Shadowland (The Mediator, #1) QUOTES

1 " And try to remember what we discussed, Susannah. A mediator is someone who helps others resolve conflicts. Not someone who, er, kicks them in the face. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

2 " I'm sorry, Heather, but everything was not just fine before I got here. You know how I know that? Because you're dead. Okay? You are dead. Dead people don't have lockers, or best friends, or boyfriends. You know why? Because they're dead.-Suze Simon "

3 " That hurt querida, that really hurt "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

5 " How is it that I'd nearly been smothered to death, and yet I could sit there and notice things like my stepbrother's abdominal muscles a few minutes later? "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

6 " [...] even in the cruelest human being there can exist a flower of good. Maybe just the tiniest blossom, in need of water and sunlight, but a flower just the same. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

7 " I won’t tell you how I managed to break in, since I don’t want the authorities figuring out, but let’s just say that if you’re going to make a gate, make sure it reaches all the way to the ground. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

8 " I'll tell you what kind of girl I'm not," I said crankily. "I am not the kind of girl who's looking to share her room with a member of the opposite sex. Understand me? So either you move out, or I force you out. It's entirely up to you. I'll give you some time to think about it. But when I get back here, Jesse, I want you gone. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

9 " Sister Ernestine said something very nasty about how maybe Miss Simon didn’t realize how unpleasant detention at the Mission Academy could be. I assured Sister Ernestine that if she was threatening corporal punishment, I would tell my mother, who was a local news anchor-woman and would be over here with a TV camera so fast, nobody would have time to say so much as a single Hail Mary. Sister Ernestine was pretty quiet after that. "

10 " Of course, I didn't know how I felt about my first kiss coming from one of the undead, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, and let me tell you something, Jesse was way cuter than any live guy I'd met lately. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

11 " My intention, of course, had been to wake up early and call Father Dominic to warn him about Heather. But intentions are only as good as the people who hold them, and I guess I must be worthless because I didn't wake up until my mother shook me awake, and by then it was 7:30, and my ride was leaving without me. "

12 " You gazed into my eyes, what could I do but linger? I ran my hand through your hair, and a cootie bit my finger. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

13 " I know it's probably wrong to fantasize about giving a nun a karate chop in the neck, but I couldn't help it. She was making me mad. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

14 " When I get out of this hospital, you and I are going to sit down and have a very long chat, Susannah, about proper mediation techniques. I don't know about this habit of yours of just walking up and punching the poor souls in the face. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

15 " I’m not resentful of the fact that she decided to marry a guy who lives three thousand miles away, forcing me to leave school in the middle of my sophomore year; abandon the best—and pretty much only—friend I’ve had since kindergarten; leave the city I’ve been living in for all of my sixteen years. Oh, no. I’m not a bit resentful. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

16 " Yeah,” Bryce said, “but I mean, I drove her to it, you know? That’s the thing. If I just hadn’t broken up with her—” “You have a pretty high opinion of yourself, don’t you?” He looked taken aback. “What?” “Well, your assumption that she killed herself because you broke up with her. I don’t think that’s why she killed herself at all. She killed herself because she was sick. You had nothing to do with making her that way. Your breaking up with her may have acted as a sort of catalyst for her final breakdown, but it could just have easily been some other crisis in her life—her parents getting divorced, her not making the cheerleader squad, her cat dying. Anything. So try not to be so hard on yourself. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

17 " There really was no advantage, that I could see, in having brothers: they chewed with their mouths open, and ate every single Poppin' Fresh roll before I'd even had one. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

18 " When in doubt, I always say, wear black. You can never go wrong with black. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

19 " I wasn't about to admit to him that I'd never had a boyfriend. You just don't go around saying things like that to totally hot guys, even if they're dead. "

― Meg Cabot , Shadowland (The Mediator, #1)

20 " We'd be the Joystick Order. Out motto would be High Score for One, Pizza for All. "
