Maybe we had just gotten too used to being alone-- and maybe that needed to change.

Forgive yourself, but don't forget
Alexandra Bracken

Try to imagine where we'd be without you, darlin', and then maybe you'll see just how lucky we got.
Alexandra Bracken
Image
The thing is...what they don't tell you about forgiveness is this-you don't give it for the other person's sake, but your own.

Ruby, give me one reason why we can’t be together, and I’ll give you a hundred why we can. We can go anywhere you want. I’m not your parents. I’m not going to abandon you or send you away, not ever.

Sometimes the darkness lives inside you, and sometimes it wins.

Cause, frankly, the way I see it, you and me? Inevitable.

I was just an okay person.

I think maybe the most frustrating feeling in the world is to have something to say buy not know how to put it into words. To have lived through something but not be able to get it out of you before it festers.

Dear Dad, When you sent me to school that morning, I thought you loved me. But now I see you for what you are. You called me a monster and a freak. But you’re the one that raised me.

What I’m trying to get at is, as bad as everything seems, I think, at its heart, life is good. It doesn’t throw anything at us that it knows we can’t handle—and, even if it takes its time, it turns everything right side up again.

Real friends are hard to come by, and as annoying as Henry is, he'd throw himself in front of dragon's fire for you. And that's the definition of a real friend? Oh, yes, just ask Owain. He laughed.
Alexandra Bracken
Image
Owain told me about the beautiful, fair-haired Vesta. It took me several minutes to work out that Vesta was a horse, and that Owain was possibly in love with her.
Alexandra Bracken
Image
Owain crossed his arms over his chest. I've gone straight. Only good, clean jobs for me now. So, in other words, North said, you're living in poverty?
