Cynthia Hand,
Unearthly
“So often we only do what we think is expected of us, when we are capable of so much more.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Tucker," I say. "I'm so glad you're still here."I throw myself into his arms. He hugs me tightly."I couldn't leave," he says."I know.""I mean, literally. I don't have a ride.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“There's nothing more inspiring than the complexity and beauty of the human heart.” ― Cynthia Hand, Hallowed
“What do you see in a guy like Christian Prescott?" he asked me that night when he dropped me off from prom. And what he was really saying then, what would have come through loud and clear if I hadn't been so blind was, why don't you see me?” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Are you any good at it?""Pulling idiots out of the snow? I'm the best.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Insert the biggest, most awkward silence in the history of big awkward silences.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“I feel like Cinderella sitting in the middle of the road with a pumpkin and a couple of mice, while Prince Charming charges off to rescue some other chick.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Hey, you feel like driving today?" he asks. "I don't want to walk to the bus stop. It's too cold.""You feel like dying today?""Sure. I like risking my life. Keeps things in perspective.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Tucker: Why would you tell me now if it's against the rules?Clara: Because I love you.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Tucker: "Today we ran into a mama grizzly with two cubs at the ridge off Colter Bay and Clara sang to it to make it go away."Mrs. Avery: You sang to it?Tucker: Her singing is that bad.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Think about a good memory, she whispers in my mind. Remember a moment when you loved him. And just like that, I do. "What did the fish say when it hit a concrete wall?" he asked me. We're sitting on the bank of a stream and he's tying a fly onto my fishing rod, wearing a cowboy hat and red lumberjack-style flannel shirt over a gray tee. So adorable. "What?" I say, he grins. Unbelievable of how gorgeous he is. And that he's mine. He loves me and I love him. "Dam!" he says.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Have you ever been to a place you're supposed to love, but all you can think about is home?” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“I'm looking at you. Why are you always trying to hide how pretty you are?” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Our purpose on this earth is not one single event, an accomplishment we can check off a list. There is no test. No passing or failing. There's only us, each moment shaping who we are, into what we will become.” ― Cynthia Hand, Hallowed
“Sam: "I always thought you were the most beautiful of all the Nephilim."Meg: "That's ironic because I always thought you were the ugliest of all the angels.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Hey, Carrots," he says.” ― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly
“Before I moved here, I never got the whole love-triangle thing. You know, in movies or romance novels or whatnot, where there’s one chick that all the guys are drooling over, even though you can’t see anything particularly special about her. But oh, no, they both must have her. And she’s like, oh dear, however will I choose? William is so sensitive, he understands me, he swept me off my feet, oh misery, blubber, blubber, but how can I go on living without Rafe and his devil-may-care ways and his dark and only-a-little-abusive love? Upchuck.” ― Cynthia Hand, Hallowed
“This is the part where I kiss you.” ― Cynthia Hand, Hallowed
