Fracture (Fracture, #1) QUOTES

1 " The first time I died, I didn't see God. No light at the end of the tunnel. No haloed angels. No dead grandparents. To be fair, I probably wasn't a solid shoo-in for Heaven. But, honestly, I kind of assumed I'd make the cut. "

2 " I leaned against my door, struggling to catch my breath, and thought that maybe hell wasn't a place at all, but a thing. A contagious thing. A thing that could creep up the steps, seep through the crack under my door, grow horns and sprout fire - smelling faintly like sulfur. A thing that could sink its tendrils inside and take root, coloring everything gray and distorting a smile into a sneer. And while i got dressed for the play, swatted at my back and kept running my hands over my stomach because I could feel it, I swear, I could feel it reaching for me, trying to grab hold. "

3 " If you had one day left to live, what would you do? "

― Megan Miranda , Fracture (Fracture, #1)

4 " Funny hoe everything can change in an instant. From death to life. From empty to full. From darkness to light.
Or maybe I just wasn't looking. I hadn't known that light could be a feeling and sound could be a color and a kiss could be both a question and an answer. And that heaven could be the ocean or a person or this moment or something else entirely. "

6 " And then I understood: the worst part about drowning is the undying hope that maybe, just maybe, you're not. "

7 " Alot can happen in eleven minutes. Decker can run two miles in eleven minutes. I once wrote an English essay in ten. And God knows Carson Levine can talk a girl out of her clothes in less then half that time.
Eleven minutes might as well be eternity underwater. It only takes three minutes without air for loss consciousness. Permanent brain damange begins at four minutes. And then, when the oxygen runs out, full cardiac arrest occurs. Death is possible at five minutes. Probable at seven. Definite at ten.
Decker pulled me out at eleven. "

8 " My brain scrambled to make room for the existene of these people. Grandparents I'd never known. They went from hypothetical, empty memories to blurry, unformed shapes in my head. Dead one second, alive the next.
Kind of like me. "

9 " I'm okay," I said again, because if I said it enough, maybe it'd be true. "

10 " I just wanted to know how the brain worked. If maybe I would've saved them, too. If we could be more than who we were destined to be. "

11 " I should've waited for the emotion to settle before I answered Decker. But I didn't. Now it was a moment. It was a moment, I was sure, that I would hate. "

― Megan Miranda , Fracture (Fracture, #1)

12 " I'm not sure which way will guarantee I won't lose you. Overbearing or underbearing. "

― Megan Miranda , Fracture (Fracture, #1)

13 " The ruins were just a reminder that what had been was no longer. That everything we are will be gone someday. That I will be forgotten. "

― Megan Miranda , Fracture (Fracture, #1)

14 " Nothing' could be worse than anything real. Like the dark. 'Nothing' can be the most terrifying thing of all. "

― Megan Miranda , Fracture (Fracture, #1)

15 " But there was a chasm, too much said, too much unsaid, to go back. Or forward. "

― Megan Miranda , Fracture (Fracture, #1)

16 " I didn't know how to fix us. How to go back and unsay all the things I said. How to tell him all the things I'd been unable to say. And after all that, would there be anything left underneath? Was there anything worth saving? "

17 " To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" he said.
I placed my hands flat on the table and leaned across it. "Stay the hell away from him."
"Who? Oh, you mean the guy who's gonna bite it soon?"
"He's not. He's going to be fine."
He reached a hand out and placed it over my own. I snatched my hand back. He shook his head at me and whispered, "You can't stop it."
"Watch me. "

18 " Decker went to Greece a few summers ago and showed me pictures from his trip.

"Aren't these awesome?" he had said, pointing out photographs of the ancient ruins.

"Awesome" I agreed, but I felt dizzy. The ruins were just a reminder that what had been was no longer. That everything we are will be gone someday. That I will be forgotten. "
