believe hero past
by now you've already formed your own impression. you believe that an act committed a lifetime ago defines a man, or you believe that a person's past has nothing to do with his future. you think i am either a hero, or a monster. maybe knowning more about circumstances will make you think differently about me, but it won't change what happened twenty-eight years ago.
fall mean night
I learned a lot that night. For example, that part of being the magician's assistant means coming face-to-face with illusion. That invisibility is really just knotting your body in a certain way and letting the black curtain fall over you. That people don't vanish into thin air; that when you can't find someone, it's because you've been misdirected to look elsewhere.
mistake long-ago starting-over
if i have gained anything over these months, it is the knowledge there is no starting over - only living with the mistakes you've made. but then, caleb taught me long ago you can't build anything without some sort of foundation. maybe we learn to live our lives by understanding, firsthand, how not to live them.
too-late alex care
Like Connor, Alex protected me -and he was the only person I let close enough to do it. Like Connor, Alex could finish my sentences before I did. But unlike Connor, for whom I had ultimately come too late, I was just in time to take care of Alex.
nice littles protected
It was nice not having to be the one in control, for a little while. It was nice to be the one who was protected, instead of the one who'd been protecting eveyone else.
believe laughing tilt
You fell in love with someone because of the tilt of his smile, or because he could make you laugh, or in this case, because he made you believe that you were the only one who could save him.
feet wind compass
You can widen the feet of a compass, but they are still attached at the top; you can spin them away from each other, but you always wind up where you started.
people choices goes-on
...when people we love make choices, we don't always understand them. But we can go on loving them, just the same. It isn't a matter of comprehension. It's forgiveness.
missing lines might
There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found.
true-love thinking three
Three months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved someone, you’d let them go. But now I look at you, and I dreamed about Maggie, and I see that I’ve been wrong. If you really love someone, Allie, I think you have to take them back.
fire forever my-sisters-keeper
A fire can't burn forever. Eventually, it consumes itself.
thinking ghost said
I think...she said finally, "that all of us have got our ghosts.
struggle upside-down whole-life
All it takes is a second and your whole life can get turned upside down.
when-you-love-someone fierce wanted
She wanted him to tell her that when you love someone so hard and so fierce, it was all right to do things that you knew were wrong.
