"If a person is saved, and still continues to live according to his former worldly way of life, he isnot only destroying himself and his salvation - he is also destroying his whole life."
"It was like magic, but so much of magic is about misdirection, whereas so much of redemption is straightforward and ordinary, piercing true and lit with surprise."

The man you were still lives within you, repressed by the man you have struggled to become."
"I should have forgiven him."Maybe. Maybe there's more we all could have done, he says, "but we just have to let the guilt remind us to do better next time.I frown and pull back. That is a lesson that members of Abnegation learn " guilt as a tool, rather than a weapon against the self."

"Breathing became a painful chore. Her lips turned down while her warm fingers caressed my cheek. That touch typically brought me to my knees, but now it cut me."
"It wouldn't be fair to Chevy, and it wouldn't be fair to me. The love I had for him was consuming and powerful and raw. I briefly close my eyes as memories of Chevy's hands on my body and his lips on mine cause warmth to curl in my bloodstream...Even when we fought, we never had problems with attraction."
"It's a beautiful smile. One that brightens the rat-infested attic room. No one has ever smiled like that at me. No one. Everything inside me twists with the need to keep her close.I should be pissed. Who knows if I'll ever see the money from Eric. Who knows if Noah and I will lose the lease, sending me back into the system. Right now, I don't f*cking care. I'm touching an angel."

I got this one chance. My last chance. I don't want to blow what little time I have left with her so no, I don't want anyone rocking her world."
"She's so beautiful it hurts. Golden blond hair flows past her shoulders. Those gorgeous violet eyes shouldn't be so wide with fear. I've dreamed of being this close to her again. I ache to gather her in my arms and keep her safe from the world...to be her protector, but I can't be that man."

Never in a million years would I have imagined I'd be the girl who'd say she was falling fast for a boy before he did. Never in a million years did I think I'd be lying in bed with a totally ripped guy that has his shirt off. But Isaiah has this effect on me. He makes me feel stronger than I really am."
