"I gritted my teeth, burying my face in the pillow so no one would hear me cry. When my sobs finally subsided and my breathing calmed down, I felt oddly separated from myself, like a wall of steel was coming down, protecting the real me from the one that would now face the world."
-from The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze
"The problem with human attraction is not knowing if it will be returned."

"She thought about their high school years, when Drew would drop anything he was doing to be at her beck and call. She suddenly decided she needed a Slushee at midnight? He'd bring it to her. Her car broke down on the side of the 101? He'd be there before any tow truck. He'd doted on her utterly and completely. And she'd counted on that."
-from Starstruck (The Fame Game #2 by Lauren Conrad)
"Honestly, why do boys always think they know what's best for us? Why can't they just talk?"
-from The Lost Prince (Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #1) by Julie Kagawa
"My grandfather was a wise man ... He told me not to put your trust in only your eyes. That to truly see, sometimes you had to put your trust in only your eyes. That to truly see, sometimes you had to put your faith in the invisible things. You had to believe what no one was willing to."

-from Finale (Hush, Hush Saga #4 by Becca Fitzpatrick
"Did you know, the first time I saw you, I thought: I've never seen anything more captivating? ... I saw you, and I wanted to be close to you. I wanted you to let me in. I wanted to know you in a way no one else did. I wanted you, all of you. The wanting nearly drove me mad."

Hey, I heard you were a wild one, ooh,
If I took you home it'd be a home run
-"Wild Ones" by Flo Rida feat. Sia
I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over,
If I'm wrong, I am right,
Don't need to look no further, this is ain't lust,
I know this is love
But if I tell the world, I'll never say enough,
'Cause it was not said to you and that's exactly what I need to do
If I end up with you
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements,
Even if it leads nowhere?
Oh, would it be a waste,
Even if I knew my place?
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements,
Even if it leads nowhere?
I build myself up and fly around in circles,
Wait then as my heart drops and my back begins to tingle,
Finally could this be it?
-"Chasing Pavements" by Adele
