Claudia Gray QUOTES

1 " I meant it when I said I didn’t believe in love at first sight. It takes time to really, truly fall for someone. Yet I believe in a moment. A moment when you glimpse the truth within someone, and they glimpse the truth within you. In that moment, you don’t belong to yourself any longer, not completely. Part of you belongs to him; part of him belongs to you. After that, you can’t take it back, no matter how much you want to, no matter how hard you try. "

― Claudia Gray , A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird, #1)

3 " Huging my pillow to my chest, I told myself, At least soon you won't have so much time to miss him. Soon school will start again, and then you'll be busier.
Wait. Am I reduced to HOPING for school to start?
Somehow, I have discovered a whole new level of pathetic. "

― Claudia Gray , A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird, #1)

6 " If you loved someone, you couldn’t let lies come between you. No matter what happened—even if you’d already lost each other forever—you owed each other the truth. "

― Claudia Gray , Evernight (Evernight, #1)

7 " People get stupid when they're in love; people want what they can't have; and the years between ages twelve and eighteen always, always suck. "

― Claudia Gray , Evernight (Evernight, #1)

8 " But do you want this? It's not much of a life.
Don't you see? It's the first life I've had in four hundred years. With you--in the only way that matters--I'm alive again. "

― Claudia Gray , Balthazar (Evernight, #5)

12 " I see... the way you're always searching. How much you hate anything fake or phony. How you're older than your years, but still... playful, like a little girl. How you're always looking into people, or wondering what they see when they look back at you. Your eyes. It's all in the eyes. "

― Claudia Gray , A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird, #1)

17 " The library would've cheered me up, most days. I loved the heavy oaken tables, the high walls stacked with books to the ceiling, the musty smell of old pages and the heavy brass fixtures that had gone dark with age and wear. "

― Claudia Gray , Afterlife (Evernight, #4)

18 " It saddens me to see girls proudly declaring they’re not like other girls – especially when it’s 41,000 girls saying it in a chorus, never recognizing the contradiction. It’s taking a form of contempt for women – even a hatred for women – and internalizing it by saying, Yes, those girls are awful, but I’m special, I’m not like that, instead of stepping back and saying, This is a lie.

The real meaning of “I’m not like the other girls” is, I think, “I’m not the media’s image of what girls should be.” Well, very, very few of us are. Pop culture wants to tell us that we’re all shallow, backstabbing, appearance-obsessed shopaholics without a thought in our heads beyond cute boys and cuter handbags. It’s a lie – a flat-out lie – and we need to recognize it and say so instead of accepting that judgment as true for other girls, but not for you. "
