1 " Brother, when you've been here as long as I have, you'll come to discover there are only one or two essential things worth living for. Unique to you and you alone. My honor is one of them for me. I keep my honor by keeping the relic out of their hands. "
― Brodi Ashton , Neverfall (Everneath, #1.5)
2 " In the moment I faced dying, I finally knew my reason for living. "
3 " What was the point of finding something worth living for if my life was no longer in my own hands? "
4 " If the eye really was a muscle, I had pulled it long ago. "
5 " Great. There was no scenario in this whole damn thing where Jack didn't come off looking as awesome as the love child of Thor and Optimus Prime. "
6 " How are you still sane?""Who says I am? I only stopped asking myself the escape question when the walls started to answer me."Shit. "
7 " I tell him there'll be an army waiting for him, and your friend is only concerned with the color of their uniforms. What's this really about?"Max shrugged. "A girl."I glared at Max. "Dude. Shut up. "
8 " The question I should've been asking myself was, in ninety-nine years, how will I find another Forfeit who will survive the Feed? But the question I actually asked myself was, Could Nikki ever look at me the way she looked at Jack in those final moments? "
9 " All I noticed was how the sunlight reflected off Nikki's dark hair, lighting her up like a homing beacon, pulling me to her. Maybe I was the only one who saw it that way.No. The guy who had his arms around her probably saw it that way too."He has a clinging problem, doesn't he?" I commented.Meredith scoffed. "Epic love clings epically. "
10 " Her emotional layers had the depth of a full symphony. All I wanted was the bathe in her harmony. "
11 " Epic love dies epically. "
12 " No you don't," he said. "The corpses can wait."I wasn't sure if he was referring to me or the screen. I would've asked him to clarify but, Jack's lips were suddenly very busy moving against Nikki's. I resisted the urge to dry-heave and looked up at the sky, the trees, the buses anywhere that wouldn't trigger the upchuck reflex. Jack needed to learn some manners. Damn epic love. "
13 " I pretended for a moment___ and only for a moment___ that I was the person she was making room for. That the hand she held up reached for me. That the heart thumping in her chest beat for me and me alone. I allowed myself that split second of weakness. "
14 " She's dating the school quarterback.""People date all the time. And they break up all the time.""Not these two," Meredith said with a snort. "Their love is epic. Everyone at school knows it. He gave up his philandering ways to be with his longtime childhood bestie."I finally glanced at her sideways. "They're in high school. High schoolers don't philander.""Jack Caputo does. Or did. "
15 " There's no such thing as epic love. "
16 " Maybe a ghost is the safest person to talk to. "
17 " I crouched down beside her bed and lightly touched her forehead. "Dont' worry, Nik. I'll never let you go. Never. "
