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?
Alexandra Bracken
They were never scared of the kids who might die, or the empty spaces they would leave behind. They were afraid of us-the ones who lived.
Alexandra Bracken
Where did she come from, and where can I find one? Picked this one up at a gas station in West Virginia, bargain price. Last one on the shelf, sorry.
Alexandra Bracken
Ghosts don't haunt people--their memories do.
Alexandra Bracken
The most important thing you ever did was learn how to survive. Do not let anyone make you feel like you shouldn't have.
Alexandra Bracken
But there's a beginning in an end, you know? It's true that you can't reclaim what you had, but you can lock it up behind you. Start fresh.
Alexandra Bracken
No part of you is dark or ugly,' I said sharply, squeezing his hand. 'Not to me, not ever. Do you understand?
Alexandra Bracken
We want you. We wanted you yesterday, we want you today and we'll want you tomorrow. There's nothing you could do to change that.
