    John  Green
    “The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.”
    John Green, Paper Towns

    Cassandra Clare
    “She turned back to Jace. "Do you have to be so-," she began, but stopped when she saw his face. It looked stripped down, oddly vulnerable.
    "Unpleasant?" he finishes for her. "Only at days when my adoptive mother tosses me out of the house with instructions never to darken her door again. Usually I'm remarkably good-natured. Try me on any day that doesn't end in y.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “I should have guessed you were Jace's sister," he said. "You both have the same artistic talent."
    Clary paused, her foot on the lowest stair. She was taken aback. "Jace can draw?"
    Nah." When Alec smiled, his eyes lit like blue lamps and Clary could see what Magnus had found so captivating about him. "I was just kidding. He can't draw a straight line.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “The surface of the pond was green with fallen leaves. "How could you have been happy there? I know what you thought, but Valentine was a terrible father. He killed your pets, lied to you, and I know he hit you- don't even try to pretend he didn't."
    A flicker of a smile ghosted across Jace's face. "Only on alternate Thursdays.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “Hugo attacked me." Clary tried not to wince as the astringent liquid stung her wounds.
    Hugo?" Luke blinked.
    Hodge's bird. I think it was his bird, anyway. Maybe it was Valentine's."
    Hugin," Luke said softly. "Hugin and Munin were Valentine's pet birds. Their names mean 'Thought' and 'Memory.'"
    Well they should mean 'Attack' and 'Kill,'" said Clary. "Hugo almost tore my eyes out.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Carrie Ryan
    “It's not about surviving. It should be about love. When you know love...that's what makes this life worth it. When you live with it everyday. Wake up with it, hold on to it during the thunder and after a nightmare. When love is your refuge from the death that surrounds us all and when it fills you so tight that you can't express it.”
    Carrie Ryan

    Cassandra Clare
    “The funny thing about mundies," Jace said, to nobody in particular, "is how obsessed with magic they are for a bunch of people who don't even know what the word means."
    I know what it means," Clary snapped.
    No, you don't, you just think you do. Magic is a dark elemental force, not just a lot of sparkly wands and crystal balls and talking goldfish."
    I never said it was a lot of talking goldfish, you-"
    Jace waved a hand, cutting her off. "Just because you call an electric eel a rubber duck doesn't make it a rubber duck, does it? And God help the poor bastard who decides they want to take a bath with the duckie.”
    Cassandra Clare

    Nicola Yoon
    “I kiss him to get him to stop talking. If he keeps talking I will love him, and I don't want to love him. I really don't. As strategies go, it's not my finest. Kissing is just another way of talking except without the words.”
    Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

    Sarah J. Maas
    “He had killed his way across the world; he had gone to war and back more times than he cared to remember. And despite it all, despite the rage and despair and ice he’d wrapped around his heart, he’d still found Aelin. Every horizon he’d gazed toward, unable and unwilling to rest during those centuries, every mountain and ocean he’d seen and wondered what lay beyond … It had been her. It had been Aelin, the silent call of the mating bond driving him, even when he could not feel it. They’d walked this dark path together back to the light. He would not let the road end here.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

    Gayle Forman
    “I do have a point to all this,” she continues. “There are like twenty people in that waiting room right now. Some of them are related to you. Some of them are not. But we’re all your family.” She stops now. Leans over me so that the wisps of her hair tickle my face. She kisses me on the forehead. “You still have a family,” she whispers.”
    Gayle Forman, If I Stay

    Maggie Stiefvater
    “As I pulled aside the linen curtain to the back room, I heard the front door open again. If it was Christina returning to make a second effort at my leggings, I was going to be forced to get loud, and I didn't like getting loud.

    But it wasn't Christina I heard at the front of the store.

    Instead, a very familiar voice said, "No, no, I'm looking for something very particular. Oh, wait, I just saw it."

    I turned around.

    Cole St. Clair smiled lazily at me.

    I gave so many damns at once that it actually hurt.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Sinner
