1 " What you can't see is always scarier than what you can. Your eyes play tricks on you, filling in the shadows, making shapes. "
― Victoria Schwab , Tunnel of Bones (Cassidy Blake, #2)
2 " You are my best friend. In life. In death. And everything in between. "
3 " It's hard to believe in ghosts, until you see one, and then it's hard not to. "
4 " He seems happier, lighter, after sharing his story. I feel a little heavier after hearing it, but that's okay. That's how friendship works. You learn to share the weight. "
5 " But it's easy not to care what other people think when none of them can see you. "
6 " Language is the most valuable currency. "
7 " Maybe is a rope in a hole, or the key to a door. Maybe is how you find the way out. "
8 " It's important to take care of the past. To revisit it, to study and learn. Understanding the past helps us move through the present and discover the future. "
9 " Calling the Tuileries a garden is like calling Hogwarts a school. "
10 " First comes mischief, then comes menace, then mayhem. The more trouble poltergeists cause, the more powerful they get. "
11 " The Blake family: two parents, a ghost-seeing girl, her dead best friend, and a rather unhappy cat. "
12 " Here, ghosty ghosty,' calls Jacob. "
13 " Thomas Alain Laurent has officially made his way to mayhem. "
14 " Here, dear daughter,' says Mom, offering me the crêpe. 'Educate yourself. "
15 " Thomas isn't my problem anymore. He's everyone's. "
16 " Do you want to hear a story?” she says, her voice soft and sweet and creepy. And just like that, we all shuffle closer. Mom has always had that power over people, always been the kind of storyteller who makes her listeners lean in. "
17 " Belief is not a blanket, Cassidy. It doesn’t cover everything. Forgive me. There’s a big difference between believing in the supernatural in the general sense and believing the twelve-year-old girl you’re escorting across Paris is a ghost hunter with a dead sidekick. "
18 " Maybe is a match in the dark. "
19 " I’ve only ever known Jacob the Ghost. What that really means is that I’ve only known Jacob from the point when he entered my story. I didn’t think so much about the fact that he had a story of his own. A whole life, short as it was, before we got tangled up, before he became my best friend. "
20 " He seems happier, lighter, after sharing his story. I feel a little heavier after hearing it, but that’s okay. That’s how friendship works. You learn to share the weight. "
