More quotes by Alexandra Bracken

Alexandra Bracken
Maybe we had just gotten too used to being alone-- and maybe that needed to change.
Alexandra Bracken
Dreaming led to disappointment, and disappointment to a kind of depressed funk that wasn’t easy to shake. Better to stay in the gray than get eaten by the dark.
Alexandra Bracken
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
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.
Alexandra Bracken
Thank you,” he was whispering, “thank you, thank you.…” And then he was kissing my face, every inch of it he could find, wiping away the tears and soot, chanting my name.
Alexandra Bracken
You're a wizard, I snapped. Can't you just use magic to make your own food? Ah, yes, he retorted. Because mud pies are so very delicious and the wind fills empty stomachs quite nicely.
Alexandra Bracken
The thing that scares me is that some part of me understands where they're coming from. They took everything from us, you know? Why shouldn’t we be able to take it back if we have the power to?
