    Richelle Mead
    “Stop fighting me!" he said, trying to pull on the arm he held.

    He was in a precarious position himself, straddling the rail as he tried to lean over far enough to get me and actually hold onto me.

    “Let go of me!” I yelled back.

    But he was too strong and managed to haul most of me over the rail, enough so that I wasn’t in total danger of falling again.

    See, here’s the thing. In that moment before I let go, I really had been contemplating my death. I’d come to terms with it and accepted it. I also, however, had known Dimitri might do something exactly like this. He was just that fast and that good. That was why I was holding my stake in the hand that was dangling free.

    I looked him in the eye. "I will always love you."

    Then I plunged the stake into his chest.

    It wasn’t as precise a blow as I would have liked, not with the skilled way he was dodging. I struggled to get the stake in deep enough to his heart, unsure if I could do it from this angle. Then, his struggles stopped. His eyes stared at me, stunned, and his lips parted, almost into a smile, albeit a grisly and pained one.

    "That’s what I was supposed to say. . .” he gasped out.

    Those were his last words.”
    Richelle Mead, Blood Promise

    Richelle Mead
    “You know what would help?" I asked, not meeting his eyes.

    "Hmm?"

    "If you turned off this crap music and put on something that came out after the Berlin Wall went down."

    Dimitri laughted. "Your worst class is history, yet somehow, you know everything about Eastern Europe."

    "Hey, gotta have material for my jokes, Comrade." Still smiling, he turned the radio dail. To a country station.

    "Hey! This isn't what I had in mind," I exclaimed. I could tell he was on the verge of laughing again.

    "Pick. It's one or the other."

    I sighed. "Go back to the 1980s stuff."

    He flipped the dail, and I crossed my arms over my chest as some vaguely European-sounding band sang about how video had killed the radio star. I wished someone would kill this radio.”
    Richelle Mead, Frostbite

    “Wow." I hadn't thought Dimitri could be any cooler, but I was wrong. "You beat up your dad. I mean, that's really horrible...what happened. But, wow. You really are a god."
    He blinked. "What?"
    "Uh, nothing.”

    “I don't believe in failure, because simply by saying you've failed, you've admitted you attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fail in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them.”
    Sarah Dessen, Keeping the Moon

    “But I'd long ago learned not to be picky in farewells. They weren't guaranteed or promised.

    Suzanne Collins
    “Peeta, you said at the interview you’d had a crush on me forever. When did forever start?

    Oh, let’s see. I guess the first day of school. We were five. You had on a red plaid dress and your hair...it was in two braids instead of one. My father pointed you out when we were waiting to line up."

    Your father? Why?"

    He said, ‘See that little girl? I wanted to marry her mother, but she ran off with a coal miner.'"

    What? You’re making that up!"

    No, true story. And I said, 'A coal miner? Why did she want a coal miner if she could’ve had you?' And he said, 'Because when he sings...even the birds stop to listen.”
    Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

    “If you're texting Magnus to say 'I think u r kewl,' I'm going to kill you."
    "Who's Magnus?" Max inquired.
    "He's a warlock," said Alec.
    "A sexy, sexy warlock," Isabelle told Max, ignoring Alec's look of total fury.
    "But warlocks are bad," protested Max, looking baffled.
    "Exactly," said Isabelle.”
