Michelle Hodkin quotes:

He didn't look like the same person who picked me up this morning. Noah--sarcastic, distant, untouchable Noah--cared. And that made him real.

I knew one hundred little things about Noah Shaw but when he kissed me I couldn't remember my own name.

Why?' He asked.'Why what?' What could I say? Noah, despite you being an asshole, or maybe because of it, I'd like to rip off your clothes and have your babies. Don't tell.

I want YOU to be the one wanting me first. Pushing me first. Kissing me first. Don't be careful with me," he said. "Because I won't be careful with you.

Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.

You can't hurt me the way you think you can. But even if you could? I would rather die with the taste of you on my tongue than live and never touch you again. I'm in love with you, Mara. I love you. No matter what you do.

You think it can't get worse than wanting someone and not having them, but it can. You can want someone, have them, and want them more. Still. Always. You can never get enough.

Noah started this chase and I stood before him, waiting to be caught. He could have me, but he refused to move.Only now did I realize why.He wanted to be caught. He was waiting for me to chase him.

Everyone's a little crazy. Some people just hide it better than others.

What would you do if I kissed you right now?"I stared at his beautiful face and his beautiful mouth and I wanted nothing more than to taste it. "I would kiss you back.

If I were to live a thousand years, I would belong to you for all of them. If we were to live a thousand lives, I would want to make you mine in each one.

I was warned about you, you know."And with that half-smile that wrecked me, Noah said, "But you're here anyway.

"What would you do if I kissed you right now?" I stared at his beautiful face and his beautiful mouth and I wanted nothing more than to taste it. "I would kiss you back."

Boys are stupid and girls are trouble.

Do not find peace. Find passion.

I was going to kiss him, and I was going to regret it. But at that moment, I couldn't bring myself to care.

I would rather die with the taste of you on my tongue than live and never touch you again.

If you expect the worst from people, that's exactly what you'll get.

Thanks. Seriously, you must have better things to do with your life than waste it on the hopeless?''I've already learned Parseltongue. What else is there?''Elvish.

You could start a fire with the heat between you two.""You're mistaking bitter animosity for heartfelt affection."

And that for every negative event or coincidence that has happened since, imagining that you triggered them, that you made them happen makes you feel like you possess a degree of control that you don't have.

I must be made of nothing to feel so much nothing.

Maybe sometimes we can only see the truth about ourselves if someone shows us where to look.

There is no truth," Stephanie said mysterously. "Only perspectives.

You are what happiness means to me. And I would rather have today with you than forever with anyone else.

Like your the ocean and he's desperate to drown.

They lie, you know. It's not easier to ask for forgiveness. Not even a little.

But when everyone tells you you're crazy and no one believes you when you swear you aren't, a small part of you will always wonder if they're right.

I feel something, I do it. I want something, I take it.

I'll walk forever with stories inside me that the people I love the most can never hear.

It doesn't matter what we are. It matters what we do.

My name is not Mara Dyer, but my lawyer told me I had to choose something. A pseudonym. A nom de plume, for all of us studying for the SATs. I know that having a fake name is strange, but trust me-it's the most normal thing about my life right now. Even telling you this much probably isn't smart. But without my big mouth, no one would know that a seventeen-year-old who likes Death Cab for Cutie was responsible for the murders. No one would know that somewhere out there is a B student with a body count. And it's important that you know, so you're not next.

Pain is just a feeling, and feelings aren't real.

Sometimes, the biggest secrets you can only tell a stranger.

The people we care about are always worth more to us than the people we don't. No matter what anyone pretends.

The thing about happiness, though, is that it never lasts.

You can't be fixed. You can't be saved.

You could start a fire with the heat between you two. You're mistaking bitter animosity for heartfelt affection.

You're stronger than you believe. Don't let your fear own you. Own yourself.
