Tiger Lily QUOTES

41 " She stands on the cliffs, near the old crumbling stone house. There's nothing left in the house but an upturned table, a ladle, and a clay bowl. She stands for more than an hour, goose-bumped and shivering. At these times, she won't confide in me. She runs her hands over her body, as if checking that it's still there, her heart pulsing and beating. The limbs are smooth and strong, thin and sinewy, her hair long and black and messy and gleaming despite her age. You wouldn't know it to look at her, that she's lived long enough to look for what's across the water. Eighty years later, and she is still fifteen. "

42 " Forget him. Forget him. "

43 " I like to think that one day after I die, at least one small particle of me will float away to Neverland, and be apart of a flower or something like that. I like to think that nothing’s final, and that everyone gets to be together even when it looks like they don’t, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else... "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

44 " Of all the things Tiger Lily had thought she might have to be for Peter—strong, brave; to be big and to keep up—she had never thought that the one thing he wanted most from her was simply to show that she believed in him, always and without fail. For Peter, who feared losing so much, this was a great comfort indeed. "

45 " P.S Please give my love to Tink. She was always such a funny little bug. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

46 " He smiled again, and I felt the smile in my fingers and in the soles of my feet; it invaded me like a bad spirit, and Tiger Lily shivered "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

47 " A faerie heart is different from a human heart. Human hearts are elastic. They have room for all sorts of passions, and they can break and heal and love again and again. Faerie hearts are evolutionarily less sophisticated. They are small and hard, like tiny grains of sand. Our hearts are too small to love more than one person in a lifetime. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

48 " Why does this faerie follow you everywhere?" he asked. "Do you think she's plotting to murder you in your sleep?" he teased. My wings and the tips of my feet tingled with anger. But then he reached a finger toward me gently, and the anger melted. "Let's name her Tinker Bell," he said, like I was their child. He swooped his hand underneath me. "Hi, little Tink." Hearing him say it thrilled me-a name Peter had invented, just for me. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

49 " From above, the world looks orderly. That is one of the primary benefits of having wings. Being high shapes everything below into peaceful patterns. And even though you know there is chaos below, messiness everywhere, it is reassuring to sometimes think that it all eventually sorts itself out into something that looks elegant. "

50 " Hook's fingers always twitched when he spoke of Pan. It turned him dark and antsy, and his jaw clenched and unclenched. It was an old grudge, and Smee still didn't understand where it had begun. All he knew was that Hook was stuck on it: he sometimes repeated a conversation over and over again, that he imagined he was having with Peter. "

51 " Sometimes love means not being able to bear seeing the one you love the way they are, when they’re not what you hoped for them. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

52 " There was a long moment between them that might have gone differently. Of all the times I saw the two of them together, this is the picture that is most stamped into my soul. It’s the two of them, jumbled up and broken apart into confused pieces, and not really understanding, themselves, what they were doing. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

53 " She hated his need to always win and he hated her coldness during their arguments. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

54 " You have to be careful who you meet. You can’t unmeet them. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

55 " I'm not myself," she offered, guiltily. She softened around Tik Tok, and when she did she was, for those rare moments, girlish.

He smiled. "You can never say that. You're just a piece of yourself right now that you don't like. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

56 " Let me tell you something straight off. This is a love story, but not like any you've ever heard. The boy and the girl are far from innocent. Dear lives are lost. And good doesn't win. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

57 " It turned out that my curiosity did not outweigh my courage after all. Sometimes love means not being able to bear seeing the one you love the way they are, when they're not what you hoped for. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

58 " To love someone was not what she had expected. It was like falling from somewhere high up and breaking in half, and only one person having the secret to the puzzle of putting her back together. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

59 " And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn't seem broken at all. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily

60 " Sometimes I can't see myself when I'm with you. I can only just see you. "

― Jodi Lynn Anderson , Tiger Lily
