Fav Quotes: Demon’s Lexicon
Recently I reread The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan... Honestly, I love it so much every time, this time I thought I’d make a collection of chosen quotes that I found the most funny, touching, wise or simply likable...

I thought at least there was Alan, but then you hit him.” […] “I’ve never thought about you enough to dislike you.” Nick said. “I just think you’re useless.”
“Do you want to tell me? While I’m still young?”
“It seemed that the word “home”, once learned, was hard to forget.”
