2 " She was luminous. Her red hair had been braided a dozen ways, all swirled together in a high shaggy twist. Her eyelids were shimmering green, her lips crimson and matte. She wore black vintage ankle-high motorcycle boots. She was lethal. "

Then she was at the bottom, in the filtered light, alone. Black water filled her nose and mouth, her stomach, her lungs.
Her soul. "

A tear rolled down his cheek. He closed his eyes. He had so much more to say and so little time for it to matter. "

"This whole time, I've been in Hell?" She stepped away from Cam, out of the spotlight and into darkness.
"Because of you. "

7 " His hands grasped her waist and lifted her until she could have sworn that his feet had come off the ground, too; that they were floating up above the creek, above the trees, above the burning hillside, into the dense tangle of stars, about to kiss the moon. "

12 " The boy had stopped coughing by then.
He was petting a little white dog who’d trotted
out from the house. “Are you Lilith’s
boyfriend?”
Cam grinned. “I like this kid.”
“Shut up,” Lilith said.
“Well, is he?” Bruce asked Lilith. “Because
if he’s your boyfriend, he’s going to
have to win me over, too. Like with arcade
games and ice cream and, like, teaching me
to throw a baseball.”
“Why stop there?” Cam asked. “I’ll teach
you to throw a football, a punch, a poker
match, and even”—he glanced at Lilith—“the
coolest girl off her game. "

13 " For every time Luce met Daniel—and
she always met Daniel—nothing mattered as
much as their love. "

― Lauren Kate , Unforgiven (Fallen, #5)

14 " He thought about Daniel and Lucinda.
They had embodied love for so long, as far as
the fallen angels were concerned. He wished they were beside him now, playing the role of the happy couple offering sage advice to their
suffering friend.Fight for her, they would tell him. Even
when it seems like all is lost, do not give up
the fight for love. How had Luce and Daniel done it for so
long? It took a strength Cam wasn’t sure he
had. The pain when she refused him—and, so far, almost all she did was refuse him—was staggering. And yet he went for it again and again and again. Why? To save her. To help her. Because he
loved her. Because if he gave up… He could not give up. "

15 " Lucinda’s wings had been special. They
had been purely, stunningly white. Unspoiled.
Innocent of the choices the rest of
them had made. The only other fallen angel
who had preserved his white wings was
Daniel. "

― Lauren Kate , Unforgiven (Fallen, #5)

16 " Why Lilith?” Cam asked. “Do you craft
everyone’s Hell this way?”
Lucifer smiled. “The dull ones make
their own dull hells, fire and brimstone and
all that crap. They need no help from me. But
Lilith—she’s special. Not that I have to tell
you that. "

― Lauren Kate , Unforgiven (Fallen, #5)

17 " Beneath his exhaustion, he radiated a serenity that suggested nothing in this place could touch him. Maybe nothing in this world could touch him. It was one of the most beautiful things she’d ever seen. She wanted to be that way, too: at peace with herself, autonomous, free. "

― Lauren Kate , Unforgiven (Fallen, #5)

18 " We all carry pieces of our journeys within us,” Roland said. “We all learn from our mistakes. Who’s to say we don’t deserve happiness? "

― Lauren Kate , Unforgiven (Fallen, #5)

19 " The stars are on your face tonight
There is no outer space tonight "
