― Amy Harmon , Making Faces
163 " You glow, Lark.” His hand climbed back up again and swept over my unbound hair. I swallowed, suddenly close to tears. Then why does no one see me? “I see you,” he said. "

164 " You can’t have an animal in here, Sheen.”“I’m in a wheelchair, man. You gonna tell me I can’t have my seeing-eye cat with me? Actually, it can be your seeing-eye cat, since you’re blind and all. One of the perks to being a pathetic figure is that I tend to get what I want. "
165 " Time softens memories, sanding down the rough edges of death. "
― Amy Harmon , The Law of Moses (The Law of Moses, #1)
166 " I cannot describeOr explain the speed of lightOr what makes thunder roll across the skyAnd I could never theorize about the universe’s sizeOr explain why some men live and some men dieI can’t even guessI would never professTo know why you are here with meAnd I cannot comprehendHow numbers have no endThe things you understand, I can’t conceiveInfinity + OneIs still infinity.And no matter how I tryI’m bound by gravity.But the things I thought I knewChanged the minute I met you.It seems I’m weightlessAnd I’m endless after all.Weightless and endless.Timeless and restless.So light that I’ll never fall.Weightless and endless.Hopelessly breathless.I guess I knew nothing at all. "
― Amy Harmon , Infinity + One
167 " I think people are like that. When you really look at them, you stop seeing a perfect nose or straigt teeth. You stop seeing the acne scar or the dimple in the chin. Those things start to blur, and suddenly you see them, the colors, the life inside the shell, and beauty takes on a whole new meaning." Fern didn't look away from the sky as she talked, and Ambrose let his eyes linger on her profile. She wasn't talking about him. She was just being thoughtful, pondering life's ironies. She was just being Fern. "
168 " The dead weren't angry or lost. They knew exactly what was up. It was the living that didn't have a clue. "
169 " Georgia’s eyes. Georgia’s hair. Georgia’s smile. Georgia’s personality. Georgia’s kisses. "
170 " How did you know I needed you?Because I needed you. "
171 " Live. Have courage. Be a good friend. Always be grateful. "
172 " No matter how many words we get, there's always going to be the last one, and one word is never enough. "
173 " I've never felt about anybody the way I feel about you," I confessed in a rush. "I can't imagine that what I'm feeling isn't love. But 'I love you' doesn't feel adequate to express it." I plunged headlong into babbling. "I desperately want you to love me. I need you to love me - but I don't want to need it, and I'm afraid that I need it too much. "
― Amy Harmon , A Different Blue
174 " Do you think she knows how much I love her?""You gave her flowers and said you were sorry.""I did.""You kissed her."I could only nod."You painted her pictures and hugged her when she cried.""Yeah," I whispered."You laughed with her too."I nodded again."Those are all the ways to say I love you. "
175 " Ambrose Young! I have waited my whole life for you to want me. If you don’t hold me tight I won’t believe you mean it, and that’s worse than never being held at all. You’d better make me believe you mean it, Ambrose, or you will most definitely break me.”“I don’t want to hurt you, Fern” he whispered hoarsely.“Then don’t,” she whispered back, trusting him. "
176 " Fern didn’t think she was good enough for you then, and you don’t think you’re good enough for her now. And both of you are wrong…and so stupid! Stuuupiiiid!” Bailey dragged the word out in disgust. “I’m ugly! I’m not worthy of love, waaa!” Bailey mimicked them in a whiny, high-pitched voice, and then shook his head as if he was thoroughly disappointed. "
177 " I'm nobody, who are you? Are you nobody too? "
178 " She said 'life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying. "
179 " The beauty of that poem is that everybody can relate, because we all feel like nobody. We all feel like we are on the outside, looking in. We all feel scattered. But I think it's that self-awareness that actually makes us somebody. And you are definitely somebody, Blue. You may not be a work of art, but you are definitely a piece of work. "
180 " It's so much easier to take if God had nothing to do with it. If God has nothing to do with it, then I can accept that it's just life. Nobody is special,but nobody isn't special, either. You know what I mean? I can come to terms with that. But I can't accept that your prayers are answered and theirs aren't. That makes me angry and hopeless–desperate even! And I can't live that way. "
