22 " The tears and the pain all but blinding her, she forced open her eyes one more time, to a curtain of dark hair; to a waterfall of black ink spilling across the last page of her life. No. I’m not nothing. I was loved. "
23 " Before she could stop her hands, they reached for him, as though they existed for no other reason than to touch him. Her fingers brushed across his jaw with a feather's caress before pulling away, and he closed his eyes on a soft inhale. Like the poison toying with its remedy, Shahrzad's hands ignored her and took control, a mere taste of his skin not nearly enough. Never enough. "
24 " She was drowning in sandalwood and sunlight. Time ceased to be more than a notion. Her lips were hers one moment. And then they were his. The taste of him on her tongue was like sun-warmed honey. Like cool water sliding down her parched throat. Like the promise of all her tomorrows in a single sigh. When she wound her fingers in his hair to draw her body against his, he stilled for breath, and she knew, as he knew, that they were lost. Lost forever. In this kiss. This kiss that would change everything. "

25 " I've never been angry to have been born a woman. There have been times I've been angry at how the world treats us, but I see being a woman as a challenge I must fight. Like being born under a stormy sky. Some people are lucky enough to be born on a bright summer's day. Maybe we were born under clouds. No wind. No rain. Just a mountain of clouds we must climb each morning so that we may see the sun. "

29 " Perhaps true weakness is weakness of the spirit "

31 " Khalid would break every bone in your body for what you've done. "
32 " You deserve someone who will feel you at her side without needing to see you. And I've only felt that way about one boy. "
33 " This dangerous girl. This captivating beauty.This destroyer of worlds and creator of wonder. "
34 " When I was a boy, my mother would tell me that one of the best things in life is the knowledge that our story isn't over yet. Our story may have come to a close, but your story is still yet to be told. Make it a story worthy of you "
35 " I love you, she said. Khalid lifted his head to hers. She placed a hand against his cheek. Beyond words. "
36 " A boy who'd thrived in the shadows.Now he had to live in the light.To live . . . fiercely.To fight for every breath. "
37 " I believe the stars align so souls can find one another. Whether they are meant to be souls in love or souls in life remains to be seen. "
