1 " All the most powerful emotions come from chaos -fear,anger,love- especially love. Love is chaos itself. Think about it! Love makes no sense. It shakes you up and spins you around. And then, eventually , it falls apart. "
― Kirsten Miller , The Eternal Ones (Eternal Ones, #1)
2 " My faith is big enough to accept all of God's wonders. "
3 " I look for you in every life, but I don't always find you. And sometimes I find you too late. "
4 " Imogene always sitson the remote. It’s probably wedged between her butt cheeks.”“Should I go get a crowbar? "
5 " You know, sometimes when you're too close to someone, it's hard to see who they really are. "
6 " Sometimes when we're in love, we take the facts and spin them into pretty stories. But it's a dangerous thing to do--because one day, like it or not, you're going to see the world as it really is. You find out people aren't always who you want them to be. And if you're not ready for the truth...well, let's just say it can come as a bit of a shock. "
7 " Yes, it's funny, isn't it? You try to do what's best for the people you love, and you just end up in trouble for your efforts. "
8 " Because I love you," Iain said simply. "I always have. I love your bad temper. I love your jealous streak. I love your strength and pigheadedness. And I know you love me. And sometimes love makes people go a little crazy. The insanity won't last forever...I hope. "
9 " But there was still something missing. Something that nagged at her-an emptiness she couldn't explain. There were mornings she woke with her heart pounding wildly and the sensation of arms wrapped around her. But the feeling slipped away the moment she opened her eyes, and no matter how quickly she squeezed them shut, she couldn't recapture the contentment she'd felt. "
10 " Beau, will you please watch the entrance for us?""What should I do if I see anyone suspicious?""Kick a car," Iain said."Kick a car?""To set off the alarm.""Gotcha," Beau said. "Good thinking. "
11 " Don't expect me to be perfect. Despite all my lives, I'm still only human. I can't deliver perfection, and I'll only disappoint you. But I want you to know that you are the most important person to me. I'm trying to protect you.Sometimes I screw things up. I may even tell a white lie every now and then. But you have to give me the benefit of the doubt. "
12 " I can’t run around falling in love with fantasies. "
13 " I've been called many things. But I suppose 'the devil' is as good a name as any. "
14 " El amor y la fe van de la mano. No se puede tener uno sin la otra. Y como todos sabemos, no siempre es seguro dar ese paso. A veces se juzga equivocadamente, y se acaba mordiendo el polvo. Pero a menos que demos ese paso, nunca sabremos qué hay del otro lado. Hay que buscar agallas para hacerlo. "
15 " You see, faith means listening to your heart, not just your heard. It's not about ignoring facts; it's about being willing to see around them sometimes. "
16 " The problems come when it's time to put our faith in things other than the Lord. There's no doubt that other people can be tricky. But once again, it's all about listening to your heart. That don't mean you should ignore what your head's telling you. But your heart will do a much better job of helping you figure out who's good and who ain't. Who deserves your faith, and who doesn't. If you judge solely by evidence, you could wind up making some big mistakes. "
17 " Love and faith go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. And as we all know, taking the leap ain't always safe. Sometimes you judge poorly, and you land right on your face. But unless you make the jump, you'll never know what's on the other side. You just gotta find the guts to do it. "
18 " -Creo que debería acompañarlos-replicó Beau-. No estoy seguro de que sea una buena idea aún dejar a Haven sola contigo.-Es un poco sobreprotector-le explicó Haven a Iain. -Él siempre ha sido así-comentó Iain-. Yo no esperaría que cambie pronto.-¿Cómo sabes que siempre he sido así?-preguntó Beau, molesto-. Tenemos media hora de conocernos.-Tenemos al menos quinientos años de conocernos-lo corrigió Iain-. Tú eras hermano de ella cuando te conocí. En ese entonces también te llevó algo de tiempo aceptarme. "
19 " They may think they understand how God works, but if were were able to understand how God works, we wouldn't need faith, now would we? "
20 " —¿Cómo funciona eso, entonces? —preguntó Haven—. ¿Cómo se vuelve a encontrar la gente?—Lo único que sé es que atraemos a las personas que hemos amado antes.—¿Y tú y yo nos hemos encontrado en cada vida?—Ojalá fuera así de fácil. Te busco en cada vida, pero no siempre te encuentro. Y a veces te encuentro demasiado tarde. "
