Famous Nicole Sobon Quotes

“If it comes down to it, and it doesn’t look like I’ll win,” I started. “Let me die.” He stood perfectly still for a moment, his eyes dark and his lips pursed as though carefully mulling over his words. When he finally did speak, the sudden rasp of his voice sent a shiver down my spine. “As a servant of Dante, I’m not to risk my own being to save your own. However, I can’t let you sacrifice yourself for a war you were unfairly born into.” “Dare I ask why” I placed my hand in his and allowed him to pull me to my feet. “Because some souls are worth saving.”

I wasn’t supposed to remember it, but I did. When they exported my memories and my life from my body, every trace of the accident was supposed to be erased. But it still remained. You can’t erase death. That was what Hayden was trying to tell me. No matter how much he wanted to forget, he couldn’t.”
