2 " He stops pacing. 'I know, Miranda, I did it because I—' 'Stop! Don't say it. I don't want to hear you say it.' 'I have to say it,' Noah says. 'No, you don't.' If I hear him say the word love, I don't know what I'll do. I still have my gun. Maybe one day I can forgive him, but all chance of that goes out the window if he claims he did it for love. If you love someone, the idea is respect them enough to trust them. Not to take away their freedom. Their life. "
3 " He’d read in a textbook once a quote by the famous Captain Reynolds: I am not a brave man. But bravery, like most things, can be faked. And sometimes, in rare instances, it will lead to the real thing. "

4 " Susan had told him once that bravery was when you wanted to pee your pants, but you kept fighting "
5 " Mason knew what it was like to say things you didn’t mean, to just have them vomit out, and then feel that crushing ache when you realized you could never pull them back. "
6 " I'm sorry I don't remember."He shrugs like it doesn't matter, but it does, and we both know it. "We'll make new memories. "
7 " Peter opens his eyes and they are tearless and fierce, revealing a glimpse of his true self. Pure animalistic strength. There was never any fear for him to hide. "
8 " His pulse races under my palms. "Was there ever. . .between us, was there ever something?" I say.He shakes his head. "Just for me. But you were always Noah's.""I don't want to be."He doesn't say anything. "
9 " You didn't break my nose," he says."Too bad.""No, that's good," he says. "Because I would've broken yours.""You'd hit a girl?""We fight all the time. "

11 " I don't know who I am, but I might be a badass. "
12 " You didn't break my nose,” he says.“Too bad.”“No, that’s good,” he says. “Because I would've broken yours.”“You’d hit a girl?”“We fight all the time. "
13 " That's what people do when they're in love. They make crazy decisions. They do what they think is best, and sometimes it turns out to be a mistake. "
14 " Peter smiles at me, shaking his head. Behind the smile I can see he’s scared as I am. Blood drips onto his lips. “You never did listen to my orders,” he said.I smiled back. “Aren’t you glad you’ll have company? "
15 " Sometimes, if she was afraid, she’d take all her fear and gather it up and turn it into anger. Anger didn’t paralyze the way fear did. It was the opposite of being helpless. But it was dangerous too, because you could end up being angry all the time. "
16 " Why are you so good to me Peter?"My head tilts back against the tree. My eyes are too heavy to keep open. I feel the vague sensation of his hands sliding under me, weightlessness as he lifts me up and settles me against his broad chest.On the edge of sleep, I hear him whisper,"That's for me to know and you to never find out. "
17 " A hard soldier is a strong soldier is a living soldier. "
