1 " Love is a gift. Passion is a curse "
― Alyson Noel , Dark Flame (The Immortals, #4)
2 " Our past may shape us, but it doesn't define who we become. "
3 " ...if this Roman dude’s as bad as you say, then why are you lurking outside his store looking all charged and heated like a dog waiting for its owner? "
4 " Δεν είναι αγάπη αυτού του είδους. Είναι η αληθινή αγάπη. Η αγάπη άνευ όρων. Η αγάπη που δεν κατακρίνει. Οχι η σωματική αγάπη. Σ'αγαπάω ως αδερφή ψυχή που κατοικεί στη γη. Σ' αγαπάω ως Αθάνατο. Σ' αγαπάω γιατί βαρέθηκα να σε μισώ, και αρνούμαι να συνεχίσω να το κάνω. Σ' αγαπάω γιατί καταλαβαίνω τελικά τι σε έκανε αυτό που είσαι. Και αν μπορούσα θα το άλλαζα. Αλλά δεν μπορώ. Έτσι, επιλέγω να σε αγαπώ. Και ελπίζω η αποδοχή μου να σε παρακινήσει να κάνεις κι εσύ κάτι καλό... "
5 " You cannot always have happiness, but you can always give happiness. "
6 " Life is still life. It’s still tough, complicated, and more than a little messy, with lessons to be learned, mistakes to be made, triumphs and disappointments to be had, and not every day is meant to be a party. "
7 " My feelings for you are not conditional. I don't judge you. I don't lose patience with you. I don't punish you. I just love you. That's all. Pure and simple. "
8 " That's what true love is. It cannot be broken, it cannot be chipped away, it's eternal, everlasting, and it can weather any storm. "
9 " It's not that kind of love. It's the real kind. The unconditional kind. The nonjudgemental kind. Not the physical kind. I love you as a fellow soul who inhabits this earth. I love you as a fellow immortal. I love you because I finally understand what made you the way you are. And if I could change it, I would. But I can't—so I choose to love you instead. And my hope is that my acceptance of you will spur you to do something good too, but if not—" I shrug. "At least I can say I tried. "
10 " You cannot outwalk your problems. Can never run fast enough to evade them completely. "
11 " Trust me, you can't play the game if you don't know the rules. And if you don't know the rules, someone's bound to get hurt. "
12 " Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. "
13 " Four hundred years of losing out on the girl of my dreams isn't sitting very well with me these days. "
14 " The only reason I lost, the only reason I failed to get what I want, is because the monster is me, there's no difference between us. It makes all the moves, calls all the shots, while I'm just along for the ride, with no idea how to pull the brakes or get off. "
15 " What if it can't be worked out? What if I'm—what if I'm broken for good? "
16 " No: What the heck happened?Or: Why did you go from nearly kissing me to tossing me across your yard and into the patio furniture? "
17 " Because I don't have everything I want. Not even close. "
18 " What we think about, what we concentrate on, will always, always, be reflected on the outside. "
19 " And while I'm sure you feel that your particular mistake is extraordinarily big, insurmountable even, contrary to what you might think, these types of things can always be undone, and oftentimes aren't nearily as lethal as we think—or, should I say, as we allow them to be. "
20 " Remember when you picked me up like a frisbee and tossed me across you yard? "
