1 " That kind of love should've been able to beat sickness. That kind of love should've conquered anything. "
― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Onyx (Lux, #2)
2 " My heart cracked. Daemon never begged. "
3 " I frowned as my fingers throbbed. “Wait a sec. There’s a chance I can’t work with fire and you let me do that?”“How else am I going to figure out your limitations?”“What the hell!” I pulled my hand free, furious. “That’s not cool, Blake. What’s next? Trying to stop a moving vehicle by standing in front of it, but whoops, I can’t do that and now I’m dead? "
4 " I understood books. I did not understand boys—especially alien boys. "
5 " Strange how something good can come from something horrible. "
6 " Memories, even bittersweet ones, are better than nothing. "
7 " There were always choices. I’d made a string of bad ones myself. At least I could admit that. "
8 " Kat didn’t get it when it came to the whole Thanksgiving thing. She didn’t think she belonged or was a part of us. She had no idea that she was beginning to mean more to me than…Well, than anyone else that was going to be here on Thanksgiving. And that was dangerous. Potentially stupid. Risky. Also exhilarating.Thrilling. "
9 " How did you know I was different?” “You mean besides the obvious obsidian, the alien entourage, and the branch?” He laughed. “You’re full of electricity. See?” He reached between the seats and placed his hand over mine. Static crackled, jolting us both. Daemon grabbed Blake’s hand and threw it back at him. “I do not like you. "
10 " But I'm insane. You're crazy. Maybe that's why, We can just make crazy together. "
11 " Touching him, kissing him, was like having a fever all over again. I was on fire. My body burned. The world burned. Sparks flew. Against his mouth, I moaned.There was a POP! and CRACK!The smell of burned plastic filled the cubicle. We pulled apart, breathing heavily. Over his shoulder I saw thin strips of smoke wafting from the top of the ancient monitor. Good God, was this going to happen every time we kissed? "
12 " Now I was nothing but a shade of grey - my moral compass ambiguous. "
13 " That's the funny thing about trying to escape. You never really can. Maybe temporarily, but not completely. "
14 " Oh holy alien babies everywhere! "
15 " Daemon pressed his forehead against mine. "Oh, I still want to strangle you. But I'm insane. You're crazy. Maybe that's why. We just make crazy together. "
16 " Not in this lifetime, buddy,” I said finally. “Resistance is futile, Kitten.” “So is your charm.” “We’ll see. "
17 " Dogeared pages were Antichrist of book lovers everywhere. "
18 " Kitten, your mind is a terrible and dirty place. "
19 " Can I…?” There was a pause and my heart stuttered. “Can I just hold you? That’s all…that’s all I want. "
20 " Daemon was a total babe, but he was stab-worthy, which at times zeroed out the babe part. Not always, though. "
