"It's despair at the lack of (I'm cheating, I didn't say all these things - but I'm going to write what I want to say as well as what I did) feeling, of love, of reason in the world. It's despair that anyone can even contemplate the idea of dropping a bomb or ordering that it should be dropped. It's despair that so few of us care. It's despair that there's so much brutality and callousness in the world."

"After some time he felt for his pipe. It was not broken, and that was something. Then he felt for his pouch, and there was some tobacco in it, and that was something more. Then he felt for matches and he could not find any at all, and that shattered his hopes completely."

"Probably one or two moments in your whole life you will hear a dark whispering spirit, a voice coming from the center of things. It will have blades for lips and will not stop until it speaks the one secret thing at the heart of it all. Kneeling on the floor, unable to stop shuddering, I heard it plainly. It said, You are unlovable..."

"In every way that counted, I was dead. Inside somewhere maybe I was screaming and weeping and howling like an animal, but that was another person deep inside, another person who had no access to the lips and face and mouth and head, so on the surface I just shrugged and smile and kept moving. If I could have physically passed away, just let it all go, like that, without doing anything, stepped out of life as easily as walking through a door I would have done. But I was going to sleep at night and waking in the morning, disappointed to be there and resigned to existence."

"Gabby, Jenna cried. 'It's so horrible. I can't believe this happened.'Jenna, I said in a soothing voice, 'I'm alive and okay. No worries.She sniffled into the phone. 'No, it's not that.I waited a beat. 'What?'The bridesmaid dresses are all wrong! she wailed.'Wait a second, I said. 'You aren't upset over my being dead for four days?'I knew you'd be fine, she explained, brushing off the subject. 'But these dresses? I don't know what to do. They're the wrong color, and they're hideous! She went into a hysterical fit of tears."
Drama
"The truth, as much as people acted like they wanted to hear it, was sometimes too cruel and harsh."
Light
"To have reservations is to show true leadership. To have certainty without question, to lead people to battle with no qualms, or to prosecute without hesitation are qualities of a tyrant."
Leadership
"There was an image in my mind-an expectation of what it would be like when I finally gave myself fully to a man. It wasn't like this. It was always at night with candles flickering lazily, music filling the air with a sexy melody, and maybe a bubble bath. But no. It was infinitely better, and there was no froo froo, stereotypical scene that played out. It was incredible. Brilliant. Amazing. Indescribable, really. Like all the planets in the galaxy aligned for a perfect moment in time. As if this was the beginning of time. From now until the rest of eternity, everything finally had meaning."
Ego
"You should've told me, she repeats. 'Because here's a news flash: You might've wanted to shelter me, but there's nowhere you can hide me that'll keep me safe from what's inside my head."
Psychology
"Struggling transforms her captor into a Chinese finger trap. She's suffocating. Sucking in air without relief. Her lungs expand. Contract. Expand. They fill with lies and broken promises. With despair and lost hope. Each inhale is empty. Invisible hands reach into her body and constrict around her windpipe. She watches her friends collapse like supernovae, their cognizance disappearing into a black hole. A black hole she's quickly cascading into. The dark consumes, bleeds into her vision. She blinks. Catches icy blue eyes peeking out from the shadows."
Trauma
"I wish the Fallen would just come to us for a change.Ironically, Fallen Angels dropped from the sky and surrounded us.'I wish I had a chocolate cake! I exclaimed, staring up.No cake appeared, though I did get a few wry glances. Andrew's body shook with silent laughter while Lucia gaveme raised eyebrows.'What? It worked for the Fallen Angels."
Love
"If this is where you ask me to run around in my birthday suit, I'm not entirely comfortable with that, I said, smirking."
Humor
"I tapped around on my new Miracle Phone-a gift from Joseph-as I listened to the discussion about our next move. I wasn't trying to be rude, but I'd recently become addicted to this one game on my Miracle Phone. Really, I was listening. I could multitask like no other. Trust me, there's an app for that."
Technology
"If you decide to war with us, you will fail and suffer an eternity of misery, he informed, his tone steady and cold. 'Is that explicit enough?'Oh, don't be so dramatic, I said cheerfully, getting in touch with my inner smartass."
