1 " Having to do something is an obligation, a duty, a will that is not your own. Wanting to do something is a choice that requires heart, desire, a will that is yours. Those two concepts are a universe apart. I wanted to, Abby "
― Ashlan Thomas , To Fall (The To Fall Trilogy, #1)
2 " A hand was on my chest, under my clothing. The hand was hot, large, and definitely touching more than anyone without a medical degree had ever touched. "
3 " A chill swept over me. “I feel like you are saying good-bye for good.” His eyes bore into mine with a surprising intensity. “No, I’ll never say that word to you. "
4 " I was actually drowning in a pool full of people and I knew how to swim. I wondered how long it would take someone to realize there was a dead body in the pool. Would I sink or bounce on the surface like a floating chlorinator? "
5 " I looked back to see who would be Xander’s partner. My mouth gaped open. Danielle Quincy. Really? Of all the people… Obviously, she would go for Xander. Anyone in their right mind would go for Xander. Clearly, I was all up in my left mind. "
6 " I like me for you. "
7 " People will only notice how exceptionally awesome I am. "
8 " You’re the only reason I exist. "
9 " Okay, I’ll admit, I want to kiss you like that again, every single day, every moment I’m with you. "
10 " I hate that I have to say this, but you’re too innocent, too trusting that the good will win out the evil in people. It’s what I love about you and never wish for that to change. But evil exists, Abby, and people do bad things. You can believe in humanity, but trusting them is something different. Trust yourself and what your heart tells you. "
11 " What can I say, I’m just that incredible. "
12 " I know you think your heart is weak, but it’s one of the strongest and purest I know. "
13 " Her gaze collided with mine and it was as though she saw through me, my secrets, what I was. The pull between us was tangible, like gravity on Earth, and I knew this wasn’t chance. Abigail belonged to me and I to her. It was a knowledge in my soul that had been there and I foolishly had denied myself. "
14 " Every single night you’re not in my bed is torture. "
15 " My prince was clueless as to why I had returned, believing I was merely on Earth to rip the innocence away from those that held it as precious as air. He would be forced to acknowledge me as an equal, sitting next to me, instead of looking down upon his lowly subject. Finally, I would have my day by the Dark King’s side. I would prove to the High Court that a lord was capable of feats that brought Heaven to its knees. "
16 " When you can talk without losing a lung, I’ll let you go chase after hotties in your backless hospital gown. I’m sure the entire third floor would love to see yours and Victoria’s secrets. "
17 " Mel, people don’t say duds anymore.' 'And almost twenty-year-olds don’t have baby pink rooms with Cinderella furniture,' she snapped. "
18 " Caleb muttered, “Come on, Hottie Number Two.”I rolled my eyes and grunted in return. He would never let this one go. Calista asked, “How much did she have to drink before you were dubbed Number One?”'She was dead sober when she numbered us.' Caleb stopped and stared at her. 'Did Alexander tell you that? She didn’t start drinking until after. "

20 " I tried to cover myself and it turned into an epic fail. I needed much thicker arms to complete the job. These weren’t let-your-boyfriend’s-brother-see-you-pajamas. "
