“My brain didn't seem to want to conform itself to the task at hand and kept wandering to stupid things like a compulsion to line up all the blue M&Ms or count how many times the word "to" appeared in the "To be or not to be" speech (fifteen, as it turns out).”

“Someone as annoying as Milo had no right to be dead.” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Prophecy
“Living was a sad and empty thing” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Ascendancy
“That was one thing I learned about grief; the world doesn’t stop even though it feels like it should.” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Legacy
“I hope that you will all choose the role of the inventive and active learner, rather than that of the reluctant idler.” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Legacy
“What was it like, I wondered, to have a brain that worked like that—organizing and dealing appropriately with feelings instead of alternately ignoring and drowning in them?” ― E.E. Holmes, Heart of the Rebellion
“She told them, ‘I will have my share of bad fortune as High Priestess, but I will not lie down and wait for it to befall me. I will embrace it. I will tame it. I will bend it to my will. Misfortune and I will look each other in the eye, and we will know each holds power in her own way.” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Ascendancy
“out three £100 notes, and slid them across the counter” ― E.E. Holmes, Portraits of the Forsaken
“dissent” ― E.E. Holmes, The World of The Gateway (The Gateway Trackers Books 4-6)
“His chest expanded over and over again, as though the adulation of the crowd were oxygen.” ― E.E. Holmes, Whispers of the Walker

“I mean, for heaven’s sake, why couldn’t we at least fit in here, in this strangest little corner of the world, in this place for people who didn’t fit in anywhere else?” ― E.E. Holmes, The World of The Gateway: Books 1-3
“History has been written and interpreted almost exclusively by men. Every apostle, every great prophet and soothsayer and philosopher, from the dawn of recorded time and almost without exception, are all men. It is staggering and unjust, but there it is. Very few women have ever been accorded a place of real importance in religion. At best, we are the helpers and the nurturers. At worst, we are the temptresses and the root of sin. Is it so very hard to believe, then, that we should be excluded from the annals of spirituality for this most important role?” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Prophecy
“My experience with the world has taught me that it is a random chaos of intersecting paths over which we have no control. Today’s prophecy might just be tomorrow’s scrap paper. It all depends how all of those paths cross with each other. You follow?” ― E.E. Holmes, Awakening of the Seer
“It represents a whole year of my life filled with nothing but days like that. We all have them. It’s called being human—and it’s allowed, you know.” ― E.E. Holmes, Whispers of the Walker
“election can be held, as is procedure and tradition,” Marion” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Prophecy
“Because that’s the thing about women, isn’t it? You can push us down, and you can bury us, and you can heap the world on top of us, until we must surely crumble to dust. And instead, we turn into diamonds.” ― E.E. Holmes, Plague of the Shattered
“But like all power-hungry fundamentalists, she’s a hypocrite at heart. They shout the loudest at other” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Prophecy
“people’s transgressions so that no one will call attention to their own.” ― E.E. Holmes, Spirit Prophecy
