1 " That must be love: when everything else in the world could implode and you wouldn't care as long as you had that one person standing beside you. "
― Katie McGarry , Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2)
2 " Jocks usually aren't smart. Their muscles feast on their brains. "
3 " Here's the thing- I love you and I love her, but I swear to God I'll kick your ass if you hurt her. "
4 " There’s a power I only feel when I’m with Isaiah. A boldness I’ve never possessed in my life. Never in a million years would I have imagined I’d be the girl who’d say she was falling fast for a boy before he did. Never in a million years did I think I’d be lying in bed with a totally ripped guy that has his shirt off. But Isaiah has this effect on me. He makes me feel stronger than I really am. "
5 " How many more of us are faking the facade? How many more of us are pretending to be something we're not? Even better, how many of us will have the courage to be ourselves regardless of what others think? "
6 " Nothing makes you think you might need years of therapy like saying the word breasts in front of your mother. "
7 " You can`t change destinies already written, that only happens in fairy tales. "
8 " Living is like being chained at the bottom of a shallow pond with my eyes open and no air. I can see distorted images of happiness and light, even hear muffled laughter, but everything is out of my reach as I lie in suffocating agony. If death is the opposite of living, then I hope death is like floating. "
9 " Her tactics are brutal. The Marines could employ her. "
10 " Typical me--hurricane that leaves nothing but destruction. "
11 " Quiet anger frightens me. The drunks, the idiots, the ones that rage easily - them I can handle. I know when to step out of their way. It's the ones that hold the anger in, the men that think about what they do and how they do it, that scare me. They're the ones that cause damage. "
12 " Food shouldn't be half-bad. It should be all good. "
13 " Yesterday Allison bought me nail polish in the annoying shade of mauve. How can anyone look at me and think mauve? "
14 " I came to this house for safety. They came because the foster care system ran out of homes. We stayed because we were stray pieces of other puzzles, tired of never fitting. "
15 " Emotions is evil. People who make me feel are worse. I take comfort in the stone inside of me. If I don't feel, I don't hurt. "
16 " I don't like how he holds on to her and don't like how long he's holding. That doesn't look like brotherly love to me. I stare at his girl. Why is she so damned happy to see her guy hugging someone else? "
17 " I'm not a princess but Ryan is a knight, he just belongs to someone else. "
18 " I don't lose. Do you hear me? I don't lose and that includes losing you. I'm done being kept in the dark. Im done feeling like you're slipping right past me. You are not saying goodbye to me. I'm in love with you and you love me back. You are staying. "
19 " My fingers lightly trace her arm and I swear she presses closer to me. I'd love to kiss her right now. Not the type of kiss that makes her body come alive. The type of kiss that shows her how much I care - the type that involves my soul. "
20 " This overwhelming, encompassing feeling is love. It's not perfect and it's messy as hell. And it's exactly what I need. "
