More quotes by Alexandra Bracken
I pulled myself from his mind, day by day, piece by piece, memory by memory, until there was nothing of Ruby left to weigh him down or keep him bound to my side.
Alexandra Bracken
What good is strength if you have no sense?
Alexandra Bracken
—I don't want to lose you —Then why are you the one that keeps letting go?
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.
Alexandra Bracken
That was the Liam Stewart way of saying, Hi, darlin', missed you something fierce.
Alexandra Bracken
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.
Alexandra Bracken
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.
Alexandra Bracken
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?
Alexandra Bracken
But there was another, secret Ruby. This one was as thin as a wisp of air, and had struggled for so long just to be. This was the one that Liam carried with him, without knowing. The one that would ride in his back pocket, whisper words of encouragement, tell him he was born to chase the light.
Alexandra Bracken
I used to dream about turning back time, about reclaiming the things I'd lost and the person I used to be.
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
You get a good review, and it’s like crack. You need another hit. And another. And another. I know authors are like Tinkerbell and generally need applause to survive, but it’s a slippery slope.
Alexandra Bracken
I can't do this anymore, I cried, Why won't you just leave me alone? Because you would never leave me.
Alexandra Bracken
We'll just have to try to make better mistakes tomorrow.
Alexandra Bracken
He's just like a stallion. Wild and kicking on the outside, but a heart soft as satin on the inside. Just waiting for the right girl to break him in.
Alexandra Bracken
I can't make it fade.
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
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
I hugged him without any kind of fear or self-consciousness, fiercely, with a rush of emotion that almost brought tears to my eyes. I could kiss you! Chubs cried. Please don't! I gasp out, feeling his arms tighten around my ribs to the point of cracking them.
Alexandra Bracken
But part of surviving is being able to move on.
Alexandra Bracken
