141 " I think I wasn't really looking. What reason did I have when there was you? "
― Kiera Cass , The Elite (The Selection, #2)
142 " Not to worry, darling. I’ll see you at dinner.” Yes, I thought, but you’ll see all of us at dinner. "
143 " I was afraid that I was wrong, that you change your mind any second. I’ve been looking for a suitable alternative but the truth is there’s only one you. Maybe I’m not really looking, maybe they aren’t right for me. It doesn’t matter. I just know I want you. And that terrifies me. I’ve been waiting for you to take back the words, to beg to leave.” - Prince Maxon "
144 " Your Majesty." a guard called, racing over to us. "You have to get downstairs now!"He gruffly turned Maxon around and shoved him away. Maxon cried out and dropped the metal box again. I looked over at the guards's hand on Maxon, expecting to see that he'd driven a knife into his back based on the sound Maxon had made. All I saw was a thick, pewter ring around his thumb. "
145 " Ducking my head, I gave a slight nod. I couldn’t try to talk about my feelings for a person who obviously had a crush on someone else. "
146 " Will you indulge me?' Maxon asked."Did you ever love me?"I nodded. I couldn't say the words aloud. If I did, how would I be able to leave?"Thank you," he whispered. "At least I can know for certain that, for one brief moment of our time together, you and I felt the same thing. "
147 " At home I sometimes ran for fun, to play with Gerad or just to feel the ache of exertion. "
148 " —Prométeme que, aunque me case con un Ocho miserable en un callejón perdido, estarás ahí. —Ella me miró con incredulidad, como si estuviera segura de que eso no pasaría nunca. —Aunque sea así. Lo prometo.— No me pidió que le hiciera una promesa del mismo estilo, por lo que, una vez más, me pregunté si no habría otro Cuatro esperándola en su casa. "
149 " In an instanta thousand secrets that Aspen and I had built and saved flooded my mind: the names we'd picked out for our imaginary children, our tree house, his ticklish spot on the back of his neck, the notes we'd writen and hidden away, my failed efforts in making homemade soap, games of tic-tac-toe played with our fingers on his stomach ... games where we couldn't remember our invisable moves ... games he'd always let me win. "
150 " —¿Cómo es estar enamorada?—Es lo más maravilloso y lo más terrible que te puede suceder —dijo, simplemente—. Sabes quehas encontrado algo sorprendente, y quieres que te dure toda la vida; y a partir de entonces, te pasas cadasegundo temiendo el momento en que puedas llegar a perderlo. "
151 " What's like to be inlove?" May asked.Lucy's smile was sad. ït's the most wonderful and terrible thing that can happen to you," she said simply. "You know that you've found something amazing, and you want to hold on to it forever; and every second after you have it, you fear the moment you might lose it. "
152 " For now I will play by the rules and go as far as I can with that. "
153 " no decidas cómo será el resto de tu vida por lo que le ha pasado durante apenas cinco minutos a otra persona. "
154 " L’amour, c’est une peur qui vous donne des ailes. "
155 " Todo lo que necesites, todo lo que quieras... Tú solo tienes que decirlo, y yo haré todo lo pueda por ti "
156 " Its a strange thing to discover how much you matter to people you didn't really know you mattered to. "
157 " And where would we be without ourfathers’ approval?”She giggled. “Lost, of course. We’d have no idea how to live.”I laughed back, grateful for someone to joke about it with. It was the onlyway to deal with it sometimes. "
158 " Don’t worry, Mer. I’ll take care of you. "
159 " A veces tengo la sensación de que somos como un nudo, demasiado enredado como para que nos puedan separar "
160 " Tell one story to one generation and repeat it until it was accepted as fact? How often had I asked someone older than Mom or Dad what they knew or what their parents had seen? They were old. What did they know? It was so arrogant of me to discount them completely. I felt so stupid. "
