41 " Darkness can't drive out darkness only light can do that, Hate can't drive out hate only love can do that. "
― Kami Garcia , Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1)
42 " This isn't going to be some freaky pagan sex thing, is it? "
43 " Ant Prune was holding one of the squirrels in her hand. ‘And once a day, we have ta clean their little private parts with a Q-tip, so they'll learn ta clean themselves.'That was a visual I didn't need "

44 " What is the opposite of two? A lonely me and a lonely you. "
45 " Aunt Mercy put down her tiles, one at a time. I-T-C-H-I-N.Aunt Grace leaned closer to the board, squinting. "Mercy Lynne, you're cheatin' again! What kinda word is that? Use it in a sentence.""I'm itchin' ta have some a that white cake.""That's not how you spell it." At least one of them could spell. Aunt Grace pulled one of the tiles off the board. "There's no T in itchin'." Or not. "
46 " I'm just the librarian. I can only give you the books. I can't give you the answers. "
47 " I was losing her, she wouldn’t listen to me, and I was about to fail my third quiz of the semester. Great.By the way, can you simplify 7x – 2(4x – 6)?I knew she could. She was already in Trig.What does that have to do with anything?Nothing. But I’m failing this quiz.She sighed.A Caster girlfriend had some perks. "
48 " I said it, just like that. No stupid jokes, no changing the subject. For once, I wasn't embarrassed, because it was the truth. I had fallen. I think I had always been falling. And she might as well know, if she didn't already, because there was no going back now. Not for me. "
49 " No, I'm too busy trying to deflect your Power of Stupidity. But I don't think I'm strong enough. "
50 " She leaned into my shoulder. "Maybe you don't have to be a Caster to have power."I pushed her hair behind her ear. "Maybe you just have to fall for one. "
51 " You're nottheonlyonefalling "
52 " I stared at the creased map on my wall, the thin green lineconnecting all the places I had read about. There they were, all thecities of my imaginary future, held together with tape and marker andpins. In six months, a lot had changed. There was no thin green linethat could lead me to my future anymore. Just a girl. "
53 " I didn't know where they had taken his body, but I understood her impulse to be here. To be with him, even without him. "
54 " I never loved you any more than I do, right this second. And I'll never love you any less than I do, right this second. "
55 " Well? Is it true? Did she?""Did she what?""You know. Fall outta the crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down? "
56 " I couldn't lose her. I wouldn't. Just the thought of never being able to touch her again made me crazy. Crazier than losing all my friends. Crazier than being the least popular guy in school. Crazier than having Amma perpetually angry at me. Losing her was the worst thing I could imagine. Like I was falling, but this time I would definitely hit the ground. "
57 " It is difficult to free fools from chains they revere. "
58 " If this was a movie, we would've sat down at the table with the guys and they would have learned some kind of valuable lesson, like not to judge people by how they look, or that being different is okay. And Lena would've learned that all jocks weren't stupid and shallow. It always seemed to work in movies, but this wasn't a movie. This was Gatlin, which severely limited what could happen. "
59 " It wasn't that she was different from all the other girls at Jackson. That was obvious. It was that she made me realize how much I was just like the rest of them, even if I wanted to pretend I wasn't. "
60 " There are more of us than you think. "
