Lauren Oliver
The mark of the procedure. A real one. Lu is cured.
Lauren Oliver
Sometimes I'm afraid to go to sleep because of what I'm leaving behind.
Lauren Oliver
You came form different starts and you'll come to different ends.
Lauren Oliver
Lies are just stories, and stories are all that matter. We all tell stories. Some are more truthful than others, maybe, but in the end the only thing that counts is what you can make people believe.
Lauren Oliver
Something must die so that others can live.
Lauren Oliver
The Wilds aren't safe anymore.
Lauren Oliver
And you can't love, not fully, unless you are loved in return.
Lauren Oliver
The salt blowing off the sea makes the air feel textured and heavy.
