    For what? Sixty?

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #8

    HlI watch Ethan try to connect the dots in his head, And suddenly his face falls into a sad smile.

    Oh, he says. And that's all.

    I walk over to him, my bare feet sinking into the sand as I trudge along. He's grinning at me now, but it's not the usual plastered-on smile he usually has. This one is somehow more authentic.

    When I'm within a few feet of him, he holds his arms out.

    You're going to be such a good leader, he says. I'm so proud of you, Five.

    I embrace Ethan. His arms fold around me as he pats me on the back. He lets out a long, slow sigh and then starts to say something. I cut him off before he can get the words out. I can't stand to hear him say another thing.

    Ethan, I'm really sorry about this. But it's for the best.

    I can feel his body clench as the blade slips out of my forearm sheath and into his back. It slides between his ribs-a lucky shot- then retracts back into my hoodie sleeve. It's over in an instant. I step away from him. He stands frozen, probably in shock. There's a deep spot of read blooming across the right side of his chest where the blade must have broken the skin. Blood drops down from the hidden wrist sheath, running over my right hand before falling from my fingertips to the sand.

    It's over, I murmur, more to myself than to Ethan. He's probably not paying much attention to what I have to say. Tears are welling in his good eye, but I don't know if they're for me or for himself.

    He blinks once and then falls to the beach with a soft thud.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #9

    Hope?” he says. “There is always hope, John. New developments have yet to present themselves. Not all the information is in. No. Don’t give up hope just yet. It’s the last thing to go. When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #10

    I don't know where you have to go or what you have to do, but I'll wait for you, John. Every bit of my heart belongs to you, whether you ask for it or not.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #11

    I don't know why I still feel this pit in my stomach whenever I get a moment to think. I know what the pit is, too; I feel lonely. But I'm not alone, I keep telling myself.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #12

    I imagine the future and I smile grimly. There's only one way to make that happen. It's time to fight

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #13

    I jerk around and see Sister Dora, a portly woman who's the head cook in the kitchen, staring daggers at me. This is nothing new. She stares daggers at everyone who walks through the lunch line holding a tray, as though our needing sustenance is a personal affront.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #14

    I know what I'm capable of; I am a soldier now, a warrior. I am someone to fear, not hunt.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #15

    I like the idea of making some friends, of going to the same school for more than a few months, of maybe actually having a life. I started to do it in Florida. It was sort of great, and for the first time since we've been on Earth, I almost feel normal. I want to find somewhere and stay somewhere.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #17

    I'll come back to you, I say. I promise you, if it's the last thing I do, I'll come back to you.

    Her face is buried in my neck. She nods.

    I'll count the minutes until you do. she says.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #18

    I'm acting like someone who is starting to realize who he is and what he can do.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #19

    I'm so sorry, Henri, I whisper in his ear. I close my eyes. I love you. I wouldn't have missed a second of it, either. Not for anything, I whisper. I'm going to take you back yet. Somehow I am going to get you back to Lorien. We always joked about it but you were my father, the best father I could have ever asked for. I'll never forget you, not for a minute for as long as I live. I love you, Henri. I always did.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #20

    I've learned that some memories surprise you and reveal a sharp edge just when you least expect it.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #21

    I[John/Four] scratched Bernie Kosar's head. I don't think I could get used to calling him Hadley, but maybe I could get used to calling Six Maren Elizabeth. I think you should take on a human name, I say. If not Maren Elizabeth, then something else. I mean, at least for when we're in front of strangers.

    Everyone grows silent, and I reach behind me into the Chest for the velvet bag holding the Lorien's solar system. I set the six planets and the sun in my palm and watch them hover and glow to life. As the planets begin to orbit their sun, I find that I am able to dim their brightness with my mind. I intentionally lose myself in them, successfully forgetting just for a few moments that I might ba seeing Sarah soon.

    Six turns to look at the faint solar system that floats in front of my chest, and then she finally says. I don't know; I still like the name Six. Maren Elizabeth was when I was a different person, and right now Six just feels right. It can be short for something if Someone asks.

    Sam looks over. For what? Sixty?

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #22

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #23

    If you ever know a man who tries to drown his sorrows, kindly inform him his sorrows know how to swim.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #24

    Images flicker, each one bringing its own sorrow or its own smile. Sometimes both. At the very worst, an impenetrable and sightless black and at best, a happiness so bright that it hurts the eyes to see, coming and going on some unseen projector perpetually turned by an invisible hand. One, then another. The hollow click of the shutter. Now stop. Freeze this frame. Pluck it down and hold it close and be damned by what you see. Henri always said: the price of a memory is the memory if the sorrow it brings.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #25

    It is practical, but that doesn't mean it's right.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #26

    Maybe the only good thing about death is that you never have to relive it. You never have to remember the pain.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #27

    My experiences have taught me that things rarely improve with a simple change of scenery.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #28

    My heart is breaking, she says. I want to be strong for you right now but the thought of you leaving is killing me inside.

  • Pittacus Lore Quote #29

    Never lose faith in yourself, and never lose hope; remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back, there is still always hope.
