― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Creatures

“I was losing her, she wouldn’t listen to me, and I was about to fail my third quiz of the semester. Great.
By the way, can you simplify 7x – 2(4x – 6)?

What does that have to do with anything?
Nothing. But I’m failing this quiz.
She sighed.
A Caster girlfriend had some perks.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Creatures

“I said it, just like that. No stupid jokes, no changing the subject. For once, I wasn't embarrassed, because it was the truth. I had fallen. I think I had always been falling. And she might as well know, if she didn't already, because there was no going back now. Not for me.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Creatures

“Hey, Ethan."
"Yeah?"
"Remember the Twinkie on the bus? The one I gave you in second grade, the day we met?"

“You can read minds, and you didn't tell me?” Link stared at me like he just found out I was the Silver Surfer. He rubbed his head nervously. “Hey, man, all that stuff about Lena? I was yankin’ your chain.” He looked away. “Are you doin’ it now? You're doin’ it, aren't you? Dude, get out of my head.” He backed away from me and into the bookshelf.

“I can't read your mind, you idiot.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Darkness

“Flying or falling, it's up to us.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Redemption

“It wasn't about how she looked, which was pretty, even though she was always wearing the wrong clothes and those beat-up sneakers. It wasn't about what she said in class--usually something no one else would've thought of, and if they had, something they wouldn't have dared to say. It wasn't that she was different from all the other girls at Jackson. That was obvious.
It was that she made me realize how much I was just like the rest of them, even if I wanted to pretend I wasn't.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Creatures

not
the

one

“There is a point. I don't know what it is, but everything I've had, and everything I've lost, and everything I felt-it meant something.
Maybe there isn't a meaning to life. Maybe there's only a meaning to living.
That's what I've learned. That's what I'm going to be doing from now on.
Living.
And loving, as sappy as it sounds”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Redemption

“I'm not falling anymore. That's what L says, and she's right.
I guess you could say I'm flying. We both are.
And I'm pretty sure somewhere up there in the real blue sky and carpenter bee greatness, Amma's flying, too.
We all are, depending on how you look at it. Flying or falling, it's up to us.
Because the sky isn't really made of blue paint, and there aren't just two kinds of people in this world, the stupid and the stuck. We only think there are. Don't waste your time with either-with anything. It's not worth it.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Redemption

“I stared at the creased map on my wall, the thin green line
connecting all the places I had read about. There they were, all the
cities of my imaginary future, held together with tape and marker and
pins. In six months, a lot had changed. There was no thin green line
that could lead me to my future anymore. Just a girl.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Creatures

“As Amma used to say, the good thing about the truth is it’s true, and there’s no arguing with the truth.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Redemption

“Until then, you can do what everyone else your age does. Listen to music. Watch the television. Just keep your nose away from those books.”
― Kami Garcia

“I couldn't lose her. I wouldn't. Just the thought of never being able to touch her again made me crazy. Crazier than losing all my friends. Crazier than being the least popular guy in school. Crazier than having Amma perpetually angry at me. Losing her was the worst thing I could imagine. Like I was falling, but this time I would definitely hit the ground.”
― Kami Garcia Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures

“I guess the sky in real life isn’t actually perfect. Maybe that’s what makes it so perfect.”

― Margaret Stohl Kami Garcia, Beautiful Darkness

“There is a point. I don't know what is it, but everything I've had, and everything I've lost, and everything I felt--it meant something. Maybe there isn't a meaning to life. Maybe there's only a meaning to living.

That's what I've learned. That's what I'm going to be doing. LIVING.”
― Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl, Beautiful Redemption

“There’s nothing to try, Ethan. It’s over. It’s too late.” She barely whispered, but it felt like she was shouting.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Redemption

“If I fell asleep, those thoughts would twist themselves into rivers of blood as real as the mud in my sheets when I first met Lena. I wanted to find a place to hide from all of it, where the nightmares and rivers and reality couldn't find me. For me, that place was always inside a book.”
― Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl
