I could hear you, talking to the daffodils and tulips, whispering to the fairies that lived inside their petals. Each separate flower had a different family inside it.

More quotes by Lucy Christopher
I was surprised at her gentleness, her willingness to give in.
Lucy Christopher
If there'd been an astronaut on the moon right then, I'm sure I could have seen him. Perhaps he could have looked down and seen me too... the only one who could.
Lucy Christopher
How would she find her herd? How would she find you?
Lucy Christopher
I mean, that star over there is blinking at me madly now, but for how long? An hour or two, or for the next million years? And how long will we sit here like this? Just another moment, or the rest of our lives? You know which one I'd prefer.
Lucy Christopher
Far, far away something made a single ghostly howl, like a banshee in the dark.
Lucy Christopher
But what else can I do, other than to plead with you like this? Other than to write down my story, our story, to show you that what you've done . . . to make you realize that what you did wasn't fair, wasn't right.
Lucy Christopher
And it's hard to hate someone once you understand them.
Lucy Christopher
It happened like this. I was stolen from an airport. Taken from everything I knew, everything I was used to. Taken to sand and heat, dirt and danger. And he expected me to love him. This is my story. A letter from nowhere.
Lucy Christopher
I didn’t want the person standing there, beside the bed, to have the same face I’d found so attractive at the airport. But you were there all right: the blue eyes, blondish hair, and tiny scar. Only you didn’t look beautiful this time. Just evil.
Lucy Christopher
It was like I’d stepped out into an afterlife. Only there were no angels.
Lucy Christopher
I chased money, pretended to be someone else to get it. It got easier the longer I did it... but that's the trap, see? When the deadness gets easier, you know you're sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself.
Lucy Christopher
It was so big, that view. I’ll never remember it properly. How can anyone remember something that big? I don’t think people’s brains are designed for memories like that. They’re designed for things like phone numbers, or the color of someone’s hair. Not hugeness.
Lucy Christopher
You're right, he's a killer, you said. A rooster with some serious issues.
Lucy Christopher
The land wants you here. I want you here, you called. Don't you care about that at all?
Lucy Christopher
There is no need to put your heart in a bottle, then you will die. - Ty from Stolen
Lucy Christopher
The sand stretched out gray and ghostlike and illuminated, a column of light leading forward. It was like something a dead person would see, a tunnel leading toward heaven.
Lucy Christopher
I want you to see that the person I glimpsed running beside the camel, running to save my life, is the person you can choose to be.
Lucy Christopher
I thought you wanted to catch a camel, you tried again. No. I want to. Well, you go then. You laughed. I want your beautiful face where I can see it
Lucy Christopher
I love you, you said, simple as anything.
Lucy Christopher
Doesn't that hurt? I said. Yep. How do you keep them in there? I'm stubborn. You grinned. Stubborn as a waddywood. And anyway, pain means it's healing. Not always.
