“I just sat there, staring out towards the darkness of the ocean and the starlight flashing off the crests of the waves and knew that we were all part of this bigger whole. That somehow I mattered in the course of things and a part of me would always have left its mark on this world.”

“I stare at the way the tracks of her tears break across her jaw and along her neck, at how it looks like her face, once shattered, has been carefully put back together. And I wonder if that’s what my scars really are: proof that I’ve put myself back together again.”
― Carrie Ryan, The Dark and Hollow Places

“I gently touch the stars, wondering if they hold my fate or whether holding them, as I do now, allows me to create my own.”
― Katherine Marsh, Jepp, Who Defied the Stars

“I was told that there was nothing for me but to come here. But, as with life itself, it may not be our choice to come, but it is our choice to leave.”
― Katherine Marsh, Jepp, Who Defied the Stars
