“The girl he loved is gone, and he is still here... He's glad to have it [the 6 notebooks filled with Addie's story, her life], because the truth is he is already fogetting. When you are the only one holding on to a memory, a girl, It's hard to keep it from floating away.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“if this is love, this gentle thing. If it is meant to be this soft, this kind. The difference between heat, and warmth. Passion, and contentment.”

“You want an ending," she says. "Then take my life when I am done with it. You can have my soul when I don't want it anymore."

The shadow tips his head, suddenly intrigued.

A smile - just like the smile in her drawings, askance, and full of secrets - crosses his mouth. And then he pulls her to him. A lover's embrace. he is smoke and skin, air and bone, and when his mouth presses against hers, the first thing she tastes is the turning of the seasons, the moment when dusk gives way to night. And then his kiss deepens. His teeth skim her bottom lip, and there is pain in the pleasure, followed by the copper taste of blood on her tongue.”

“It feels as if the doors of her world have been
thrown wide, so many rooms added to a house she thought she knew.”
