“Eu tinha tudo o que precisava para começar. O destino era cheio de ironias. Aprendíamos sobre a vida quando enfrentávamos a morte; revivíamos o amor quando o enterrávamos; e reconstruíamos sonhos quando eles já estavam despedaçados. Foi preciso perder o medo de machucar os outros para que eu encontrasse minha coragem em algum lugar escondida dentro de mim.”

“Espero que não pense que sou um monstro por escolher minha vida, ao menos uma vez. Foi preciso deixar meu sonho e meu amor morrerem para que eu percebesse que ainda estava viva. Só sei que não posso continuar naquela personagem, aquela versão mal-acabada de mim, um zumbi que se perdeu. Tudo o que preciso é de uma chance de sair desse beco no qual me encontro. Entenda, há coisas que, depois que descobrimos, nunca mais nos deixam voltar atrás. Não é como se você pudesse esquecer aquilo o que aprendeu.”

“With a few swift steps, Adrian stood in front of me again. The wall was only a couple inches behind me, and I had nowhere to go. He made no threatening moves, but he did clasp my hands and hold them to his chest while leaning down to me. “No, you will listen. For once, you’re going to hear something that doesn’t fit into your neat, compartmentalized world of order and logic and reason. Because this isn’t reasonable. If you’re terrified, believe me—this scares the hell out of me, too. You asked about Rose? I tried to be a better person for her—but it was to impress her, to get her to want me. But when I’m around you, I want to be better because… well, because it feels right. Because I want to. You make me want to become something greater than myself. I want to excel. You inspire me in every act, every word, every glance. I look at you, and you’re like… like light made into flesh. I said it on Halloween and meant every word: you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this earth. And you don’t even know it. You have no clue how beautiful you are or how brightly you shine.”
