21 " Cerulean left. I wondered if she was from Flower Planet. Blue flowers were rare - one might take a name from that. "
― Stephenie Meyer , The Host (The Host, #1)
22 " If I got to pick anyone, anyone at all, to be stranded on a deserted planet with, it would be you, I always want to be with you. And not just... not just to talk to. When you touch me... I don't want you to stop. "
23 " The ticking seconds pulled me toward the end. It was cold when he no longer held me. It got colder every step I took away from him. Just my imagination, of course. It was still summer here. It would always be summer here for me. "
24 " Perhaps there could be no joy on this planet without an equal weight of pain to balance it out on some unknown scale. "
25 " Even if we all want you here, you don't belong until you decide you do. "
26 " There wasn't in the beginning. It wasn't until your kind discovered what was happening that any resistance started. That seems to be the key—knowing what’s going to happen. "
27 " I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become. "
28 " I held you in my hands, Wanderer, and you were beautiful. "
29 " You never know how much time you'll have. "
30 " You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me. "
31 " You are the noblest, purest creature I've ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you," he whispered. "

Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire? "
33 " Life and love go on... "
34 " Her name is Wanda, not it. You will not touch her. Any mark you leave on her, I will double on your worthless hide. "
35 " Body and soul. Two different things "
36 " Perhaps without the lows, the highs could not be reached. "
37 " It's real interesting to have a soul as a friend, and it makes me feel super special that I've managed it. "
38 " You and I won't lose each other, I will always find you again. No matter how well you hide. I'm unstoppable. "
39 " If I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn't be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives. "
40 " Happy and sad, elated and miserable, secure and afraid, loved and denied, patient and angry, peaceful and wild, complete and empty...all of it. I would feel everything. It would all be mine. "
