1 " No importa cuánto intentes proteger a la gente que quieres, Caleb. No puedes hacerlo,. Solo puedes apoyarlos, estar ahí. No puedes elegir su camino, porque solo les pertenece a ellos. Es su lucha no la tuya. "
― Isabelle Ronin , Chasing Red (Chasing Red, #1)
2 " Her mouth twitched. My girl rarely smiled, but when she did, I felt like Superman. "
3 " It’s one of my favorite parts in Alice in Wonderland. Alice asks the White Rabbit, ‘How long is forever?’ The White Rabbit answers, ‘Sometimes just one second.’ This”—he kissed my lips—“this feels like forever right here.” He stared into my eyes. “How can I not wish for that? "
4 " I felt like laundry in a washing machine, when all I wanted was to be put on and become her favourite shirt. "
5 " Caleb was like the sun. He was so warm, so big and bright that you couldn't help but come closer. But what would happen when I get too close?. "
6 " I shrugged. "What do you want to eat?" "Hamburger, fries, steak, pasta, seafood? And..." I glanced at him when he didn't continue. He had a secret smile on his lips. What the hell was he thinking now? "And?" I prompted. "You," he replied. I could hear the smile in his voice. I rolled my eyes.Yeah, right. Me and possibly the whole blonde population, I thought darkly. "
7 " Everything that happens in your life is to prepare you, Veronica,” she’d said. “Metal has to go through fire to melt and be turned into a sword. Be strong because this is just a test. You are being melted, being molded into a stronger person. This burning will pass, and you will find rest. Don’t give up, honey. "
8 " It’s what you learn from the bad things that can determine the path you choose. If you embrace your scars and let them make you stronger, you might be able to open up and move beyond the pain. "
9 " —Es una de mis partes preferidas de Alicia en el país de las maravillas. Alicia le pregunta al Conejo Blanco: «¿Cuánto tiempo es para siempre?», y el Conejo Blanco responde: «A veces, para siempre es solo un segundo». "
10 " When you know that someone in the world is thinking about you and wants to be with you and thinks the world of you... and makes you fall in love with them over and over again...it makes you think that the world is a better place after all. Even when everyone is against you, it's okay. Because you know there is always that one person who will never leave your side. "
11 " I was always surrounded by people, always thought I belonged with them. I was never lonely, but I was never really happy either. I didn't realize until now, as we stared into each other's eyes, that I had never really belonged with anyone. Until Red. Until she came into my life. She was home. My home. "
12 " I've learned to accept that it's not my fault when bad things happen to me or to the people I love. It's just the way life is. It's not fair. If you're one of the unlucky ones, then fight. Be stronger. Be stronger because you have no choice. Be stronger than you are right now because if you're not, life will swallow you up and spit you right out. And then you'll die with a broken heart. "
13 " It was like watching someone at war with the world every day. And maybe she was. "
14 " She was like a puzzle that was missing a few pieces. Maybe I'd carve my own pieces to complete her. "
15 " I wasn't asking for a whole bucket of water. Just a drop. Just a drop was more than enough. Just one look. Turn around and look at me. "
16 " ...then looked at her more closely. “Why is your face shiny?” Her brows drew together. “Are you for real? This is what you would call a highlighter. I’m a princess. I glitter. I sparkle. I rule over the land. "
17 " I was never one to hide my emotions. What was the point of having feelings if you couldn't admit to them, even to yourself? "
18 " -Ahora mismo, para mí, "hot cakes" significa darte la mano e ir a pasear a la playa. "
19 " How do you complete someone when you've lost yourself in loving him? How do you find yourself when you've let yourself be lost in loving him? You have to learn to be strong without him, so when one of you is not, you're not stuck in the same hole of weakness together because that's what will destroy you. You can't be weak together. "
20 " No matter how much you want to protect the people you love, Caleb, you can't. You can only be there for them. You can't choose their path because it is theirs alone. It is their fight, not yours. "
