â Â it takes 10 times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart .â
â Â why am i not dead ? i should be dead .â
â having an eye for beauty isnât the same thing has having a weakness .â
â Â i wish i could freeze this moment , right here , right now , & live in it forever .â
â Â no one really needs me .â
â remember , weâre madly in love , so itâs all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it .â
â  i am not pretty . i am not beautiful . i am as radiant as the sun .â
â  you love me . real or not real ? â
â  ally . friend . lover . victor . enemy . fiancee . target . mutt . neighbor . hunter . ally. iâll add it to the list of words i use to try to figure you out. â
â Â here itâs safe , here itâs warm .â
â Â iâm not like the rest of you . thereâs no one left i love .â
â Â iâm very hard to catch , & if they canât catch me , they canât kill me .â
â Â stupid people are dangerous .â
â  you donât forget the face of the person who was your last hope .â
â Â youâve got about as much charm as a dead slug .â
â Â my nightmares are usually about losing you .â
â Â for there to be betrayal , there would have to have been trust first .â
â  destroying things is much easier than making them .â
â Â hereâs some advice . stay alive .â
â Â theyâll either want to kill you , kiss you , or be you .â
â  youâre not leaving me here alone .â
â  well , i donât have much competition here .â
â  you here to finish me off , sweetheart ? â
â Â i stand by what i said . do you want me to lie about it ? â
â  because iâm selfish . iâm a coward . â
â Â you & me , weâre even . no more owed . you understand ? â
â Â if we burn , you burn with us .â
â Â what ? do you find this distracting ? â
â Â i can still rip your throat out .â
â Â whereâs loverboy ? â
â Â iâm the kind of girl who , when she might actually be of use , would run to stay alive and leave those who couldnât follow to suffer and die .â
â Â the kisses have the opposite effect , of make my need greater . i thought i was something of an expert on hunger , but this is an entirely new kind . â
â Â hope . hope is the only thing stronger than fear .â
â Â a spark could be enough to set them ablaze . â
â Â kind people have a way of working their way inside me and rooting there .â
â Â whatever breaks you .â
â  i am in pain . thatâs the only way i get your attention . â
â Â iâm not going anywhere . iâm going to stay here and cause all kinds of trouble .â
â  imagine thousands of your people , dead . your loved ones , gone . â
â Â i hate being so alone .â
â  donât make me sorry i restarted your heart .â
â Â they will kill us .â
â Â you know , you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him .â
â  please feel free to take this personally . â
â Â at some point , you have to stop running & turn around and face whoever wants you dead .â
â Â aim higher in case you fall short .â
â Â some walks you have to take alone .â
â Â whatever breaks you .â
â Â well , youâre a piece of work , arenât you ? â
â Â isnât it strange that i know youâd risk your life to save mine , but i donât even know what your favorite color is ? â
â Â you are my life .â
â Â iâm here to help you make an impression .â
â Â you have no idea . the effect you can have .â
â Â if desperate times call for desperate measures , then i am free to act as desperately as i wish .â
â Â so when did I become so special ? â
â Â youâre not afraid iâll kill you tonight ? â
â Â technically , i am unarmed . but no one should underestimate the harm fingernails can do .â
â Â i doubt theyâll figure out our plan , since we can barely understand it ourselves .â
â Â mess with us & weâll do something worse than kill you . weâll kill your children .â
â Â youâre kind of squeamish for such a lethal person .â
â Â youâre not going to die . i forbid it . all right ? â
â Â i thought we had an agreement not to lie to each other. â
â Â closing my eyes doesnât help . fire burns brighter in the darkness . â
â  jealousy is certainly involved . â
â  what is the worst pain ? to me , itâs always the pain that is present . â
â Â iâve been down by the stream collecting berries . would you care for some ? â
â Â may the odds be ever in your favor .â
â  what i need is the dandelion in the spring . the bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction . the promise that life can go on , no matter how bad our losses .â
â Â ____ ? maybe some pants ? â
â  i canât tell whatâs real anymore , & whatâs made up . â
â Â i knew youâd kiss me . â
