More quotes by Kami Garcia
There was a choice to be made, and Lena hadn't made it. The songs never lied. At least, they hadn't yet.
Kami Garcia
Even when I didn't know anything else about where I was or what I was supposed to be doing. You were my Wayward, even then. Everything always brought me back to you. Everything.
Kami Garcia
It almost felt like she was sucking it all out of me, like she sucked on that sticky red lollipop, the one she kept licking as she drove.
Kami Garcia
My life had taken a stranger turn than I could've ever imagined. What was I doing on this path? Where was I headed really? Who was I to take on a battle between powers I didn't understand— armed with a runaway cat, a uniquely bad drummer, a pair of garden shears, and an Ovaltine-drinking teen Galileo? To save a girl who didn't want to be saved?
Kami Garcia
And have her back by midnight. Is that some powerful Caster hour? No. It's her curfew.
Kami Garcia
I only assumed those dresses were costumes, based on the garish nature of the plumage.
Kami Garcia
They shouldn't call death passing on. They should call it leveling up. Because the game only got harder once I lost. And I was more than a little worried it had only just begun.
Kami Garcia
She leaned into my shoulder. Maybe you don't have to be a Caster to have power. I pushed her hair behind her ear. Maybe you just have to fall for one.
Kami Garcia
Just as I lay back, she sat up. I sat up, and she flopped back down. Awkward. That was my every move when it came to her. Now we were both lying down, staring up at the blue sky.
Kami Garcia
Think of me as the praying mantis of the supernatural world. Aren't those the bugs that bite the heads off the males? Link looked skeptical. Yes. Then they eat them
Kami Garcia
She didn't say a work, and I gave up trying, because you couldn't hear either one of us over the shattering noise of hearts breaking and the looming shadow of the last word, the one we refused to say.
Kami Garcia
You know I love a good family feud and I carry a big stick.
Kami Garcia
And you couldn’t control who you loved, even if you wanted to. That had been Genevieve’s problem with Ethan Carter Wate. It had been Uncle Macon’s problem with Lila, Link’s with Ridley. Probably even Ridley’s with Link. Love was how all these knots started to unravel in the first place.
Kami Garcia
Loneliness is holding the one you love When you know you might never hold him again. Even lost in the darkness My heart will find you The soul die at the hand of the one who carries it. If I could find a place to run away Hidden safely, I would be there today. The darkest daylight finds me.
Kami Garcia
When you look up. Do you see the blue sky of what might be? Or the darkness of what will never be? Do you see me?
Kami Garcia
Don’t think so. We all make our choices, and those choices have consequences.
Kami Garcia
Sunday night, I reread The Catcher in the Rye until I felt tired enough to fall asleep. Only I never got tired enough. And I couldn't read, because reading didn't feel the same.
Kami Garcia
I wanted to find a place to hide from all of it, where the nightmares and the rivers and reality couldn't find me. For me, that place was always inside a book.
Kami Garcia
The mortal world is in a state of Beautiful Chaos and destruction, which will ultimately lead to an exquisite end.
Kami Garcia
