„Megváltoztatom a világot, a világ megváltoztat engem.”

„A dolgok önmagukban, önmaguktól nem jók, vagy rosszak, csak az teszi őket egyikké, vagy másikká, hogy mit kezdünk velük.”

„Árnyék nélkül nem vesszük észre a fényt.”

„Talán, talán. Van-e erősebb kábítószer ennél a szónál?”

„Élni annyi, mint szeretni, szeretni annyi, mint élni.”

“Dude, this is a stoner conversation and we're not even high”

“Because you can't keep up the illusion forever," I say. "No one has that much magic.”

“I had thought Felicity dangerous a moment ago, when she felt powerful. I was wrong. Wounded and powerless, she is more dangerous than I could imagine.”

“The night's chilly breath tickles up my neck and finds my ear, whispering secrets only the wind knows.”

“I can see his pain, see it in the way he runs his fingers through his hair, over and over, and I understand what it costs him to hide it all.”

“Naughty John, Naughty John, does his work with his apron on. Cuts your throat and takes your bones, sells 'em off for a coupla stones.”

“People aren't always what you want them to be”

“What do you feel? I’ve never been asked this question once. None of us has. We aren’t supposed to feel. We’re British.”

“I'm an oddity of one, my strangeness too complicated to explain or share.”

“Think: who has vans, huh? Soccer moms and serial killers.”

“Because it is morning, it is morning, and there is so much to see.”

“A gentle breeze catches in the branches then and I hear it, soft and low, a murmured prayer--Gem-ma, Gem-ma--and then the leaves bend down and trail delicate fingers across my cold cheeks.”

“When she can't bring me to heal with scolding, she bends me to shape with guilt.”

“I change the world, the world changes me.”

“We are all unkind from time to time. We all do things we desperately wish we could undo. Those regrets just become part of who we are, along with everything else. To spend time trying to change that, well, it's like chasing clouds.”

“That's what living in their world is-a big lie. An illusion where everyone looks the other way and pretends that nothing unpleasant exists at all, no goblins of the dark, no ghosts of the soul.”

“If God has nothing better to do than punish schoolgirls for a bit of tomfoolery, then I've no use for God.”

“And now I understand that truth casts a spell of its own, one I'm not sure of how to hold on to, though I'm desperate to try.”

“All things are possible.”

“I shan't ever understand your willingness to lie down and die," Felicity bars. "If you won't at least try to fight, I have no sympathy for you.”

“Maybe that's what real friendship is -- getting so used to people that you need to be annoyed by them.”

“The world expected girls to pluck and primp and put on heels. Meanwhile, boys dressed in rumpled T-shirts and baggy pants and misplace their combs, and yet you were suppose to fall at their feet? Unacceptable.”

“True affection and love have a purity which shall always prevail over bigotry.”

“I've heard it said that God is in the details. It's the same with the truth. Leave out the details, the crucial heart, and you can damn someone with the bare bones of it.”
