1 " What I was trying to say,” he whispered, “is that I see you in everything. There isn’t a word for you that means enough, because you’re everything to me. "
― Veronica Rossi , Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky, #3)
2 " I don't want to play; I want to win. But if you give me the rules, I'll take it from there. "
3 " Just because we failed once doesn't mean we should stop trying "
4 " We all have the potential to do terrible things. But we also have the potential to overcome our mistakes. "
5 " Do you need me?” she said. She could scout as well as Roar and Brooke, who had already disappeared into the darkness. Perry looked up. His hair was tied back with a leather strip, but a piece fell forward, a blond wave coming to rest at his eyebrow. “You want the truth?” Aria braced herself for a comment about her arm. “Always.” “That’s my answer. "
6 " She could have lived every minute she'd had with him better. She should have always spoken the best words she could to him. "
7 " Fine. Then I love you, my little Night Crawler. "
8 " I hope you’re still angry with me,” he said. “I deserve it.” She smiled. “Sorry to disappoint you.” “Damn,” he said. "
9 " When we get out of this, let’s go somewhere again. Me and you.” The tension in her chest loosened, relief washing over her. He’d said when. Even in his beaten condition, he believed in whens and not ifs. She never should have doubted his strength. “Where do you want to go?” she asked. His smile was faint and lopsided. “Doesn’t matter . . . I just want to spend time alone with you.” Aria wanted exactly the same thing. And she ached to see him smile—really smile—so she said, “And this isn’t good enough for you? "
10 " I’m going to kill him for this,” she said. “No. Stay away from him, Aria. Find a way to get us out of here. Use Hess. If he likes to run from problems, let’s give him somewhere to go. Another option. But promise me you’ll stay away from Sable.” “Perry, no.” “Aria, yes.” Didn’t she understand? He could endure anything—except losing her. "
11 " I can’t because I don’t want you to hide from me. "
12 " Did I ever tell you that my home in Rim was bigger than the whole of your compound?" Sable asked.A jab, but Perry couldn't have cared less. His house always offered enough space. Even when the Six had slept wall to wall across the floor, there had always been enough room for everyone."You want to compare sizes Sable? I bet I win. "
13 " Soren huffed. “I saw her looking at me when we were changing into our uniforms.”“She was looking at you because you’re built like a bull.”Soren’s laugh was nervous, clipped. “Is that good?”“It’d be great if she were a cow. "
14 " Roar's mouth pulled into a smile - a beautiful smile she hadn't seen in weeks."Beautiful, huh?"She drew her hand away, giving him a small push on the shoulder. "Don't act surprised.""I'm not. Always nice to be reminded, though. "
15 " Tell me what to say. What can I say to make you want me the way I want you? "
16 " So that we're clear," Perry said, "I don't care if it means everyone on this earth loses any chance of surviving. If you mention her to me again, I will take your head off and watch your blood pool at my feet. "
17 " Fear is dangerous. It sparks violence much faster than anger. "
18 " We have to tell each other the little things, the bad things. Maybe they’ll hurt for a while, but at least they won’t become big things. If we don’t, we’re just going to keep hurting each other. And I don’t want to do that anymore. "
19 " Try to sleep. Tomorrow’s coming, whether we worry about it or not. "
20 " There is no way forward that isn’t through pain. "
