More quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
I wish, Jared began, and stopped, breathing in. Do you remember how you used to believe I wasn't real? Sometimes I wish that was true. If I was just a thought in the back of your mind, then I'd be with you, and I'd be better.
Sarah Rees Brennan
Good practice, everyone, Rusty said at last. Light on the actual learning, heavy on the emotional catharsis, and thanks to Jared I think I need a rabies shot, but them's the breaks.
Sarah Rees Brennan
I don't mean to cast a dark shadow on all your hopes and dreams, except of course I do, because that is who I am. I'm a dream ruiner.
Sarah Rees Brennan
Oh my gosh,Nick. You're not wearing a shirt! This must be one of those exciting days ending in Y.

She clenched her fist in his T-shirt, put her other arm around those too-broad, too-real shoulders. When he tried to pull away, she held on tight. Kami felt the surrender in his mind a moment before he laid his face in the curve of her neck. The whole world was so real it hurt. Kami whispered into Jared's hair, I'm always on your side.
Sarah Rees Brennan
Nick looked vaguely homicidal, but that was sort of his default expression.
Sarah Rees Brennan

Nick is driving us, Jamie informed him. Nick has a car. Nick has TWO cars. Ha!
Sarah Rees Brennan
I don't think he likes girls, I said. Or boys. Look at the horror on his face. He doesn't look like a people person.
Sarah Rees Brennan
I can try to wheedle information out of people, Holly offered. For which I'll need a lower-cut top.
Sarah Rees Brennan
Turns out he does run, Nick drawled. Given an incentive. And he wouldn't be so out of breath if he hadn't kept shrieking. That was not a shriek, Jamie said with dignity. It was a husky masculine cry of terror.
Sarah Rees Brennan
And about that, he continued. Now that Kami and I have met, she likes me better than you. So you can leave.

Forest deep, silent bells There's a secret no one tells Valley quiet, water still Lynburns watching on the hill Apples red, corn gold Almost everyone grows old
Sarah Rees Brennan
I'm told I have the body of a god. A Greek god, or one of those gods with the horse heads or elephant's legs coming out of their chests? Alan asked. Next time someone tells you that, ask them to specify.
Sarah Rees Brennan
It is always about you for me.
Sarah Rees Brennan
I want to burn the world because Alan is gone, he said. I want to destroy everything I see. But you mean something to me. I will not destroy the world, because it has you in it.
Sarah Rees Brennan
I don't really get scared. Want to know what else i don't feel? PITY
Sarah Rees Brennan
Sin met Mae and Alan coming into the flat. Mae frowned. Is it no-shirts festival day? Every day with Nick is no-shirts festival day, Alan said absently, but he was frowning too.
Sarah Rees Brennan
She hesitated, then reached out to Jared in her mind, and uncertainty washed away in the wave of reassurance she got back.
Sarah Rees Brennan
