no longer dressed like the big dork he did then, despite the fact that he’d swapped the nerd wear for some
much cooler clothes, despite the fact that he’d let his hair go all shaggy and loose to the point where it curved down into his face in that
cool guy, slightly windswept, effortless way, despite the fact that every time I looked into his brilliant blue eyes I was totally reminded of
the Zac Efron poster that used to hang on my old bedroom wall, it still didn’t make it okay for him to laugh at me the way he did.”
― Alyson Noel, Shimmer

“After two solid weeks of waking up in Damen's bed, wrapped in Damen's arms, you'd think I'd have grown used to it by now.
But nope.
Not even close.
Though I could get used to it.
I'd like to get used to it.”
― Alyson Noel, Everlasting

“He stops in his tracks, face expressing major disappointment. "Wait - seriously? That's it? We don't get to do a stealthy tiptoe as we slip around back? No sneaking through a cracked window, or arguing over who gets to crawl through the dogie door to let the other one in?”
― Alyson Noel, Night Star

“And just as I start to move past him, my hip accidentally rubs against his, and his face is so close, and his eyes so deep, that I can't help but lift my fingers to his smooth, sculptured cheek. Then without even thinking, I close my eyes, lean in, and kiss him.”
― Alyson Noel, Saving Zoë

“But why didn't you just ask me?" I set down my fork and glare at her.
"Because you were sleeping," She says, taking a sip if Chardonnay.
"I was taking a nap, Mom. It wasn't intended to be some kind of Disney fairy-tale hundred-year snooze.”
― Alyson Noel, Art Geeks and Prom Queens

“For the moment, I’m just Daire—a girl straddling two bloodlines. One I was given—one I must earn.”
― Alyson Noel, Fated

“I won't take advantage of you. Today, I'll be your friend."

"Fen has been my friend for decades," she said, sliding her arm into his when he offered it to her. "And he never presumed to put his mouth on mine."

"Obviously I'll be a different kind of friend.”
― Nalini Singh, Angels' Flight

“Hey, honey!â€� I called brightly. “You’re home early. And here I didn’t even get to put a bow on the gift I have for you.â€�

Scotini glanced from Noel to me and then sent Caroline a scandalized glance. “Oh my God. Your brother’s gay?�

Really? I turned to her too, and with the same tone, I said, “Oh my God. Is he fucking stupid?�

She just sighed, looking a little ashamed, as if embarrassed she’d ever had anything to do with such a brainless douche.

“Ten?� Noel strode over, scowling hard. “What the hell are you doing? Aspen called at work, saying you were beating the shit out of some stranger in our backyard. So, I come home to find this. Who is this guy?�

I couldn’t help but smile. “Well, why don’t I introduce you, buddy. This here is Sander Scotini.�

Noel pulled back in shock and stared at Scotini before a small smile lit his face. “Is he really?�

I nodded. “And Sandy,â€� I said, picking the little shit up off the ground, by his hair. “Meet Caroline’s overprotective, homicidal big brother, Noel Gamble.”
― Linda Kage, A Perfect Ten

“And I start to say, no.
Start to ask him to please just take it off and put it away.
Start to explain how it holds far too many memories for me.
But then I remember what Damen said once about memories - that they're haunting things.
And because I refuse to be haunted by mine - I just take a deep breath and smile when I say, "You know, I think it looks really good on you. You should defiantly keep it.”
― Alyson Noel, Night Star

“The two of us warmed by a bold beam of light that wicks the moisture from my dress, my hair, and my skin—returning it to the sky where it promises to find me again in the form of dew, snow, or rain.”
― Alyson Noel, Fated

“Noel ducked to the lower cabinets â€� a percussion of pots and pans clanged into each other.

“Are you intentionally trying not to listen to me?�

His head popped above the counter. “I resent that. I’m a great listener. Just ask the TV.�

Emily rolled her eyes. “Alright. I had…�

Noel heard her swallow and he suddenly wanted to knock himself out with the frying pan.

“…relations…with a mortal, Tommy.�

He ducked again, this time from embarrassment. He groaned silently, wishing she’d turn and walk away before she said what he knew was coming.

“It wasn’t quite the same as it was when I was human. It didn’t—�

“Please you, yeah I got it,â€� he blurted. “Please, for the love of God, stop.”
― Devon Ashley, Metamorphosis

“He rambled.
Oh boy, did he ramble.
He rambled in a way that was nothing but
a bunch of bippidy blah blah to my ears.
Rambled in a way that made my head go
all dizzy and squeezy.”
― Alyson Noel , Dreamland

“.My middle name is actually Noel."
"So what's your first then?" From her expression, he was almost afraid to ask.
Noel bit her bottom lip. "Christmas.”
― Katie Reus, Miami, Mistletoe & Murder

“Noël est un mensonge qui réunit les familles autour d'un arbre mort recouvert de lumières, un mensonge tissé de conversations insipides, enfoui sous des kilos de crème au beurre, un mensonge auquel personne ne croit.”
― Delphine de Vigan, No and Me

“Wait, I need to know who you are," I replied, desperately needing to know him.
"Someone you can trust," he said ominously.
I frowned at that, but he just sighed. He brushed my fallen brown hair softly away from my face and gently tucked it behind my ear, then left a tender kiss on my forehead and broke away from me before I could protest.”
― Andrea Heltsley, Dreamwalker

“Many came but only two blue did appear.
Enlaced in a sleigh, all happy the reindeer,
Rolled in the snow that covered the house,
Reindeer darling of she who's Ana Claus,
Yell to the whole world to hear:

Christ, the Lord, oh just so near!
Holy Saints rejoice and sing,
Real life comes for us to bring
In tender thoughts and dear salvation,
So is the Lord and all His Creation.
Tender and sweet as the little things,
Mild and soft He who is the King.
All in one voice echoeing with no parallel:
Save us the Lord, it's Noel, Noel, Noel!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic

“He took the word in his pocket, and the gift in his heart. Then he closed the door. Christmas was starting. (Il prit le mot dans sa poche, et le cadeau dans son cÅ“ur. Puis il ferma la porte. Noël commençait.)”
― Charles de Leusse, Les Contes de la nuit

“The Salvation Army bell ringer at Walmart was dressed in a Batman costume. I wasn’t sure if I should give him a dollar or a candy bar.â€�
