    -understand. She'll want to visit her family.

    If she does, it can only be for a day at the most. I don't approve of her, but the people are fond of her, not to mention the Italians. It would be very inconvenient if she died.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #13

    But if it was always a point of speculation, where one person insisted it was a certain way and another denied it, how would anyone ever hold on to the truth?

  • Kiera Cass Quote #15

    Close your eyes, Maxon.
    What?
    Close your eyes.
    Somewhere in this palace, there is a woman who will be your wife. This girl? imagine that she depends on you. She needs you to cherish her and make her feel like the Selection didn't even happen. Like if you were dropped in your own out in the middle of the country to wander around door to door, she's still the one you would have found. She was always the one you would have picked. She needs you to provide for her and protect her. And if it came to a point where there was absolutely nothing to eat, and you couldn't even fall asleep at night because the sound of her stomach growling kept you awake—
    Stop it!
    Sorry.
    Is that really what it's like? Out there... does that happen? Are people hungry like that a lot?
    Maxon, I...
    Tell me the truth.
    Yes. That happens. I know of families where people give up their share for their children or siblings. I know of a boy who was whipped in the town square for stealing food. Sometimes you do crazy things when you are desperate.
    A boy? How old?
    Nine.
    Have you ever been like that? Starving?
    ...How bad?
    Maxon, it will only upset you more.
    Probably, but I'm only starting to realize how much I don't know about my own country. Please.
    We've been pretty bad. Most time if it gets to where we have to choose, we keep the food and lose electricity. The worst was when it happened near Christmas one year. May didn't understand why we couldn't exchange gifts. As a general rule, there are never any leftovers at my house. Someone always wants more. I know the checks we've gotten over the last few weeks have really helped, and my family is really smart about money. I'm sure they have already tucked it away so it will stretch out for a long time. You've done so much for us, Maxon.
    Good God. When you said that you were only here for the food, you weren't kidding, were you?
    Really, Maxon, we've been doing pretty well lately. I—
    I'll see you at dinner.

    Could it be that simple? Tell one story to one generation and repeat it until it was accepted as fact?

  • Kiera Cass Quote #17

    December 27, 11:00 p.m.

    My Dear America,

    I’ve never written a love letter, so forgive me if I fail now. . . .

    The simple thing would be to say that I love you. But, in truth, it’s so much more than that. I want you, America. I need you.

    I’ve held back so much from you out of fear. I’m afraid that if I show you everything at once, it will overwhelm you, and you’ll run away. I’m afraid that somewhere in the back of your heart is a love for someone else that will never die. I’m afraid that I will make a mistake again, something so huge that you retreat into that silent world of yours. No scolding from a tutor, no lashing from my father, no isolation in my youth has ever hurt me so much as you separating yourself from me.

    I keep thinking that it’s there, waiting to come back and strike me. So I’ve held on to all my options, fearing that the moment I wipe them away, you will be standing there with your arms closed, happy to be my friend but unable to be my equal, my queen, my wife.

    And for you to be my wife is all I want in the world. I love you. I was afraid to admit it for a long time, but I know it now.

    I would never rejoice in the loss of your father, the sadness you’ve felt since he passed, or the emptiness I’ve experienced since you left. But I’m so grateful that you had to go. I’m not sure how long it would have taken for me to figure this out if I hadn’t had to start trying to imagine a life without you. I know now, with absolute certainty, that is nothing I want.

    I wish I was as true an artist as you so that I could find a way to tell you what you’ve become to me. America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees. You are laughter that breaks through sadness. You are the breeze on a too-warm day. You are clarity in the midst of confusion.

    You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that’s all it would manage to do.

    You said that to get things right one of us would have to take a leap of faith. I think I’ve discovered the canyon that must be leaped, and I hope to find you waiting for me on the other side.

    I love you, America.

    Yours forever,

    Maxon

  • Kiera Cass Quote #18

    Eger sana âsik olmami istemiyorsan, bu kadar tatli görünmeye bir son vermelisin. Yarin ilk is, hizmetçilerine senin için patates çuvali diktirecegim!
    Koluna vurdum. Kes sesini Maxon.
    Saka yapmiyorum. Bu kadar güzel olman senin için zararli. Buradan ayrildigin zaman seninle birlikte birkaç muhafiz göndermemiz gerekecek. Asla tek basina hayatta kalamazsin, zavalli sey. Tüm bunlari sakasina, bana aciyormus gibi söylemisti.
    Buna engel olamam. Iç çektim. Kimse dünyaya mükemmel bir sekilde gelmeye engel olamaz. Sanki çok güzel olmak yorucuymus gibi suratimi yelledim.
    Hayir, bunu engelleyebileceginiz sanmiyorum.(sf:231.)

  • Kiera Cass Quote #19

    Every day you say something or do something that challenges me, changes me.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #20

    For the first time maybe ever, it didn't matter if I looked beautiful or not. I felt it.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #21

    Great. Now the queen thought I was a misfit, too.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #22

    He let out a sigh. With my head there against his chest, I could faintly make out the sound of his heart beating through his suit coat. It seemed to be rushing. His hand, gentle as ever, reached to cup my cheek. As I looked into his eyes, I felt that unnameable feeling that was growing between us.
    With his eyes, Maxon asked for something we'd both agree to wait on. I was glad he didn't want to wait anymore. I gave him a tiny nod, and he bridged the small gap between us, kissing me with unimaginable tenderness.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #23

    He must love you very much,' Gavril said once I had my footing.
    I couldn't look at him. 'What makes you say that?' Gavril sighed. 'I've known Maxon since he was a child. He's never stood up to his father like that.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #24

    He reached up and tugged his ear. And I did the same.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #25

    He wasn’t allowed to come with me there—my own rule for this
    little adventure.
    No more.
    Good-bye, Aspen.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #26

    Heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes to the things unseen, show me how to love like you have loved me.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #27

    Hey I'm sorry about the other day. Didn't mean to give you a hard time, I ---

    He held up his hands. It's no problem. And I didn't mean to be pushy. But i've seen a lot of people let the bad around them make them hard or stubborn. In the end, they miss the chance to make their world bette because they only see the worst in it.

    There was still something about the tone of his voice and his features that made me feel like I knew him.

    I know what you mean. I shook my head. I don't want to be like that. But I get so angry. Sometimes I feel like I know too much, or that I've done things I can't make right, and it just hovers over me. And when I see things happen that shouldn't...

    You don't know what to do with yourself.

    Exactly.

    He nodded. Well, I'd start by thinking about what's good. Then I'd ask myself how I could make that good even better.

    I laughed. That doesn't make sense.

    He stood. You just think about it a little.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #28

    How can the truth make anything worse?

  • Kiera Cass Quote #29

    How had I lost so much in such a short period of time? It would seem like leaving your family, living in some foreign place, and being separated from the person you love should be events that take years to roll into place, not just a day.

  • Kiera Cass Quote #30

    I always wondered if they’d change you.
