41 " Your eyes are so deep. So calm. I want to know what you're thinking. "
― , Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1)
42 " „Слънцето е безочливо: винаги напуска света, щом се отегчи от нас. Луната е предан спътник. Никога не си тръгва. Винаги стои на мястото си и ни наблюдава непоколебимо, познава ни в светлите и тъмните ни моменти, променя се непрекъснато също като нас самите. Всяка нощ изгрява с различно лице. Понякога вяло и немощно, понякога силно и пълно със светлина. Луната разбира какво е да си човек. Несигурен. Самотен. Осеян с несъвършенства като с кратери. "
43 " Tendría que estar ciego para perderme algo así. Quiero decir, demonios, sólo la manera en que te mira. Es como que el chico nunca haya visto a una mujer en su vida. Como poner comida en frente de un hombre muerto de hambre y decirle que no puede comerlo. "
44 " Мечтаех единствено да протегна ръка и да докосна друго човешко същество, не само с ръцете си, но и със сърцето си "
45 " I've been locked up for 264 days.1 window. 4 walls. 144 square feet of space. 26 letters in an alphabet I haven't spoken in 264 days of isolation.6.336 hours since I've touched another human being. "
46 " They locked me up with a boy. A boy.Dear God.They're trying to kill me. "
47 " Why don't you just kill me?""That, my dear, would be a waste." He steps forward and I realize his hands are sheathed in white leather gloves. He tips my chin up with one finger. "Besides, it'd be a shame to lose such a pretty face. "
48 " You are not normal. You never have been, and you never will be. Embrace who you are. "
49 " So you just kill people for power.""As do you.""How dare you-"He laughs, loud. "You're free to lie to yourself, if it makes you feel better.""I am not lying-""Why did it take you so long to break your connection with Jenkins?"My mouth freezes in place."Why didn't you fight back right away? Why did you allow him to touch for as long as he did?"My hands have begun to shake and I grip them, hard. "You don't know anything about me.""And yet you claim to know me so well."I clench my jaw, not trusting myself to speak."At least I'm honest," he adds."You just agreed you're a liar!"He raises his eyebrows. "At least I'm honest about being a liar. "
50 " Why are you being nice to me?"The suprise on his face suprises me even more."Because I care about you." he says simply."You care about me?" The numbness in my body is beginning to dissipate. My blood pressure is rising and anger making its way to the forefron of my consciousness. "I almost killed Jenkins because of you!""You didn't kill-""Your soldiers beat me! You keep me here like a prisoner! You threaten me! You threaten to kill me! You give me no freedom and you say you care about me?" I nearly throw the glass of water at his face. "You are a monster!"Warner turns away so I'm staring at his profile. He clasps his hands. Changes his mind. Touches his lips. "I am only trying to help you.""Liar."He seems to consider that. Nods, just once. "Yes, most of the time, yes. "
51 " Well at least your awake," he sighs "You had me worried.""Get your hands away from me."He waves sheathed fingers in front of my face. "I'm all covered up. Don't worry.""I hate you.""So much passion." He laughs again. He looks so calm, so genuinely amused. He stares at me with eyes softer than I ever expected them to be.I turn away. "
52 " Juliette Ferrars." A voice detonates my name. There's a heavy boot pressed on my back and I can't lift my head to distingush who's speaking to me. "Weston, dim the lights and release her. I want to see her face." The command is cool and strong like steel, dangerously calm, effortlessly powerful. The brightness is reduced to a level I'm able to tolerate. The imprint of a boot is carved into my back but no longer settled on my skin. I lift my head and look up. I'm immediately struck by his youth. He can't be much older than me. It's obvious he's in charge of something, though I have no idea what. His skin is flawless, unblemished, his jawline sharp and strong. His eyes are the palest shade of emerald I've ever seen. He's beautiful. His crooked smile is calculated evil. "
53 " My stomach is a flimsy crepe, my heart a raging woodpecker, my blood a river of anxiety. "
54 " Hope is hugging me, holding me in its arms, wiping away my tears and telling me that today and tomorrow and two days from now I will be just fine and I'm so delirious I actually dare to believe it. "
55 " I only know now that the scientists are wrong.The world is flat.I know because I was tossed right off the edge and I've been trying to hold on for 17 years. I've been trying to climb back up for 17 years but it's nearly impossible to beat gravity when no one is willing to give you a hand. "
56 " Hope is a pocket of possibility.I'm holding it in my hand. "
57 " I am nothing but novocaine. I am numb, a world of nothing, all feeling and emotion gone forever. I am a whisper that never was. "
58 " Someone picked up the sun and pinned it to the sky again, but every day it hangs a little lower than the day before. It's like a negligent parent who only knows one half of who you are. It never sees how its absence changes people. How different we are in the dark. "
59 " My life is four walls of missed opportunities poured in concrete molds. "
60 " But I'm shocked by the tenderness in his voice. The sincerity with which he wants to know. He's like a feral dog, crazed and wild, thirsty for chaos, simultaneously aching for recognition and acceptance.Love. "
