101 " I love how he sometimes gets embarrassed by the mushy stuff between us and then his voice gets all gruff and he tickles me or kisses me to shut us both up. Boy, do we ever kiss. We make out like champions. "
― Cynthia Hand
102 " Tuck," I breathe, and then he kisses me.I've been kissed before. But nothing like this. He kisses me with surprising tenderness, for all of his gusty talk. Still cupping my face, he gently brushes his lips against mine, slowly, like he's memorizing what I feel like. My eyes close. My head swims with his smell, grass and sunshine and musky cologne. He kisses me again, a litte more firmly, and then he pulls back to look down into my face. "
103 " I'm sorry," I choke out.He's quiet. Tears drip off my chin. He lets out a slow, shaky breath."Don't cry," he says. "That's not fair."I laugh and sob at the same time."It's okay," he whispers. His fingers brush at the tears on my cheeks. "Don't cry."Then he puts his arms around me, wings and all. I curl my arms around his neck and bury my face in his chest and breathe in the smell of the river on him. Somewhere in the woods a crow caws. A blackbird answers. And then we're kissing and everything goes away but Tucker. "
104 " He loves me. Inside his head, his every thought and reaction was born of love, love inside and out, crazy, irrational (and sure, a bit lustful) love. He loves me, and that's also what terrified him when he saw me all lit up like a Christmas tree. He doesn't know what I am, but he loves me. "
105 " I don't know what to say. This summer hasn't turned out at all the way I'd planned. I'm not supposed to be standing in the middle of a barn with a blue-eyed cowboy who's looking at me like he's about to kiss me. I shouldn't be wanting him to kiss me. "
106 " He's not meeting my eyes anymore. "We're young," he says. "We've got lots of time to fall in love. "

107 " I didn't ever think you were a freak. I think...I thought you were magic or something. I thought that you were too perfect to be real. "
108 " The person who possesses the creative gift owns something of which she is not always the master - something that at times strangely wills and works for itself. "

109 " Is it okay to kiss you?” he asks.“What?”“I won’t get struck by lightning? "
110 " You're wrong," Lord Dudley said. "You've always been a fool.""The fool thinks he is wise," G retorted. "But the wise man knows himself to be a fool. "

111 " If idiots could fly, this place would be an airport. "
112 " Böylece aşıktım işte. O çılgınca, yemeyi unutturan, sersem gibi ortalıkta dolaştıran, bütün gece telefonda konuşturan, her sabah onu görmek için yataktan fırlamaya yol açan türden aşk. Yaz fırtına gibi geçerken, her gün onu sevdiğim başka bir yanını keşfediyordum. "
113 " Sometimes it had taken her hours or days to recover from a particularly emotional book, but there'd always been another to take her mind off the anguish. "
114 " Never in any Jane Austen novel did the love interest pretend to be a fortune-teller," Helen said, "Why would someone do that? "
115 " This is isn't going to become one of those creepy situations where you show up at all hours of the night to watch me sleep, is it?" he asks playfully. "

117 " His name is Christian,” he calls back. “Can you believe that? We came all this wayso Clara could save a guy named Christian.”“I’m aware of the irony. "
118 " Grace Poole shrugged. "If you're sure. I can whip something up in the cauldron.""Do not eat anything she whips up in a cauldron," Helen whispered. "
119 " Very funny, my lady. And that reminds me"---he pointed a finger at her---"no horse jokes."He was making it too easy. "Ah, my lord, why the long face?""That's it! "
120 " We're going to live tomorrow, and for long after. We'll have years and years to fight about everything you want to fight about." He made it sound like it was a desirable thing. "I hope so," Jane said. "I've been making a list." "I don't doubt it. What shall we fight about first? "
