“I came up on the screen, too, Cassia. But he was the one you chose to see.”
― Ally Condie, Matched

“Nothing but trees.”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“Alright. I'm over on the dark side. You'd better have the cookies I've been promised.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“knock knock! I just happened to have my ear pressed to this door. I might have overheard some things, and I have a suggestion!”
― Jennifer Lynn Barnes

“I don't know...just a feeling, like in..." Xander thought for a moment. "Star Wars. You know, when Han Solo says, 'I've got a bad feeling about this'?”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“If I guess your secret, will you tell me if I'm right?" His father laughed but didn't answer.”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“But I didn't see it. I believed him unchanging, a stone in all good senses of the word, solid, dependable, something and someone you could build upon. But he is as we all are: light as air, transient as wisps of cloud before the sun, beautiful and fleeting, and if I ever did truly have hold of him, that has ended now.”

“I've found duct tape more effective than advice, myself.”
― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Final Gambit

“Xander let the full extent of his misery show on his face for his mother. She gave his knee a shake, sharing his misery. She was good that way. "Give it some time," she whispered. "You'll make new friends and find new things to do. Wait and see.”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“Tendrils of mist slithered over the forest floor, around the base of trees. Xander noticed that some of it had climbed the porch pillars and drifted, almost invisibly, over the shingles of the porch roof. It reminded him of an old TV series Dean's dad had bought on DVD: Dark Shadows. It was about a creepy old house and a vampire who lived there. Barnabas, Xander remembered.”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“David!" Xander yelled, because he had to yell something. His eyes snapped back to the figure in the upstairs doorway, but it was gone. "What do you want?" David asked.
"I...were you just upstairs?"
"I haven't looked up there yet."
"But I just saw you up there.”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“Xander could sense more than David's smile. He wished he could be more like that, easygoing. But then, David hadn't seen what Xander had seen.”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“Fries and fortune... The perfect combination.”

“Little boy and little girl.I don't know how old. Sweetest family in the world, of you listen to the old folks around here." Xander was stunned. "And nobody knows what happened to them?"
"Some say they high-tailed it to Europe." She raised her eyebrows at him. "Most believe he took them somewhere and killed them. Then took his own life."
Dad forced a smile. "Just old rumors," he said.”
― Robert Liparulo, House of Dark Shadows

“Brady! You can鈥檛 watch that!鈥�
He looked up at me, his eyebrows furrowed, from his place on the floor. The remote was far away from him, next to the screen, so he couldn鈥檛 have changed the channel. I snatched it up and hit the information button. 鈥淲hat the hell is a YoGabbaGabba?鈥� I looked back over at Brady and frowned. 鈥淯h, never mind. Go ahead.鈥�
Walking with purpose back into the kitchen, I whispered into the receiver. 鈥淥kay. No joke, there is a talking, dancing, bright red, studded dildo on the screen. There are other ones that look like him, and I swear to God one is wearing a condom on his head. That鈥檚 a kids鈥� show?鈥� I looked back into the living room. 鈥淲hatever happened to good old-fashioned cartoons? Don鈥檛 they have good shit like Animaniacs anymore?”
― Amber L. Johnson, Eight Days a Week

“What if they all left? What if everyone else flew to the Otherlands or went still and I was here alone? Would I keep going? I would. I can't seem to treat this life I have as anything but the only thing.”
― Ally Condie, Reached

“That, my dear Liv, was confidence. Talk to someone. Make jokes with them. Seem interested in what they are saying even if they're dull as mud.鈥� He shrugged. 鈥淎nyone... anyone at all, can be glamoured if you know how.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“Cosplay. Why you just said the magic word!”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“Breathtaking.
That was the word, Liv decided, which had convinced her to wear the ludicrous outfit, because no one - not the one, solitary boyfriend she'd had during high school, or the leering frat boys she avoided at college parties - had ever spoken to her with such reverence. And with Xander beaming down at her, she did feel beautiful.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“Mona was nice.鈥�
Liv choked, the latt茅 sloshing over the edge and onto her fingers. 鈥淵ou set that up to be mean,鈥� she said, putting the cup back on the table.
Xander smirked. 鈥淚 didn't actually. She's a cool chick.鈥�
鈥淭hen why don't you date her?鈥�
Xander's grin widened. 鈥淚 did, dearest. That's why I know.鈥�
鈥淏ut I'm not gay!鈥�
鈥淏ut you might be bi,鈥� Xander said. 鈥淵ou never actually said.鈥� He waved away her protesting gasp. 鈥淚 just thought you should check Mona out. Sexuality is a spectrum, Liv. Never know until you try.”

“So it's important to know where you are in your cycle?"

"What?" She had no idea what the man was asking.

"The poltergeist!" Xander stated, then seeing her confusion carried on. "Are you ovulating?"

As the plane levelled out and the engine noise dropped abruptly stunned silence blanketed the jet, until Nate's voice sounded from the back of the plane. "Dude, one head injury wasn't enough for you this week?”

“Ready for a selfie, m'lady?”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“Xander stood at the end of the bed, hands on hips, the jacket she'd helped him sew thrown open, a gold-threaded waistcoat glimmering underneath. He was the Regency hero today, but she didn't feel like being saved.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“You can do it now. You can't say you've never dated, because you have. A lot of people, actually.鈥� Xander's gave her a mischievous grin. 鈥淵ou've leveled up, dearest. You're an expert on dating compared to Liv of six months ago.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“I'm very cute, you know. And I'm not sure you've heard, but I have five thousand pounds a year. I've taken a place in Boulder for the season. Miss Dashwood and her sister will vouch for my parentage.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“Everyone puts them on a pedestal, but we shouldn't. Acting is a service industry, as much as waiting tables. An actor works for us, not the other way around.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“In seconds an 'up' elevator came rushing toward them. The doors opened, revealing a mostly-empty interior.
鈥淪ometimes,鈥� he said, 鈥測ou have to go up to go down.鈥�
Liv followed him in, marveling at the scene below them. She could see the full scope of Dragon Con from her bird's eye vantage, the floor a living mass of bodies. Tiny toy-sized people in cosplay moved in bright splotches of color ten stories down. And it wasn't just one section. The atrium level was equally packed, the hallways leading to ballrooms around the hotel teaming with people. With an unsettling rush, the elevator sprang upward, the figures shrinking into specks. Liv's stomach contracted and she pulled back from the glass. They were incredibly high.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“Relax, Xander. It's only two lines.鈥�
He closed his eyes and leaned into her, his arms wrapping her back. 鈥淏ut it's still lines in a real film, and if I mess it up-鈥�
鈥淭hey'll have you do it again. And again... and again.鈥� Liv laughed. 鈥淣o big deal. Life is full of second chances.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“This advice from a college freshman carrying a cane?"

"It's a walking stick, I'll have you know."

"Same difference."

"Hardly. It's fashion.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“The tiny feeling of loss deep within my heart surprises me. My peers will spend the next few days swooning over pictures of their Matches, bragging about them during meal hours at school, waiting for more and more bits of information to be revealed. Anticipating their first meeting, their second meeting, and so on. That mystery does not exist for Xander and me. I won't wonder what he is like or daydream about our first meeting.”
