Fallen (Lauren Kate) quotes #1

"You know everyone loves to hate a happy pair of lovebirds."

"And while Luce dreamed below of the most glorious wings unfurling-the likes of which she'd never seen before-two angels in the rafters shook hands."

"She buried her face in his shoulder. And while the truth still scared her, being in his arms made her feel like the sea finding its shore, like a traveler returning after a long, hard, distant trip-- finally returning home."

"What if the one you were meant to be with, could never be yours?"

"I have to go," he said at last, getting to his feet. "I shouldn't even be here, but I cannot keep my self away from you. I worry about you in every waking moment. I love you, Luce. So much it hurts.

"The tender pressure of his lips soothed her, like a warm drink in the dead of the winter, when every part of her felt so cold."

"Trust is a careless pursuit at best. At worst, it's a good way to get yourself killed."

"I'll always choose you." Yes that was the word. "Every single lifetime, I'll choose you. Just as you have always chosen me. Forever."

"The only way to survive eternity is to be able to appreciate each moment."

"Well, as much as I love kicking asses and taking names, it's way past curfew for you three"- Arriane"

"Get to part B, Daniel. Think fast. Patience is a virtue, and you know how Cam feels about those." - Arriane"

"You don't really know either of us," Cam said, standing and stepping away, "but you're prepared to choose right now, huh?"

"The good news is" --he paused, carefully choosing his words-- "I kissed you, and you're still here." ♥

"I get to live forever," he repeated. Luce was still lost, but he kept talking, a stream of words pouring out of his mouth. "I get to live, and to watch babies being born, and grow up, and fall in love. I watch them have babies of their own and grow old. I watch them die. I am condemned, Luce, to watch it all over again and again. Everyone but you." His eyes were glassy. His voice dropped to a whisper. "You don't get to fall in love--" "But...," she whispered back. "I've...fallen in love."

"Love never dies."

"I do all of these things," Daniel said, leaning into her so that their foreheads touched, "because you're my love, Lucinda. For me, you're all there is."

"What if the person you were meant to be with could never be yours?"

"I've already had to wait so long." "How long?" Luce asked. "Not so long that I've forgotten that you're worth everything. Every sacrifice. Every pain."

"If you two were going to be that obvious about it, why didn't you guys come down in your Team Daniel and Team Miles T-shirts?" "We should order those," Shelby said. "Mine's in the laundry," Arriane said.

"Fight for the only thing she knew was good enough, noble enough, powerful enough to be worth risking everything... Love."
