1 " What can you do how much can you give to bring grace and salvation unto even one soul "
― Bree Despain , The Dark Divine (The Dark Divine, #1)
2 " God is the ultimate judge of what is truly in our souls. But we are requiered to forgive everyone. "
3 " That's what makes it so right. Your eyes—your soul is there, but the rest of you is still so undefined. That's the beauty of childhood. The eyes show everything you've seen so far, but the rest of you is still so open to possibility, to whatever you might become. "
4 " We don't forgive people because they deserve it. We forgive them because they need it—because we need it. "
5 " But why is it so hard to forgive?' Mrs. Conners asked.'Pride,' Dad said. 'This person has already wronged you in some way, and now you are the one who has to swallow your pride, give something up, in order to forgive him. "
6 " You know some religious scholars believe that when faced with overwhelming temptation you should commit a small sin just to relieve the pressure a bit. "
7 " Some people are desperate because they don't know how to ask for His grace. "
8 " We don't forgive people because they deserve it. We forgive them because they need itwe need it. "
9 " The problem with promises is that you've made one, it's bound to be broken. "
10 " Remember Grace, if you let anger into your heart, it will push out your ability to love. "
11 " My inner wolf seeks to destroy the one I love for reasons of self-preservation. For the only cure to free my soul is to be killed, in an act of true love, by the one who loves me most.. "
12 " Blood fills my mouth. Fire sears my veins. I choke back a howl. The silver knife slips--thechoice is mine.I am death or life. I am salvation or destruction. Angel or demon.I am grace.I plunge in the knife.This is my sacrifice--I am the monster. "
13 " You should get out of here. Have a good life. "
14 " There are a lot of bad things out there. Things the Hounds of Heaven werecreated to destroy." He trailed his finger down the side of my face. "I can't be the hero you wantme to be--at least not in that way. But you can, Grace. You don't have to become one of the darkones. You can fight it. You can turn this curse into a blessing. You can become the hero. Youcan become truly divine. "
15 " The problem with promises is that once you've made one, it's bound to be broken. It's like anunspoken cosmic rule. "
16 " Jude was good. But he let his fear and jealousy get to him." Daniel shrugged. "'Fear leads toanger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to the dark side. "
17 " I almost laughed in spite of my nerves. What were the odds that two werewolves had the hots forme? Like I was some gigantic monster magnet. Was there a sign on my back that said, bite me,i'm available !? "
18 " You know I can't do that. Pete's probably already spent a ton of money. He's a nice guy. I can'tjust bail--"Pete's not as nice as you think," Daniel grumbled.I laughed. "Are you jealous? Pete's just a friend--"Daniel grabbed me by the hips. "Of course I'm jealous, Gracie. You just told me that you love mebut you are going out with another guy. But this is more important than my jealousy. If I'mstaying here, then you have to stay in. I've got enough to keep my eye on. I can't have you outthere. Not tonight. "
19 " No one should have the right to ask you to keep promiseespecially if they don't consider all the facts. "
20 " We are required to forgive everyone. "
